Dogear Nation » Podcast

We would tell you where Michael M was this week, but given the tags this week on the lack of privacy in social media, we are sure you can find out yourself! We wonder whatever happened to Sony’s Playstation Home. We take some time and review the privacy settings of Facebook and other social media networks. And finally: has augmented reality finally gone mainstream with the iPhone? All this, and more of your tags, this week on Dogear-Nation.

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.
