Michael and Michael are sitting in the scary room of windows (see here on the Kyte Scream!) while recording this special Halloween edition of Dogear-Nation. After a scary look at some new takes on games – Thumb Wars and Mercenaries 2, we get into the Army’s fear of Twitter and other social networking tools. Sometimes change is scary, even when it allows your to interact with your customers, employees, and business partners. Thank you to everyone out there, who have been able to keep the tags going. We also thank all our Swag purchasers.

Enjoyed the podcast! I didn’t quite connect with “spooky designs” as the category for the link to my “Enterprise 2.0 is all about culture” blog. But I can tell you that a fair amount of BAU types within my company were quite spooked indeed by the idea that we would try to “open source” product documentation into enterprise facing wikis. That is a deliciously disruptive idea, isn’t it?

One more thing guys – finding the link to actually listen to the podcast was a bit challenging. Visually, I’m not expecting the “play now” link to be sooo tiny hard to find at the end of the blog post. How about a big graphical link up in the header area of the blog that says “Listen now”?

Chris, thanks for your comments. I hid the player as it “gets in the way” for iPhone viewers of the site and it can’t be resized. I’ll see what I can do to add something to the blog header or sidebar though, good thinking.

Chris, as Andy says, thank you for posting. We continually are looking at ways to improve the website.
