Dogear Nation » Podcast

Michael, Andy, and Michael welcome special guest Matt Simpson from Sweettt to talk about the segregation of adult content within Second Life. Michael M. would have talked more about the conference he was at last week, but then he would have had to kill us. Is shameless self promotion on Twitter OK? Is it OK for Amazon to remove books from your Kindle? Can you build a token economy within Social Networks? Is Best Buy being fair with their Web vs. in store pricing? Are luggage handlers, mis-handling your luggage? All these questions and more will be addressed this week on Dogear-Nation!
