I Accidentally a Social Blend… The whole 36… What do I do?
Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com), Brian Hill (Bdog2g2 from MixxingBowl.com), Reem Abeidoh (Nomadelle from ReemAbeidoh.com), and Joshua Olson (Honest_Ape from HonestApe.net)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.
Blogger and social media enthusiast Jason Falls joins us as special guest for the 36th episode of Social Blend. This week, we kick off things with a discussion about some of the changes and updates made to story UI at Mixx, and take a look at the substantial growth Mixx has been experiencing over the last few months.
We also discuss a couple of memes beginning to surface online – one being promoted by 4chan /b/tards (I accidentally a…) , and another they are trying to stop (Why so exploitable?/Why NOT So Serious?).
Jay’s video of the week involves midgets and killer Muay Thai boxing. Surprised? Neither were we. Jason Falls talks about a Cracked submission about wanting to see Sarah Palin naked (who doesn’t, right?) and Reem brings up the story of a police officer asking a store for porn – three times! Greg also discusses some image submissions: one being a Cyanide and Happiness strip; and the other being Sci-Fi style sculptures made out of old typewriters.
We also take a look at the launch of Google Chrome – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our User Focus is Homestar14 this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.
