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.

The 48th episode of Social Blend features special guest Muhammad Saleem, and we dive into a discussion about Mixx that sees Greg challenge a fellow Mixxer to a debate on the podcast.  Greg then gets excited with Jay about recent news about the Boondock Saints sequel.

We all discuss the big news about the closing down of Pownce, which leads into a long discussion with Mu about Digg.com – and where the site (as a company and innovator) currently stands, and what could be in store for the future.

Reem gives us dating tips provided to her by a 9 year old, while Jay talks about why he likes Bohemian Rhapsody so much.  Our community focus this week is KISS Fans, and our user focus is Smelfactor.

We also take a look at the Mixx Lounge, and our band of the week is Allegiance.
