Great Great episode, defiantly one of my favorites

[geekdw]

Can already tell this is gonna be a good one. (almost) just like old school diggnation

[cybersleeper]

Congratulations Kevin, Alex, Prager & Glenn on Episode #200

I wouldn't doubt it if you really have had 1238 beers, Glenn needs to change the Diggnation graphics during the opening for the show, example: "Diggnation Episode #200 Beers Consumed 1238".

Glad to see Michelob sponsoring this episode, yes Kevin I agree, my favorite from the Spring Sampler is also the Honey Wheat. Just started following Michelob on Twitter also, that's awesome how they reply back to you. Thanks Michelob for sponsoring Diggnation !!

Again, congrats going out to Alex for his iLick app, looking forward to future apps, maybe a Diggnation app. So Alex, where's the profits going? Maybe a Macbook Pro

Still can't believe John Madden is calling it quits, enjoyed lots of Monday Night Football with my dad, grandpa and John Madden.

When Alex talked about banging Martha Stewart, I agree, she is one hot MILF

Kevin, thanks for putting together the Tea Starter kit at Samovar, it's awesome.

My favorite live episodes are the one's at the small bars, don't know why, it just is.

Looking forward to another 200 episodes !!!

Excellent episode! Not only the reminiscing. I'm glad to hear the "iLick" app is already breaking the top 100! Gives us hope to see some cool apps from Alex in the future.

[whoisscott]

yea i'm looking forward to future apps from alex.

I loved the zune discussion. Although i have both a working iphone and ipod, photo looks pretty cool, i'm interested in seeing how it turns out

Oh man. Okay everyone. After watching this episode, I remembered why I loved/love this show so so much. Maybe it's good content. Maybe it is because I grew up watching them. Maybe it's because they finally provided an outlet for the geek in me. But wow...what a ride it has been.

Hands down...what a chemistry these two have together. Comparable to Salt and Pepper, Peanut Butter and Jelly, McCartney and Lennon. Wow. Epic individual show. Epic show in general. I feel sorry for anyone who has not had the privilege to have an episode of diggnation in their lives every week.

Maybe I am exaggerating the meaning of this show but for anyone who has watched since the very first episode when Alex looked like a plumber, it was hot and there were flies, Keith made paper frogs, revision3 was a joke of a site, and Digg.com was still in version 1.0...I think you know what I mean.

Wow...what a journey it has been and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Diggnation.

What new show was this? This definitely wasn't Diggnation... because Diggnation was in a downward spiral, and this show kinda not sucked...

Kevin talking about the Zune OS... didn't he say that was the one thing he liked about Win7? the simplistic white icons... guess opinions depend on the day... I think if the zune became a phone it could give competition to the iphone.

If I was Martha Stewart's age and was a single lonely old man... I'd do her lol But being young and cool still... i think I can do better can't believe I said I'd do Martha lol

Those two blotches of dirt??? or whatever it was by Alex's head kept distracting me...

Lala is hot... and I, like her, have never seen shawshank redemption... in it's entirety at least... I've seen bits and pieces.

Excellent Episode

I think there is a sizable part of the market that _does_ want a more text-oriented interface. I would imagine most programmers (like myself) would rather see more emphasis on text instead of icons.

When I was playing WoW, the standard bags looked a lot like iPhone interface, sans captions below icons. I had a lot of trouble with those, even with basic tasks like seeing which icon was added and which ones are out of place. When I switched to an addon (Baud Manifest) that displayed tiny icons and full captions in large font, everything became much, much easier.

So, at least for yours truly, Zune's home screen is far more usable than the iPhone's.

Good show

congratulations on #200, most television shows don't even make 200 episodes. i was surprised the marriage proposal didn't make the cut, i guess because she said no and ruined dan's life.

p.s. everyone should purchase iLick, it's 99 cents, 69 cents goes to alex, help him out, it's not nearly as bad as iFart or the million other stupid apps.
