Social Blend Dirty Dozen: Super Kerry Speaks!
Tags: Features, Kerry, Mixx
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.
We’re proud to announce a brand new Mixx Challenge – and our objective is FriendFeed.com. Hit them up at feedback@friendfeed.com and tell them you want Mixx to be added to their service! And while you’re there, sign up for what they’ve got running too!
This week, it was an absolute honor, to be joined with Super Kerry Parkins from Mixx. She was totally awesome and answered all the questions Mixxers had, and even more – during the podcast she gives us a preview of things to come from Mixx, and there is a lot to be excited about!
We also talk about recent Mixx news with her, including SXSW, The New York Times, Mixx Messaging updates, and much more. In the world of social media, we discuss the unveiling of “Kristen” via the Internet, Delicious dropping the dots, and StumbleUpon using CAPTCHA.
Our stories for the week included Disconnection Anxiety, Pi Day, Lucchina’s Through a Baby’s Eye video, some interesting photos found at Mixx, and a great Lesbiatopia article about the Secret Lesbian Viking Enclave! Oh, and by the way, feel free to check out Jay’s new group: “Pirates! Ninjas! Jedi! Unite!!!”
Our User Focus is EVILmonkey this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week (*cough, cough* Honest_Ape) and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

Just emailed them. It would be great to have Mixx at FriendFeed. With all of the stuff that they do have I didnt event notice you were missing. Guess I will be adding another account soon…
And, to think, I finally finished setting up my new account…

I can’t help myself. I do it every time we record. I will send Greg or Brian something to try and get them to lose composure. I just left the clip in this time.

Nice show, thanks Kerry for joining.
Oh about Q-Link (Was it Greg who mentioned it?) I didn’t know what it is, so I googled it. And apparently some hobbyists reverse engineered the damn thing and we have a 21st century of it, so if you feel kinda nostalgic you might wanna check it out

@jay oh man! Yuck. You are singularly unique in your ability to find crazy shit on the internet.

@Julie, actually blame Mark Carras for that. I think I found it on one of his Friday Fest posts.
