The Best of Social Blend 2008

During the year 2008, SOCIAL BLEND was 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), Tamar Weinberg (Tamar from Techipedia.com) and Joshua Olson (Honest_Ape from HonestApe.net). The podcast 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.
DILLIGAF, everyone! What you’re about to listen to is a collection of some of the great moments we’ve had through the year when recording Social Blend. There’s some serious stuff, but most of it is the stuff that made us soil ourselves with laughter.
We’d like to thank all our guests who’ve been on the show this year; and especially would like to thank the crew behind the scenes of Mixx.com for their support of the “unofficially mixxed” podcast.
More importantly, we want to thank YOU guys, the listeners – for sticking with us and for putting up with our shit. We seriously appreciate it, and we look forward to recording for you all in 2009.
So here’s the Best of Social Blend in 2008. Enjoy; and stick around at the end of the podcast for a preview of the new intro theme we’ll be using in 2009. It’s a ballbuster. Rock on, and get into it.
Who was on Social Blend this year?
