Dogear Nation

This special live recording was made on June 29th, as part of a IBM Innovator’s club meeting. We gave the team a special behind the scenes look at how we started Dogear-Nation, how it has evolved, and how we record a show. As part of that meeting, we did an abbreviated version of the show (really only 15 minutes shorter than our target show length). We want to make a special shout out to all those who tagged links for this special show with the tag “innovators-club”.

We welcome back Sandy Kearney, who is now the volunteer president of a new organization E426 – The Innovation Corps for America. We have a great time catching up on all your tags… Speaking of Time, the Michaels got to spend some time this week talking with Chris Hazard of Hazardous Software and discuss the coolness of time travel. We also become Outovators (as opposed to Innovators), describing a bunch of potential ideas that people can use in the area of Time Travel. In that spirit we are aggressively leveraging our innovators – we stick them head first into a cranny!

A quick post to point out that there’s now a Dogear Nation listener’s group on Last.FM. The more folks that join, the more the group will adapt to our shared musical interests… so get “scrobbling” and let’s see what we come up with!

The guys once again enjoy an incredible selection of new listener tags, and while we can’t get to all of them this week, we want to say “Thank You! and Keep on Tagging!” Don’t forget to tell your friends and get them to tag and to follow us on iTunes or at the Blog over at http://dogearnation.com. With all the excitement this week around the “Device that should not be named”, we try and steer clear of it. Thanks to UnCommonMan we get to spend part of today’s show describing a great new visual search tool.

Visual Browsing

We also catch Michael R. a couple of times, not focusing on the show. We also have a long discussion on the Political value / situation of Twitter and the Iran Election, Andy doesn’t hold back his opinion on this one, don’t miss it.
