Not really a big fan of the comment either, but the tag line for "Geeks Uncensored" says "We are Smart, Sexy and ♥ talking about Tech, Social Media, Trends, Gadgets and everything Geeky." So "Sexy" and "Uncensored" - seems like they're the ones who are already trying to stay just this side of explicit.

"...we decided to do this show as there's a lack of hot females talking about technology..." I'm assuming it's in jest?

in response to your response: I personally don't understand why people make a big deal out of it either way/don't really care about the comments and I agree with what you're saying. We're trying to bring some spice back into tech interviews--something that, at times, can be presented in a boring way.

We think tech is a hot topic and we don't have any issues with making our show playful, interesting and casual.

If you want to watch serious Q&A type stuff, go for it- you're not our demographic. There's plenty of awesome content like that across the internet.

Bring the spice back into tech interviews?

I guess I never knew it was there in the past, and had gone away. However, not to be too rude, but I will take my spice from spicier sources and stick to TED for my nerd fixes.

I guess I am saying that it's time to retool, ladies. I AM the closest thing to your demographic, and I don't really get it. Your comment about not caring about the comments rings a bit hollow if you are simultaneously slinking over here to purr about your show.

Anyway, best of luck, but I would advise getting really serious about your tech interviews and leave the casual stuff for after dark.

The "I dont care about comments" came from the original comment posted in this thread that was deleted.

I was clarifying that I understand that we're going to get obnoxious comments on us being girls and I'm okay with it, it comes with the territory.

Feedback on the show is welcome in general. That is why I'm posting. : )

Thanks for the feedback. And yes, TED is amazing!

Exactly.

true there are tons of hot successful women talking about technology, but most of them are LA based. We were talking about Silicon Valley.

I don't mean the lack of line, I mean the fact that you're seemingly focusing on that you're "hot successful women". Maybe I over estimate everyone, but I assumed the majority of people who'd be watching your show (and the interview with Jessica) would care about the contents and not you personally and that line was therefore meant as a tongue in cheek joke because the perceived idea is that the average tech viewer only cares about boobies.

I think the point ojbyrne is making is that your selling point is you're hot and are therefore inviting people to comment on that when really we should be commenting on the interview and therefore we're wrong to criticise those that do comment on your appearances etc because you're making that the focus.

We should interview you about Digg. Yeah? :)

Really though - just saw your blurb in your hn profile. We have some free interview slots in February.

It's been 3 years since I left Digg. Other than the occasional angry outburst here, I don't really have much to say about the mess that was made.
