Today, The Instance cracked the overall top 100 audio podcasts in iTunes again. That’s so nice, and we feel very fortunate to have the best audience in the world!  Thank you so much for your support.

We’ve gotten several messages over the last day asking us how to follow along with our exploration of iTunes new Ping service. The answer simple: Scott is here, and Randy is here.  At this time, we’re trying out different privacy settings, so please don’t be surprised if one or both of us are not in the same state of privacy in the near future.

Did you know that we’re looking for interesting 5-star reviews from listeners in non-US iTunes stores?  Let’s take that to the next level, and give away some keys to the WoW:Cataclysm beta!!  On The Instance #202, we’re going to to give shoutouts to 5-star reviewers from stores outside the US store.  To win a beta key, send a screenshot of a fun or interesting 5-star review that you’ve seen recently in your non-US iTunes Instance page.  E-mail that screenshot to theinstance@gmail.com.  We’ll give a beta key to the submitters of the shots we refer to on The Instance #202.  You have about three days.

Have fun!
