This week on GeekCast, Jim Kukral, Lisa Picarille, and Shawn Collins kicked things off, while Sam Harrelson was tardy as he set up a connection via EVDO in his Geekmobile.

Dina Lohan, Sam Harrelson and Lindsey LohanThe chatter opened with talk on Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com founder & CEO, responding to the last GeekCast and discussions of Overstock kicking out New York affiliates from their affiliate program.

Shawn talked about his new Creative Vado, a clone of the Flip camera that is thinner and lighter.

The whole crowd expressed frustration that Twitter is continually down entirely or key features are not working.

Plus, is there any money in Web 2.0?

Finally, some riveting talk about the new “reality show,” Living Lohan and managing reputation online.

The show runs a compact 50 minutes or so.

Blast the Vado & Flip both – my Aiptek has more than just video features, has a lithium battery with USB charger. It also has Jim's killer app feature of the flip out screen that you can turn around (love that myself!) and you can put an SD card into it for however long worth of recording you want.

And it's HD… it will rule you! lol.

Also… Trackur pwns… it's a great product and I love it. Way more thorough than Google alerts.

Aiptek is cool if you have a duffel bag to carry it in. This Vado is so small that it's practically invisible.

It's also a rechargeable battery via USB.

The Aiptek is small… I can carry it in my pocket w/ no problem. And it does have a rechargable batter via USB… that's what “lithium battery with USB charger” means, Shawn ;)

I was saying the Vado has a rechargeable battery, since you touted that a a feature of your big handicam. :-P
