That’s probably a very acceptable outcome! It’s been years since I followed Twit and similar video content, but it was a big part of my “nerd upbringing.”

- nailer 9y agoI know there's a show called This Week in Tech, but do people actually call it 'twit'?
- HenryBemis 9y agoYes, we do actually call it TWIT
- klausjensen 9y agoThey actually do, yes. Source: Listened to many Leo Laporte podcasts over the years, but stopped a couple of years ago, due to the noise/ads to content ratio.
- arethuza 9y agoI used to listen to TWiT but signed up for Audible based on their recommendation of the service and I stopped listening to podcasts and listen to audiobooks!
- iagooar 9y agoIt's like saying: I stopped reading newspaper, and read novels only now! Even though they share the same channel (text, audio, etc.), those are not replaceable things. Or at least that's my opinion.
- baddox 9y agoI’ve always referred to their entire network as TWiT. If memory serves me correctly, all their shows (not just This Week in Tech) used to begin with a bumper that said “Netcasts you love, from people you trust. This.....is TWiT.”
- SyneRyder 9y agoThey still do. Here it is at the start of this week's MacBreak Weekly episode (at 24 second mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFSJ2axjbW4&t=24s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFSJ2axjbW4&t=24s
- satysin 9y agoTWiT is the network as a whole. This Week in Tech is just one show (the original show?) on the TWiT network along with Windows Weekly, Security Now, etc.
- RamenJunkie_ 9y agoI've always called it TWIT. Which is also the name of the network, which has a bunch of other shows besides TWIT.
