Internet Geek TV - TWIT TV

Back in 1999, There was a cable channel called "TechTV".
Tech TV was by far the best techie channel and shows ever created.

Then Comcast came along and Crushed it in 2004, as a matter of fact I was watching the channel at 2 am when it turned off, unexpectedly, never to be seen again. The shows merged into channel G4 are total fluff.

The main person on Tech TV was Leo Laporte. He now has a internet based "tv" type channel available at:
http://live.twit.tv/

They have a calendar posting their show schedule by clicking here.
This is my primary TV viewing now, on my secondary monitor.
Yea, geek.

The tech they use is through a site called stickAM, where ANYONE can create their own chat/video broadcasts for others to join.

UPDATE 1/7/9 Read more at this article by clicking here.

Social Networking and Internet based news

The web has evolved into an online community where people share pictures, movies, thoughts (blogs), and opinions through various web sites.

Youtube is the site for sharing videos, allowing users to embed video streaming into their own web sites hosted by youtube.
Flickr is "the" site for sharing pictures.
Digg is "the" site for people scouring the web with worthy news to share, and voting for articles to surface for us to read.
Pandora and last.fm are both popular sites for streaming music to you by using tailored playlists.

I found a site that agregates all the popular buzz sites information to one page, for at-a-glance to see what the daily buzz is on the net for you to read, called popurls.

Whether your "hip" with the latest web buzz or not, check out popurls, you'll be glad you did.
