Your other shows don't crash, but this one does. Elluminate almost loads, but crashes at the end. I use Mac OSX 10.5.6.

Hi Peter! Thanks for leaving us a comment and giving us feedback about the show recordings. I double checked the link and it appears to be working. I viewed the entire session and it didn't crash while I was watching it. I encourage you to try the link again and see if you have continued problems. Feel free to email me directly at kcaise@gmail.com and I can try to assist you via email if you still have difficulty viewing the entire recorded session. Please let me know if you are successful in viewing the entire recording without crashing on you.

Thanks,
Kim Caise

Hi Peter.
if the link is still not working, try clearing the cache, close your browser and try again. I am using the same OS and the link is active. The file opens but goes to a page that asks you to test your configuration. Please select step 2. I have found that I can't use Safari but Firefox works fine. Hope that is helpful. Rodd's presentation is available on slideshare http://www.slideshare.net/thecleversheep/why-is-the-fail-whale-smiling

I still think Twitter is not something I am giving much attention to at this time. I see how it is helpful in business'.... I learned a bit more about what it is.
