SB-XIV: Honest Ape Reel
Tags: Features, Mixx, 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 Reem Abeidoh (Nomadelle from ReemAbeidoh.com), the Social Blend examines the latest news and opinions hitting the world of social media. The main focus is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field.
We’re joined this week by Joshua aka Honest_Ape, who sits in for Brian. We follow up on the recent Mixx challenge, discuss a little more about the Breaking News feature, and highlight latest Greasemonkey script made by MikeonTV for Mixx and The Mixxing Bowl.
We also take a look at Google’s odd TOS, some great photos, and we RickRoll Brian via cell phone while recording. Honest_Ape brings up a sad and tragic news story he had posted, and Jay discusses a recent submission by Syxle that focused on gang members in the US Military.
Our User Focus is Yoda this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

Great job . . . Greg. It’s so realistic, I almost felt like I was there. Like, while it was being recorded! How amazing is that?

Seriously, that was a good show! I loved Greg and Joshua’s music rant about Rat. I’ve been waiting for someone to make that comment for a while.
