Truth be told I am a technology news junkie, especially when it is about microblogging. However, there are some activities that make it inconvenient to read the news regardless of characters constraints.

Luckily for me, technology podcasts can’t stop talking about Twitter. The latest podcast I have subscribed to is Net@Night with Amber MacAthur. The show is part of the TWiT network created by Leo Laporte (and is not to be confused with Twitter the microblog). On the show Amber and Leo discuss the latest news in the social web and feature a guest from a site Amber has been playing around with.

The first episode I listened to was an interview with Ming Yoew Ng, one of the founders of Mr. Tweet. On the show Ming gave a great interview fielding a number of questions about how Mr. Tweet works and some additional insight into how it defines influencers and works through subjective measurements. That episode was followed up with another great interview with Robert Scoble and centered around his thoughts on microblogging, how it is changing and how it is changing blogging. For the hat trick, the latest episode was released yesterday and Twitter hackers made the line up.

I cannot say that every episode of Net@Night is going to cover Twitter or some other microblog, but from the couple of episodes I have listened they are doing a great job of covering the latest events and services.

Net@Nite has earned a place in my playlist and I highly recommend giving it a listen when you cannot navigate over to Microblink. You can subcribe to Net@Night from iTunes or listen to any of the episodes on twit.tv/natn.

Side note: Evan Williams is the guest for episode 15.
