The 25th episode of Social Blend features special guest from Mixx, Will Kern.  Will gives us an insight into what it’s like working at Mixx, answers your questions, and talks about the future.

Will has also volunteered himself for the next Photoshop challenge – so stay tuned for details on this here at mixxingbowl.com…

We have an update from Paul Sanchez aka SoloRide on the road with his Social Monks project – and we also discuss the very sad news of the passing of Tim Russert.

In this edition, we also return to the case of former Marine, David Motari – the man shown in the Iraq video throwing a puppy off a cliff – we follow up the story with a discussion on the news that Motari has been expelled.

Due to time constraints, we zipped very quickly through our story selections this week, so check ‘em out in the show links below.  Our User Focus is Loup.Dargent this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

For our Stories of the Week, Reem discusses Twitter taking a stand against spammers, while Greg brings up two topics from the Pictures section of Mixx, one about Cricket and the other about Nudist Beaches.  Jay highlights the awesome firepower of a rubber bullet for us, and Kori brings us into the weird and wonderful world of ManBabies.  Later, Reem and Greg go at it about the news story of a 13 year old girl who hung herself after she “became emo”.

Social Blend goes live with the nineteenth episode in which we talk about the API feature for Mixx.  We also send a shout out to Jansie; and we continue to examine the holiness that is mighty Donut Eye Joe.

For our Stories of the Week, we get the audience to bring up the links for us.  We discuss the “suicide” of the DC madam, upcoming summer blockbuster flicks to check out, and current issues going on at Digg and in Social Media in general.

We also look at the irony that is Metallica’s backing on file sharing issues, Honest_Ape’s concept of Twittch, and go into deep discussion on Calinazaret’s “Best. Comment. EVAR.” made at Mixx.com.

Our User Focus is Katharinec this week – and as usual we jump into the Mixx Lounge.

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), Joe Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.Blogspot.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.

Following our first live show, the SB team head back to “the studio” to record the seventeenth episode, in which we discuss the future of Social Blend Live and what listeners can expect in weeks and months to come. We also discuss the recent Mixxcellany update / release of Mixx, as well as why Joe from Mixx should choose a new avatar.

For our Stories of the Week, Jay plays a segment of a humorous video about trolling from Popcrunch, while Reem highlights an article of interest from Copyblogger.com that was posted in the Social Blend group. Greg discusses the significance of GI Joe’s Scarlett (hot damn lord above), and also brings up Honest_Ape’s dream social network. Brian’s story of the week focuses on the controversial news of federal law enforcement seeking to collect DNA with every arrest.

We also discuss the issue of worker visas and immigration to the United States; while Jay lets the semantics of social media terminology grind his gears.

Our User Focus is Hdar3415 this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

We’re joined this week during the first ever live recording of Social Blend with special guest Andy Sorcini, aka MrBabyMan – popular Digger, host of The Drill Down, and co-host of The Round Up.    We discuss the recent upgrades made to Mixx in the last week, Muhammed Saleem’s article about Mixx, and YouTube finally adding Mixx to their sharing function.

For our Stories of the Week, Brian and Jay bring up the recent news of a social media driven physical attack by teenage girls on another girl – an issue that raised much controversy during discussion.  Andy brings up news of a new retreat being made for world leaders, while Reem highlights a Social Blend Group submission about using Twitter.  Greg follows up with a couple of photos.

Our User Focus is Pleeker this week – and as usual we talk of some Comments of the Week and jump into the Mixx Lounge.

And, of course, the highlight of this particular episode is the Star Wars throwdown.  Greg and Jay ask the questions, Reem answers, Andy keeps score, and Brian throws in some smart ass comments for good measure.  Who will win the throwdown?  Will Reem be forced to do the Princess Leia bun-hairstyle?  Or will Jay be photoshopped as Princess Leia.  Listen to the ‘cast to find out!
