Matt, fresh back from holiday, does the honors and counts down to start the show with Michael M. Mixing such weighty subjects as the singularity, the concept of reputation capital and the morality of software with the lowbrow humor of pirates (arrgh!) and how to become part of the New Media elite, the co-hosts bring you a wide range of topics in just 29 minutes.

Summertime slowdown, appropriate place on the Gartner hype cycle or a real move out of the virtual worlds? You be the judge as Michael M, Matt and Steven discuss a couple of recent articles that observe that there is a real/perceived slowdown in 3D Internet virtual worlds traffic. These hoopy froods continue the episode recorded on 3 Aug with an ecologically friendly print solution and a roundup of old and new filesharing services.

Michael, Matt and Steven discuss social networking capabilities by using Twitter, BlueTwit and other examples of (near-)instant communications, challenges of virtual currency and VoIP, as well as the increasing focus on games and gaming for learning and leadership development.

Michael R was presenting at Columbia University this week and despite advances in virtual worlds still could not be in two places at the same time.

Steven puts out an appeal for reputable roofing help for his home in Seattle.
