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 and Michael welcome our new “official” co-host – Andy Piper, and then end up having to move the recording time this week to way too late in the evening. So hopefully Andy will be joining us next week. This week’s show has a great set of listener tags. We look at the revival of Second Life (really??), new technology in Forterra, a new Virtual World in Australia, out of body experiences in Sweden, and a finish off our Obligatory 3D internet section with a really big beer! As we move over to the Social Networking section, Duckboxxer helps us see ads on Twitter, while Twitter turns down a rumored $500m deal from Facebook, we learn what we don’t know about language immersion from cynicalicious while Pownce gets pwned when they are purchased by Six Apart, and we resolve with the real value of the Re-Tweet. Our Mac-a-rooni section begins with Vista users begging Microsoft not to make Windows 7 easy to user over the expense of power and functionality, Kevinaires sends us a link to a cool iPhone holder, and Matt Goerning taking on Apple users and Steve Jobs.
