One of the best shows in a long time.  Is TWIT the new Diggnation?  or is TWIT the Diggnation for the over 30 demographic?

Given that the problem of Discovery and Distribution of applications (with the iPhone) is resolved – how do companies attain mindshare, and brand-awareness on this distribution platform?

It’s been less that a year since I blogged about Buzz Out Loud’s Loss (CNET), and Mahalo’s gain. Now big Jason must be driving up and down 101 in a loaner Tesla looking for someone more awesome than Veronica as she heads out the door.

Word has it she may be heading to Rev3 .. but I am hoping we will see her on Network Television. She is now accustom to the daily grind of production and ready for the big leagues.

Wherever you land Veronica — your fans will no doubt be there to cheer you on as you work you next riff.

Updated 8 April - Veronica is heading to Revision as the new host of TekZilla, sourced from her blog.

Tangler supports both synchronous and asynchronous updates to real-time forum discussions without page refreshes.

I would expect in coming months we will see a lot of other products support autonomous updates between the user and the application back-end. Issues remain with various browser platforms and the lack of consistent support for AJAX .. leading to code branches specific to specific browsers and even versions of specific browsers.

AJAX is a solution, but perhaps not the next solution. Flex and other runtime embedded technology may provide a more predictable experience for the user. However, users will have to wait for ports of the runtime environment for each of their chooses platforms and browsers.
