Social Blend 08 – The Ocho: Rick Rolled to Hell
Tags: Features, rick rolled, Social Blend
Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), Joe Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.Blogspot.com), Brian Hill (Bdog2g2 from MixxingBowl.com), and Tamar Weinberg (Tamar from Techipedia.com), the Social Blend examines the latest news and opinions hitting the world of social media. The show’s main focus is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field. This week’s episode is co-hosted by special guest Reem Abeidoh (r_abeidoh from ReemAbeidoh.com). We take a look at the recent risings of Rick Rolls and McRolls on Mixx.com; and the unforeseen outcome of Imposter Jay…
We find out what Steven Hawking has to do with Lego, and we also take a look at KrazyKorean’s top 10 geek gifts for Valentine’s Day. Joe enlightens us about the joy of watching Asian Girls beating the hell out of a Yuppie, and then he and Greg totally geek out over the Indiana Jones trailer, and the recent Star Wars movie news.
Reem brings up the recent news of Yahoo Buzz, and the reactions from people into social media. Brian’s story of the week is the launch of HeyMonkeyBrain.com.
The user focus this week is on Syxle, who recently hit the 10,000 Karma mark – and AlbionShores yet again scores the place for comments of the week.

It’s come to my attention that we inadvertently had left out the audio clip where we talk about Syxle being the user focus of the week. We’re recording the next episode tonight; so we’ll have two user focuses for episode nine.

Another negative side or tinyurl most of you probably don’t know about is that it’s blocked in some middle east countries (I would suspect china also) because it could be used to circumvent censorship….same for squidoo also!

You’ve got a very good point with that as well.
Also, thanks for listening to the show as much as you do.
