  • garyv, on 01/03/2008, -27/+18Hell yeah REV3, Jay A and Prager are st8 PIMPS!
    • samureye, on 01/03/2008, -4/+27State pimps? That would be Clinton. Assuming you meant STR8!
      • narcofiche, on 01/03/2008, -0/+14Maybe he meant they haven't reached national pimp status yet.
    • MrTinker, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4Has anyone on the inside talked about bringing WLTV onto Rev3? Might be some pros there...
  • tboutcher, on 01/03/2008, -6/+82New Media FTW!
    • simplenation, on 01/03/2008, -8/+4i agree. if only there was some way to invest in this company, because i saw this coming a few years ago.
    • Nerfdude, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2when's the party?
  • tonybcool29, on 01/03/2008, -2/+42Rev3 really is paving the way. Great news.
  • samureye, on 01/03/2008, -35/+2OMG JAY See what Happenz when u get a gud CeO? Louderback Pwnered j00! Lulz!
    • Books, on 01/03/2008, -1/+3I always see you post on the forums, but that was just a lame ass comment. I thought you were cool man.
    • AriaStar, on 01/03/2008, -5/+2Sammy, your lameness here disappoints me. :)
    • samureye, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Thank you very much, try the veal.
  • MikeonTV, on 01/03/2008, -20/+1Your welcome
  • jayadelson, on 01/03/2008, -2/+59Packager? Man, what was in my Cheerios this morning?
  • cash0utcurse, on 01/03/2008, -26/+9The only show I watch on Rev3 is TRS. If they did more episodes of The Broken I'd watch that too. The diggnation formula got pretty old fast.
    • kevinmotel, on 01/03/2008, -3/+17so you like 3 guys sitting around talking about media instead of 2 guys sitting around talking about tech?
    • mediamaker, on 01/03/2008, -4/+3LOVE TRS.
      Jeff gets annoying tho (well they all do sometimes, but Jeff most often). He's like their lame Dad.
  • Ksg89, on 01/03/2008, -8/+1Thats ALOT of viewers!
    • Ford_Prefect2nd, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1A lot.... its not alittle, so it's not alot.
  • Gonz037, on 01/03/2008, -2/+23What got me on board is being able to stream podcasts and the such to my TV instead of having to sit on my ass at the computer to watch it. I sit on my ass all day on the computer at work, I rather sit on my ass at night in front of the TV. . . Just sayin!
    • Trogdor420, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7I would have to agree. I just recently got a PS3 and a Sony Bravia television. I stream all of Revision 3's shows wirelessly to the PS3 using TVersity and watch them on my television. If you have a PS3 and haven't heard of TVersity, I suggest you check it out. Keep up the good work Rev3!!!
      • Gonz037, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2Yup, I use TVersity with my 360, it works great! Burninate on!
    • mediamaker, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3i connected my PC to my TV.
  • RaiderWolf, on 01/03/2008, -3/+3"A lot" of viewers even.
  • coit, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4Wow, didn't expect the Digg effect to strike so close to home....
  • danielrh9, on 01/03/2008, -5/+163Here's a goal for Rev3 in 2008. Hire Leo Laporte.
    • jayadelson, on 01/03/2008, -1/+80I love Leo. I wish he wanted to!
      • danielrh9, on 01/03/2008, -0/+10Jay, perhaps you guys could approach Leo with the prospect of doing a TWiT branded show on Rev3? You may have already for all I know, but I would assume that he would be more likely to go for it if it were co-branded. He's already set a precedent for it somewhat with Mac Break / Mac Break Weekly.
    • IndigoMoss, on 01/03/2008, -1/+9This is probably the only time I'm ever going to say this, but here goes. If I could digg you twice, I would.
    • DivisibleByZero, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3Leo's already got TWiT. As long as they don't start signing some kind of exclusive contracts preventing twit and rev3 people from appearing on each others' shows, I see no problem keeping them separate.

      Never watched any of Rev3's content, but need to start if Patrick Norton is moving over there.
    • LiquidFusion, on 01/03/2008, -0/+19Don't forget Robert Heron. He must be lonely out there on DL.TV.
    • NSMike, on 01/03/2008, -0/+10And if Leo doesn't want the TWiT network to merge with Rev3, bring on Gerstmann. If anything, it'll make some interesting news.
  • z3r0c0O1, on 01/03/2008, -5/+33Podcasts > TV
  • rabidmonkey1, on 01/03/2008, -7/+3I so want to go work for them, but sadly, I am finishing my last semester in NJ...
    • BoyWithBigHands, on 01/03/2008, -1/+9Yeah, that's the main reason they haven't hired you yet.

      Wait, who are you?
  • Deluzn, on 01/03/2008, -8/+1/clap and /cheer --- Prager's face should be put on that dancing baby. There's no real reason for doing that other than it would be hilarious to see.

