Social Blend 31 Flavors including Cucumber: While we laugh, people are dying!

cGt2099 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:28:37 +0000

Social Blend 31 hits the web with some big announcements of some new features from Mixx! Kerry Parkins joins us as our special guest and runs through some of the new features being launched TODAY!

We also begin our new feature of COMMUNITY FOCUS, where each week we will take a look at a cool community at Mixx, and tell you why you should check it out. Meanwhile, Honest_Ape gives us his rendition of the new Ludacris song, while Greg takes a look at some of the photos of the week – and Kerry takes the chance to highlight a funny story over at the Mixx Engine Room.

Reem tells us off for laughing while people are dying! Later, we have a chat about the current status of The Dark Knight kicking ass at the box office.

As usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge
