Michael and Michael do a special segment with David Gardner, CEO of The Venue Network, who talks to us about his new virtual worlds business platform Venuegen. The goal of this platform is to allow people to create quick and professional events, which provide the immersive nature of the 3-D internet for the masses. Beta access can be requested by all of listeners over at Venuegen. Come back to the blog here later this week for a video of the platform.

We then jump into a great set of listener tags that we can’t hope to get to all of them. Thanks for the tags! — (Lx5, epredator, wideawakewesley, gypsychk, heidigoseek, billsweeney1, uncommonman, duckboxxer, kevinaires)
