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.

As our American friends make their way to chow down on some fine turkey and celebrate Thanksgiving, we unleash the 46th edition of Social Blend… yes, this one has a STRANGE title – but all is explained in this podcast.

This week, Reem returns to Social Blend, and has to tolerate Greg and Jay bitching about how lame and how much fail TWILIGHT is as literature and as a film.  We also remind you all that you can VOTE FOR MIXX in the 2nd Annual Open Web Awards over at Mashable…  You can vote ONCE PER DAY – so make it count and get behind Mixx!

We take a look at all the new implemented changes at Mixx.com and discuss a wide range of opinions and feedback from Mixxers – both the positive and the negative.  Our Community Focus this week is Jay’s BEER community.

Reem’s story of the week focuses on the economy and real estate – and what the current state of affairs is in the financial crisis.  Jay takes a look at a bunch of turkeys being slaughtered – interestingly enough, this video doubles as an interview with Sarah Palin.  Just go see it.  It’s priceless.

Greg takes a look at the current and contemporary concerns of dyslexic Christians; and then has a look at some Apple apples that are not made by Apple.  Our user focus is Leonards, and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

We jump into the 45th edition of Social Blend, and are joined by a very special guest: the wonderful and beautiful Arianrhod – all the way from England!

We kick off the episode with a bit of follow-up talk on the Obama presidency, and how things have progressed with Change.gov since the election victory.  In Mixx news, we remind you about Mashable’s 2nd Annual Open Web Awards, which will have opened for OFFICIAL VOTING by the time of this post.  Meanwhile, the mystery of the Mixx Scrum has been revealed!  Also, we pay a short tribute to Flight of the Conchords.

Our Community Focus this week is Listen-To-Music, and we also take a look in the Social Blend and Beyond Legend communities as well.  Jay unleashes Dumbledore’s most important memory, while Arianrhod takes a look at the serious issues and debate surrounding the recent protests in the US following the controversial Prop 8 vote.

Greg pays tribute to Donut Eye Joe, and then takes a look at what the movie 300 would have been like if made with Lego!  Our user focus is VioletPlanet, and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

The main focus of the show is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field. We jump into the 45th edition of Social Blend, and are joined by a very special guest: the wonderful and beautiful Arianrhod ndash; all the way from England! We kick off the episode with a bit of follow-up talk on the Obama presidency, and how things have progressed with Change.gov since the election victory.nbsp; In Mixx news, we remind you about Mashablersquo;s 2nd Annual Open Web Awards, which will have opened for OFFICIAL VOTING by the time of this post.nbsp; Meanwhile, the mystery of the Mixx Scrum has been revealed!nbsp; Also, we pay a short tribute to Flight of the Conchords. Our Community Focus this week is Listen-To-Music, and we also take a look in the Social Blend and Beyond Legend communities as well.nbsp; Jay unleashes Dumbledorersquo;s most important memory, while Arianrhod takes a look at the serious issues and debate surrounding the recent protests in the US following the controversial Prop 8 vote. Greg pays tribute to Donut Eye Joe, and then takes a look at what the movie 300 would have been like if made with Lego!nbsp; Our user focus is VioletPlanet, and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

The main focus of the show is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field.

We continue the testosterone infused sausage fest with the 43rd edition of Social Blend, with Bdog2g2 joining Greg and Jay to cause trouble!  During this episode, we all talk a lot of random shit, because we couldn’t be bothered following the show notes.  This is what happens when Reem isn’t around to keep us in line.

We talk a little politics with the recent SNL coverage of the election campaigns, and then dive into discussion of the Freddy Krueger prequel, in which Billy Bob Thornton plays the claw man himself.  The discussion evolves into Hollywood and their current obsession over reboots – and we look into some related movie prospects including The Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Returns, Supermax, and Ghostbusters.

As we progress through our rants, we all begin to exhume the bile left over from some recent trolling on our favorite site, along with our thoughts on the justifiable and righteous consequences issued upon the individuals in question.  This also leads to a bit of talk about Mixx’s Time Out, as well as the recent Digg bannings.

Our community focus for the week, fitting due to Halloween, is Horror in the Mixx, and two of our stories of the week are The End of America selected by Greg, and how smelly farts can reduce your blood pressure, as selected by Brian.

Our user focus for this week is Jdow – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

For our stories of the week, we discuss the recent controversies at Digg with Andy – we cover the banning of Mark Cuban all the way through to Digg’s “Blind-Digg-Fix”. Jay brings up the miraculous Antikythera Mechanism for his story of the week, while Greg takes a glance at the most alien looking place at Earth, then screams, “Fuck you, I’m an ant eater!”

Andy discusses the new Microsoft commercials featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.  Keith highlights why you should be careful when asking for help on the internet, and discusses recent GOP controversies with the Lose your house, Lose your vote story.

Finally, Greg gets to celebrate for receiving his new Metallica CD seeing as the Large Hadron Collider did not pwn the world!  Our User Focus is Dan360Man this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

The main focus of the show is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field.

The latest edition of Social Blend sees us joined by special Mark Dykeman from Broadcasting-Brain.com – and also welcomes Joshua aka Honest_Ape as one of our regular commentators and co-hosts.  Josh will be joining us on future episodes when he is available, so there’s much to look forward to!

