People complain that the end of TechTV was a sad thing that happened and that it should be brought back. Nonsense, the internet owes it to the collapse of TechTV for the development of the web in the forms of podcasting and social networking. Digg, Pownce, Revision3, WebbAlert, Undo.TV and TWiT.tv are all spawned out of the death of TechTV, without these the internet would not be the same. If we want to go deeper, even their competitors would not exist. With this paradox I leave you with an image of the spawns of TechTV.

Thanks All, Keep up the GREAT Work!
