Andy and Michael M hold down the fort on a wide range of listener tags — starting (and arcing back at the end) with Google Buzz. Mobile Social Networking, Gamification of business (hmm… where have we heard that before?), and that innovation really takes place in the social area between corporations. Michael shares a couple of interesting visualizations and Andy gives some pointers to creating an out-of-the-box Boxee setup.

We’re holding off on a full MacWorld report pending Michael R’s return.
