I see your point, but I think putting these guys in the same category as Trudeau is a little harsh! A big part of creating a successful ARG is building a rich, believable playground. Yes it's frustrating to find out you're being played, but in hindsight it made the experience much more fun and interesting.

What original web shows are you watching this Fall?

Posted by maxhdrm on 09/23/2008 at 12:36:52 pm in Epic Fu

Never heard of any of those so I will have to check it out. Xm8seven is right most of "webisodes" not full lengnth like Rev3 but even so I found myself addicted to Gemini Division on scifi. Trust me, get past 2-3 episodes and you are hooked.

Episode 130 - Face Explosions, Hackable Wallets, Sorority Forever [Discussion]

Posted by stevewoolf on 09/24/2008 at 12:24:16 am in Epic Fu

Sorry, I missed this post earlier but I wanted to answer it anyway. We've gone to once a week but the show is almost twice as long. Each of the days didn't have a real identity, and there were a lot of folks that didn't even realize we were putting out two shows a week.

All the content from both shows is rolled into one now. FU of the Week, Artist of the Week, music video spotlight, sketches, news, correspondent segments, interviews, you name it!

So you're not going to cover the RNC then?

What Happened to iPhone App?

Posted by stevewoolf on 09/03/2008 at 02:07:42 am in Epic Fu

Hi Gordie -

Unfortunately the EPIC FU iPhone app starting having some problems pulling the RSS feed from Rev3. It was created by a 16 year old fan of ours in Illinois, which is very, very cool. And it was downloaded over 15,000 times according to Apple.

I think the guy who created it is relatively new to developing for the iPhone. By the time he got an update shipped off to Apple for approval, they decided to stop offering podcast apps for the iPhone. I think the ones that are up, like Diggnation's, will be grandfathered in, but they wouldn't accept the developer's update.

We'll ping Apple and see if we can get it going again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Steve

Episode 124 - Alternative Search Engines [Discussion]

Posted by MediaMisfit on 08/22/2008 at 10:55:31 am in Epic Fu

Since there was no thread for this episode I thought I'd start one.

The search engines that were listed really weren't all that wowing. I think WebbAlert reported on Cuil a long time ago when it launch and I think it sucked then also.

One search engine I think would have been VERY GOOD to mention would have been VIEWZI (*link*

Chris Pirillo is the only other guy who has really mentioned it so far. *link*
