Social Blend I9: TMI My Face Is Numb
Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), Jay 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 of the show is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field.
Social Blend goes live with the nineteenth episode in which we talk about the API feature for Mixx. We also send a shout out to Jansie; and we continue to examine the holiness that is mighty Donut Eye Joe.
For our Stories of the Week, we get the audience to bring up the links for us. We discuss the “suicide” of the DC madam, upcoming summer blockbuster flicks to check out, and current issues going on at Digg and in Social Media in general.
We also look at the irony that is Metallica’s backing on file sharing issues, Honest_Ape’s concept of Twittch, and go into deep discussion on Calinazaret’s “Best. Comment. EVAR.” made at Mixx.com.
Our User Focus is Katharinec this week – and as usual we jump into the Mixx Lounge.
