Dogear Nation » Podcast

Michael and Michael end up without our intrepid English co-host due to scheduling issues this week as we welcome new tagger bluebus to the show this week. We explore the astral world with Ghostwire, the Quantum World with Pigeons, and the old world with a Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone. At the same time we ask the important question – Do you Twitter to Facebook, or Facebook update your Tweets? Which one makes you smarter? Thanks for the great set of tags this week to: wideawarewesley, epredator, lx5, billsweeney1, heidigoseek, duckboxxer, bluebus, uncommonman, and lbenitz3000.

The guys once again enjoy an incredible selection of new listener tags, and while we can’t get to all of them this week, we want to say “Thank You! and Keep on Tagging!” Don’t forget to tell your friends and get them to tag and to follow us on iTunes or at the Blog over at http://dogearnation.com. With all the excitement this week around the “Device that should not be named”, we try and steer clear of it. Thanks to UnCommonMan we get to spend part of today’s show describing a great new visual search tool.

We also catch Michael R. a couple of times, not focusing on the show. We also have a long discussion on the Political value / situation of Twitter and the Iran Election, Andy doesn’t hold back his opinion on this one, don’t miss it.
