All three of our hosts this week got hooked on the video from The Guild – “Do you want to Date my Avatar” after a great – quick hit post from our good friend epredator over at Feeding Edge… Thanks Ian for making the week a lot more fun. We continue to look for your feedback on making your show better… remember we are podcasting your tags. We appreciate all the tags we get each week, and the feedback that we receive via Twitter, emails, and the site. Spend some time this week telling your friends about us, and take some time to comment about the show, either on the site or on our iTunes feed.

As we continue to look at the convergence of our digital and physical worlds, this week’s tag from gypsychk is talking about videos in printed magazines, you have to see this to believe it… here!

Uncommonman shows us that First Person Shooters (FPSs) work in the real world too! And Michael R’s rant – fizzles quickly when Andy points out — The Rest of the Story!