    Go Digg Nation!
  • Kronos6948, on 01/03/2008, -3/+5Rev3 has helped me through these past few years of being cableless. That's right, my TV still has rabbit ears attached. If it wasn't for Rev3 and EZTV giving me fresh stuff all the time, I'd probably go stir crazy.
    Thanks, Rev3!
    • oxala75, on 01/04/2008, -0/+0right to that.
      EZTV, CNET, Rev3, YouTube: thank you.
  • fatcat, on 01/03/2008, -1/+38This is a record 2007 for Rev3, lets hope the next 2007 is twice as good.
  • DivisibleByZero, on 01/03/2008, -3/+4How long's Rev3 been around anyhow? Late 2006 or something? It's easy to have a sharp increase if you didn't exist the year before.

    (story is blocked at work, incase telling me to RTFA is appropriate)
    • ArmandoM, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7April 2005
      • fkr3, on 01/03/2008, -1/+1So the year they've just had which is slightly more than a third of their existance was their best ever. Bet nobody saw that coming.
  • diargasm, on 01/03/2008, -9/+2All there shows are pretty much tech-related content with the same hosts from TSS. They need to branch out or go out like Tech TV.
    • BoyWithBigHands, on 01/03/2008, -2/+8Yeah, I hate focused content.

      It was great when Tech TV stopped being Tech TV and started showing reruns of Cops instead. It was so hard to find that show before.

      As for The Screen Savers, who needs Leo and the crew when you can have AOTS televise Guitar Hero contests, followed by a rerun of Star Trek?
    • alterImperson, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Dude, branching out is a bad idea. Niche programming is where there is money to be made, not trying to appeal to every audience, but to a certain one will get you much more in the long run. Rev3 will likely always have tech-based content. If you want something else, like a sitcom or sports podcasting channel, make it your self, that's what the internet is here for.
  • ihaterobots, on 01/03/2008, -2/+2this is good news ... but does any of that translate to dollars? how much money (if any) did they really make after so much has been put into building/hiring? after all, if they aren't bringing in cash, it doesn't matter how many shows we download...
    • keithmcbride, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4yeah, those advertisements for Netflix are just out of the goodness of their hearts
  • stevejobs, on 01/03/2008, -1/+6Impressive number like these mean only one thing for us, more ads. Everyone remember adblockers for the new year.
    • SpongeBad, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2I can use adblockers in a podcast? Wow...Firefox really is powerful. I didn't even know I could get Firefox on my iPod.
  • lenninct, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1Nice i just started viewing their shows and they are interesting takes me back to the TSS time, if only leo laport had his own revision3 show....
  • brian1027, on 01/03/2008, -0/+9I want Infected back! Thats what brought me to Rev3 to begin with. Don't get ripped, by the Riptide!
    • Shakaz, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2web drifter is better, expose the true talent of the sarge.
  • superyounan1, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2aw cmon, DL.TV keeps taking hits and giving its talent to revision 3! Just take roger herron too and give them their own show there instead
  • fani, on 01/03/2008, -8/+1*yawn*
  • digger109, on 01/03/2008, -7/+2bah-humbug... show me THE MONEY. it is the internet boom 2.0 = # of eyeballs is everything. I think we have proven once that, this model did not work. 103 million clips worth of bandwidth is spent with not much advertising revenue to show for it. Goodbye Rev3. Nice was knowing you. Say hi to pets.com when you get to the internet heaven.
    • valkyries, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2they are still around, isnt that good enought?
  • flessa, on 01/03/2008, -1/+9Please Rev3! Don't sell out to the media conglomerates (comcast, timewarner). It's what happens when you take away their viewers, they'll want to buy you out and crush you. Stay strong and we will keep watching the excellent content!
  • AriaGloris, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1Go Go Rev3!
  • wush, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2Hire Robert Heron and give him his own show!
    • schroeder, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4Losing 2 co-hosts in a few months, he pretty much does.
  • dn11, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4but are you guys anywhere near becoming profitable yet? regardless - good work. Someone has got to make it work... eventually...
  • cappslite, on 01/03/2008, -0/+7Didn't they just officially start in 2007??
  • James_Dean, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1Rev3 should make a deal with TWiT to be their audio counterpart.
  • jordanf, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1Congratulations!!
  • justinjstark, on 01/04/2008, -2/+2Revision3 is a fantastic idea but where is the content? Ctrl alt chicken, Infected, thebroken, and InDigital all died. Webdrifter and some of the other shows are pretty lame. Notmtv seems okay but I'm not into the music they pimp. The remaining tech shows are pretty good but they could really use a few shows that aren't so geeky. They should bring back the chicken and diversify a little bit. Aren't ten shows about tech enough?
  • nshady, on 01/04/2008, -2/+13Bring back Ctrl+alt+chicken...pleeeeeeeease!
  • JordanM85, on 01/04/2008, -1/+4Now that you have nearly the whole Screen Savers cast working there. Get the show back together and air it live online.
  • DeepNarcosis, on 01/04/2008, -2/+2Anyone else find it amusing that Microsoft is one of Rev3's sponsors, but NOT Apple?
  • XaN3, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1rev 3 ;)
  • Felix57, on 01/04/2008, -1/+1hire yahtzee ASAP
  • jakv5, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1Crazy! Congrats guys!!
