The SNOWMEN HUNTERS are with you Leo Laporte!
This week, Laporte, over at his site TWiT.tv put for the idea of calling what we all do in online entertainment netcasting rather than podcasting. As proud members of the TWIT army from the start, the SNOWMEN HUNTERS are with you here, Leo.
Having waited for the coming internet broadcasting revolution since work in network sitcoms dried up (thanks for nothing, FEAR FACTOR! THE SIMPLE LIFE... you're dead to us!) we're very excited about the grassroots broadcasting possibilities.
But with our new online comedy series SNOWMEN HUNTERS, we've become frustrated there isn't a good word for online TV-style entertainment.
Podcast... that has an audio-only meaning these days. And people think you need an iPod to see or hear it.
Vlog... No thanks, and I think you burped something onto your shirt.
Vidcast... too A/V club nerdy. By that we mean lunch-time-in-the-library nerdy. Coming from a guy who spent his lunches in the library (Jusus-bouncing-baby-Christ I was nerdy) those are days I'd like to forget. Sorry vidcast.
Internet Protocol Television, aka IPTV... a name only a Linux evangalist could love.
Feedcast... What the frack is that? (email your notations of how nerdy a curse word like frack is to CSmith@Zanzibar19.com).Mobcast... Because there aren't enough GODFATHER references in popular culture.
TAWCast or DCast... Stop. Just stop.
TeleCast... now we are literally going in cirlces.
Leocast... insert your complaint about shameless Laporte bottom-kissing here.
Netcast is short, simple, clear to the regular person and it's short, sweet and non-techie. i.e. It's a normal word.
So we're with you, and everyone who disagrees with you (in this case) is wrong. There, we said it.
From the Snowman Army to the TWiT army, we're with you.
