While we change a bit of the show behind the scenes, we continue to have a great set of listener tags this week.  We have American Express getting into virtual goods, we get into recursion with 3D printers that can replicate themselves (almost), we talk about ludicrous legal precedent with the word Face ™, and we think about the upcoming release of the movie TRON.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

What’s cool?
Andy — A World of Tweets (also via Mikael Haglund)… heatmapping global tweets
Michael R — President Bill Clinton at  Greensboro Coliseum
Michael M –AmEx points for virtual goods via @rickmans tweet

Final thoughts

All three of our hosts this week got hooked on the video from The Guild“Do you want to Date my Avatar” after a great – quick hit post from our good friend epredator over at Feeding Edge… Thanks Ian for making the week a lot more fun. We continue to look for your feedback on making your show better… remember we are podcasting your tags. We appreciate all the tags we get each week, and the feedback that we receive via Twitter, emails, and the site. Spend some time this week telling your friends about us, and take some time to comment about the show, either on the site or on our iTunes feed.

As we continue to look at the convergence of our digital and physical worlds, this week’s tag from gypsychk is talking about videos in printed magazines, you have to see this to believe it… here!

Uncommonman shows us that First Person Shooters (FPSs) work in the real world too! And Michael R’s rant – fizzles quickly when Andy points out — The Rest of the Story!
