This week we will be joined by Tyler, who will be answering questions sent into us at mailbag@thevinecast.com, as well as no doubt discussing (or denying, depending on how drunk he got) what happened at Vinemeet Chicago, which started yesterday.

We will be also be getting a visit from Ryan Stolte-Sawa and the other members of Flotation Walls, who’s debut album, Nature was just released.

As usual, we are up for suggestions of things to discuss, Viners to try to get on the show, and any other feedback you might have, which can all go to mailbag@thevinecast.com(along with any questions for Tyler, please please please send in your questions!).

In other Vinecast news, the Vinecast now has it’s own twitter account for news, updates, ranting, etc, and we just scored our first official sponsor, which I’ll be talking about on the show this week (and weeks to come if all goes well!).

Drop by the new chat page at 8pm EST on Monday the 15th if you want to listen and chat with us live, and of course, there’s also the less interactive podcast version that will go up alongside the show notes on Tuesday morning.

Comments on this post should be made here on Newsvine.

Today I’m joined by Dennis P McCann, and Robertlyn Schultz.

So if you prefer feel free to hit me with a flood of messages there too.

If you’d like to discuss this episode, head on over to the show notes article on Newsvine

We talk about the recent banning of a pile of users due to block voting and other CoH violations (including talking to one such user).

This week was a bit of an experiment, and though it ended up being a fairly chaotic recording, it was still quite entertaining (I think at least).

You can find the feed for the podcast over here, or if you prefer, you can listen to the audio directly in the embedded player right here, or on my column, the Vinecast’s Talkshoe page. There is even an subscribe by email option for those that don’t use a podcatcher or rss feed reader but want to be kept up to date. And for you itunes users, of course you can use that too.

This week we talked about…

The new user columns beta…or “Why the hell do some user’s column’s look so much different this week?”

A bunch of other random stuff…

Join us for the live recording of the Vinecast on Monday nights at 8pm EST on Talkshoe.

Despite some technical trouble (wouldn’t be the Vinecast without a glitch or 5), the Vinecast has returned!

I was joined by Viki, Myk, Yasmin, and Shawn, and we had (I think) a pretty fun time recording the show…especially with the addition of doing the recording with a chatroom of live listeners commenting and otherwise being hilariously distracting (I’m looking at YOU lauhal).

This week we talked about…

Vineacity Revision Proposal II: Badges

The Newsvine Photo Pool

Newsvine Groups V2

The No Asshat Zone

A Radical Notion

And as usual, we interweave in some randomness and fun throughout. Helped in no small part by the great bunch of people in the live chat during the recording…we HAVE to have live chat from now on…it’s a must.

Any questions/comments/suggestions/etc for the Vinecast can go to mailbag@thevinecast.com.

Today I am joined by urbane gorilla, aka Juliana. This week it runs about 36 minutes…a nice short episode.
