A couple of weeks ago, we rolled out a new script that would send a tweet out every hour of all of the live shows on Talkshoe at that time. A couple of days ago, we upped the time for the script to run and now, instead of every hour, it runs every 30 minutes to accommodate shows that may start at the quarter after mark. This script has proven useful and so, we have taken this idea to the next level.

Today, we added a new script to http://www.talkshoesupport.com that will allow you to see the live shows at any given time (when you visit the page) and then you have the option to click a Tweet This Now button to send a tweet to your very own Twitter Account and tweet the live show and it’s details to your followers.

This script, like it’s automated buddy, will screen out live shows that are not streaming. The main difference here is, that the list will automatically update every time you visit or refresh the page. So, if a show begins streaming, a button will appear for that show automatically.

Both of these scripts are based on the Talkshoe and Twitter API codes and are not programmed or ran by Talkshoe. For this reason, they will not be put on the Talkshoe web site at this time.

If you have any questions about these scripts or maybe want them for your own use, please let me know and I will discuss this with you.

In an effort to help hosts to promote their live shows, a small beta program has been put into place starting tonight that will will automatically, every hour on the hour, tweet out what shows are Live at the time the program runs. Here’s how it works:

If your show is scheduled to start at the top of the hour, say 9:00pm EST, and you are on and connected and ready to do your show, the tweet program will, at 9:00pm EST, run and your show, along with anyone else that is running a live show then at that time, will have a tweet sent out to Twitter to a special account.

@TalkshoeLive has been setup for this purpose and it is also setup that when you follow this account, your Twitter account will automatically be followed as well! In this way, you will be able to be easily notified when the live shows are appearing on Talkshoe!

Now, if your show begins on the half hour, say 8:30pm EST, then when the program runs at the top of the hour, and you are still doing your show, your live show will be tweeted along with all the other live shows still running at that time! So, if you have an extremely long episode one night, you might get a little extra promotion going your way!

We have placed a special widget at http://www.talkshoesupport.com that will continually update with all of the live shows and again, give you some extra promotion for your shows.

Each tweet contains the name of show, the call in information and a clickable link to take anyone to your Talkshoe Show Page to join your show!

We will work to add to this program and maybe bring out some other useful programs to help you with your promotional needs. As we do, we will be sure to keep you informed!

As many of you already know, Myself and Bruce “Logan” Pringlemeir put out a Talkshoe Top Show List for Top Downloads and Top Live Callers every week. We have been limiting our lists to the Top 100 in each category (downloads and live callers) and will begin with the next list to be produced, to moving to the Top 250 Downloads and Top 250 Live Callers!

The Top 250 Downloads list will feature the top downloaded shows from a list of more than 3500 shows for that week. The Top 250 Live Callers list will feature the top shows with live callers (from both the phone and Talkshoe chat room) along with their respective number of Live Streamers (not figured into the live count). Remember, Live Streamers can come from a number of sources, including Facebook, the Dynamic Widget from your show page and other sources that can pickup your stream without the listeners actually calling into your show or using the Talkshoe chat room.

The Top Show lists are highlighted every week on Talkshoe Support LIVE! and on The New Media RoundTable.

You can pickup the updated Top Show Lists by visiting our Talkshoe Support Resource Site. The lists are updated every Sunday or Monday and a tweet is sent out through the @Talkshoe Twitter account as well as other Twitter accounts. Be sure to follow @Talkshoe, @Logansrunpod, @NewmediaRT, @TalkshoeSupport and @Robwhiteus to insure that you are kept up to date when the new lists arrive!

Want to see what the new format looks like? I thought you might:

For several months now, the Web Client has been giving some browsers as well as users issues of various kinds. With all of the reports of these issues, I have been doing my own testing of the Web Client and have found some interesting things that happen or can happen, depending on how you are using this chat client.

On February 8th, 2010, we will do a live testing of the Web Client and will demonstrate how this client interacts with certain browsers and we will use our Live Training Room during this episode to show anyone that is interested in viewing, just what my personal testing has revealed. The caveat here is, this testing is just that, personal. It is not official Talkshoe testing nor is it done with the express intent to have certain bugs ironed out. This demonstration will be just a demonstration and nothing more.

Here’s just a snippet of what I have discovered:

When using the Web Client with Google Chrome or Safari, you MUST be logged in using a Talkshoe user account and you must be using the latest version of these browsers, otherwise errors and issues will ensue and the Web Client will not allow for some functions, such as typing in the chat room!

So, for your fans of these aforementioned browsers, you can use the Web Client, but be sure to log in using your Talkshoe account and not as a guest!

Again, this in no guarantee that it will work for you, just because it works for me!

Here’s another caveat for using the Web Client. It DOES work for many Talkshoe users and works very well. There are others that for whatever reason, it does not work. The reasons could be as simple as spyware or adware, a virus or trojan, router ports blocked or any number of reasons. IF the Web Client will not work for you, try deleting your Cache and Temporary Internet Files from your browser, then close your browser and restart it again and see if the Web Client functions or not. This may sound like a work around, and for some it is. However, this little not real time consuming tip does work for many that are having issues running the Web Client!
