Short Format Idea

[joey85]

Hey everyone, still debating on whether or not I Digg the short format (So far, it seems alright as long as it doesn't take away from the full length show) But can I make one suggestion?

Instead of doing one 30 second tip, I think it would be cool to maybe answer a viewer email.

For example, answer 1 email per day, and just explain how to do something, how to work something, or whatever. In the normal show I learn a lot about viewer emails, and they typically last 1-3 minutes per email.

Just a suggestion, I guess sort of like a "Call for help" type segment. As long as the emails are kept interesting (IE, not 'How to right click...") I think it would work pretty well.

Thoughts?

yeah i like this idea as well. maybe even a mixture of the both. like maybe one day a tip/trick/how to...whatever. maybe a few days later if they have a good email...go with that.

i think that would keep things interesting. good idea.

daily show great idea. Answering our emails a very great idea. DIY on current technology, software, web nation, etc. Liked the LCD & raw show. As a pro-photographer I like hearing about the next big thing that will help me at work (ie photoshop vs lightroom, dreamweaver vs msft expression).

Keep up the good work and don' t revert to old dl.tv stick as I am a new rev3 convert.

Love Tekzilla (longtime fan of the old TSS, so it's good to see Patrick & Jessica again!), and I'm liking the short form - but I'm not sure about it being part of the main feed. Maybe do a separate feed with the Daily version to keep them separate?

I'd like to second Joey's and Kevin's ideas about alternating a viewer mail question with a tech tip - I think this is a great idea.

I am enjoying the new short format idea. i think it would also be nice to include a couple of viewer emails at the end of each broadcast. Keep up the great work.
