Apparently Revision3 has configured all of their show players to automatically start the show when it loads – it’s apparently something of a hot topic of discussion and it also effects anyone embedding Revision3 shows in their blogs like I do here at TechTV Forever.
So as soon as the page finishes loading, all of the Revision3 embedded players automatically play, loading up a cacophany of audio from a dozen shows, and playing Flash video that’s likely slowing your browser to a crawl.
There are apparently discussions to stop this, but they’re thinking about only applying it to registered users who log in to the Revision3 site and play the video from the show notes page – which again won’t affect bloggers who embed the video on their own sites.
Unfortunately, I’m leaning to simply removing the player from all posts about Revision3 shows, which I really hate to do, since I think the players add valuable content to the site and make it easier for you all to watch the video! However, I don’t want TTVF to be a site you don’t want to visit because it impacts the performance of your system. While we discuss, I’ll go back and cut out the offending Flash players.
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments!

It seems like only yesterday Morgan Webb started her daily tech news roundup, Webb Alert. But in reality, we were there when she started, and it’s been about a year and a half.
But after doing daily (well, mostly daily) news roundups for that long, Morgan Webb has decided to call it quits on WebbAlert – she’s just got too much going on in other areas professionally and personally, and she says she needs to free up some time for other pursuits. I don’t blame her! Even so, I know I’ll miss Webb Alert appearing every day in my podcast updates. Regardless, here’s wishing Morgan the best in everything she does.