We begin the episode with a quick interview with Paul Sanchez aka Soloride as he tells us the progress of Social Monks, where the project is now headed, and what happened to Tim Part.

Following the interview, we discuss the issues of “spam” at Mixx – in which Greg declares war on the spammers and calls on Mixxers to help.  Meanwhile, Honest_Ape gives Greg shit about the use of the phrase “DILLIGAF”.

The discussion then moves onto a discussion of The Dark Knight – one of the most breathtaking blockbusters to hit cinemas in years.  For our stories of the week, Jay and Mark discuss the new trailers for Terminator Salvation and Watchmen.  Jay also highlights a humorous Star Wars parody video called The Fate of the Duel.

Reem puts Greg on the spot in a discussion of his inflammatory and controversial article called Social Media is a Myth.  Joshua highlights two great stories at Mixx: the rise of Dr. Horrible (thanks to the mind of Joss Whedon), and the news that Netflix services may be coming to Xbox 360!  Greg points to two photo stories – one of an Ancient Egyptian statue that looks very much like Wacko Jacko, and a surfer who gets a tad too close to some lava!

The main focus of the show is on Mixx.com, yet focuses on other sites and contenders in the social media field.

The latest edition of Social Blend sees us joined by special guest Danielle Brigida from the National Wildlife Federation, who talks to us about how effective it has been in reaching out to people via social media.  She also tells us about the new NWF Mixx Community – which you should seriously check out.

This week also sees Brian aka Bdog rejoining us for an episode, while Reem takes off for the weekend.  We discuss the launch of Mixx Communities, Jay highlights a video submitted by Reem called “The Website is Down”, and Brian talks about how one suicidal man caused 11 deaths and a train derailment.  Danielle’s story choice for this episode was Florida buying the missing link of the Everglades for $1.7 billion; while Greg goes on a rant about how the Photos section at Mixx should be used.

In this episode we also pay tribute to the great George Carlin, and have a quick look at some MySpace Douchebaggery.  Our User Focus is Tunisian Guy this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.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. The latest edition of Social Blend sees us joined by special guest Danielle Brigida from the National Wildlife Federation, who talks to us about how effective it has been in reaching out to people via social media.nbsp; She also tells us about the new NWF Mixx Community ndash; which you should seriously check out. This week also sees Brian aka Bdog rejoining us for an episode, while Reem takes off for the weekend.nbsp; We discuss the launch of Mixx Communities, Jay highlights a video submitted by Reem called ldquo;The Website is Downrdquo;, and Brian talks about how one suicidal man caused 11 deaths and a train derailment.nbsp; Daniellersquo;s story choice for this episode was Florida buying the missing link of the Everglades for $1.7 billion; while Greg goes on a rant about how the Photos section at Mixx should be used. In this episode we also pay tribute to the great George Carlin, and have a quick look at some MySpace Douchebaggery.nbsp; Our User Focus is Tunisian Guy this week ndash; and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge. #160; Social Blend and Mixx News Introducing Mixx Communities http://www.mixx.com/stories/466452/new_mixx_communities Mixx gets serious about Community Building http://www.mixx.com/stories/463613/mixx_gets_serious_about_community_building Mixx wants you to build a community http://www.mixx.com/stories/480036/mixx_wants_you_to_build_a_community National Wildlife Federation Official Site http://www.nwf.org/ Mixx NWF Community http://nwf.mixx.com/ Stories of the Week Florida to buy lsquo;missing linkrsquo; of Everglades for $1.7 billion http://www.mixx.com/stories/460722/florida_to_buy_missing_link_of_everglades_for_1_7_billion The Website is down http://www.mixx.com/videos/504863/the_website_is_down_video Man found guilty of murder in train derailment deaths http://www.mixx.com/stories/519039/man_found_guilty_of_murder_in_train_derailment_deaths Social Monks http://www.mixx.com/stories/383329/social_monks George Carlin: A YouTube Obituary http://www.mixx.com/stories/453702/george_carlin_a_youtube_obituary Award winning comedian George Carlin dies http://www.mixx.com/stories/450872/award_winning_comedian_george_carlin_dies George Carlin on Death ndash; RIP http://www.mixx.com/videos/460493/george_carlin_on_death_rip Seven Dirty Words http://www.mixx.com/videos/450365/seven_dirty_words George Carlin ndash; The Things That Bring Us Together http://www.mixx.com/videos/450961/george_carlin_the_things_that_bring_us_together George Carlin ndash; Life is worth Losing http://www.mixx.com/videos/450419/george_carlin_life_is_worth_losing MySpace Douchebaggery http://www.mixx.com/stories/431744/myspace_douchebaggery User Focus TunisianGuy http://www.mixx.com/users/tunisianguy Comment of the Week PaulaB http://www.mixx.com/stories/451706/nevada_brothels_hit_hard_by_gas_prices The Mixx Lounge http://www.mixx.com/lounge The Social Blend Mixx Group Post stories yoursquo;d love to see discussed on Social Blend.nbsp; Reem chooses a new article with each new episode http://www.mixx.com/groups/socialblend Gregrsquo;s Mail Sack Send your hate mail to: socialblend@gmail.com Or cGt2099@sbcglobal.net Music Credits Music by Corey Hodgetts / West of October http://www.myspace.com/coreyhodgetts http://www.myspace.com/westofoctoberband Social,Blend bhill78@gmail.com no No
