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).

Andy, Michael, and Michael enjoy an all-listener tag show… well, almost, we have to talk about Andy’s gloves again. Questions that could be answered in this show – Do you really need a netbook? Can Lenovo sell more PCs thanks to Virtual Worlds? What stage of Twitter acceptance are you at? What is your Claimr? And Twitter scoops the mainstream media – again.
