Andy and Michael enjoy a non-controversial show, with Michael R not able to make the record. While podcasts enable you to build your own radio station, and only find things you agree with, both Michael and Andy agree that it makes you smarter (thank you new tagger rabiakiva). We also get to hear Andy laugh over mouse overs on the twategy site, and then we hear him gush over the wonderfulness of Twitter Lists. He loves it so much he’s created one list. (While editing the show, Michael R. does learn about Google Reader bundles, and agrees this is cool).

What’s Cool
Andy — Dr. Horrible Update
Michael R — It’s a man, made from gir-ders! / flame on!
Michael M — basketball season!

Michael, Michael, and Andy welcome special guest Kelly Drahzal, who doesn’t have a twitter weather station at home. Our 3D Internet section is all about augmented reality videos, ads and design. Michael R. is positive that we’ve seen the Mini Cooper ad before; however, our bad show notes don’t help him find the prior episode – perhaps our listeners can help. We once again dig into Twitter and it’s impact on current culture thanks to The Daily Show – with Jon Stewart. And then wrap up the show discussing the new Kindle and the new Kindle App for the iPhone, while Andy gripes about it’s availability in the UK. Has Amazon finally gotten the Kindle right by moving to multiple platforms?
