What is the purpose of this channel? Seems to be more of a #twitlisteners channel than a #twit channel.

Let me elaborate; I know we need a channel for the user community around the TWiT network, but I feel this is not it. Notifications like "WW 31 live in 15 minutes" or "Another FLOSS... is in the can" are invaluable, as are comments like "Dvorak rocks" & "FLOSS was awesome"; but they're getting lost in the noise that is everything else.
I'm not saying the other posts are rubbish or spam, they most certainly are not; but perhaps it'd be better if these were moved to another channel like #twitlisteners, leaving this channel for posts only related to the shows, their content & TWiT network.
I see what you mean, although I think the better solution would be an architectural one for Jaiku as a whole.
Namely, we should be able to tag our Jaiku updates and channel posts. Then, it should be possible to filter on those tags. So you could go to #twit and click a little toggle to see the "shows" posts, or only posts from Leo, etc.
Similarly, I could lump my feeds into a "blogs" tag (or something) that my friends could filter for or filter out, as suits them. That would be better than having to opt-out of individual feeds for each individual user.
Interesting idea, I wouldn't mind the ability to tag my Jaiku posts, both for retrieval and filtering purposes.
Here's another thought though; a channel is similar to a forum, a microforum of sorts. Most forums have sub-forums for specific topics. Taking this further, perhaps Jaiku could introduce a sub-channel concept. Users can either subscribe to the channel (and thus get notifications for posts in all sub-channels of that channel) or they could just subscribe to the sub-channel(s) they're interested in.
And here I am, going on about something not really related to the shows, their content or the TWiT network... ;)
I see this as a channel for the twit community to talk about whatever is of interest to us. Obviously the fact that we are all on this channel implies that we have an interest in Technology, but just like any community I expect the conversation will stray to other topics from time to time
I don't see it as a twit.tv announcement channel. If you want that follow Leo directly.

That's just my opinion, anyway.
