Natali, don't sweat it. I've been a TV producer for almost 20 years. One thing I've learned is that it's a process. But I've also learned that the Devil is in the details, especially the technical ones. If your given enough time to build some momentum (budgets are tight and management wants things to be a hit right out of the gate it seems) you'll work through the issues and find your rhythm. I applaud you for taking the risk to mount this ambitious project, and I look forward to further webcasts.

Well we can blame Apple too for changing the ports!

A problem was the 1 min lock out after each comment in the chat, it really slows down the natural flow of thought when you have to wait for the clock to countdown so you can post again.

Technical difficulties & other problems are to be expected when you think outside the box to bring the news to us in a different way.
I'm enjoying the access to something new & I'll try to check back on Tuesday!

Do your thing Nat. I've been following from the beginning and you just keep getting better and better. Stay with that thought that you always move forward and upward in everything you do. I see greatness in your journalism and your reporting. You look great on camera and have a way of capturing your audience. I have turned some of my friends on to Loaded and they love it. Keep on moving forward, you're great!

Couldn't hardware expertise from the CNET side of the house be brought to bear on this CBSNews.com problem?

Keep up the good work, the little details will be worked out soon. That's why it's a pilot and not the finished show :-)

I agree with Tales about the chat. There were a lot of complaints about the ustream chat and people left. Connecting to IRC would be ideal.

I participated on the broadcast and as a whole I thought it went pretty good considering the technical difficulties you were experiencing. I think every newsgroup spent too much time on MJ's death, but that's just my opinion. I think this is the wave of the future where more and more people are going to their news information from the internet rather from the traditional TV Networks news. Keep up the good work.

Come on you work for CNet the last place you should be having technical difficulties,*metaphore moment :)- you wouldn't starve in a grocery store would ya. I caught your 1st broadcast and it did seem like a highschool student's you-tube project, oh well, you got my support. Lastly I've noticed that you have quite a few deer-in-the-headlight moments, considering..."let say the situation", you kept your composer.
