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.

Visual Browsing

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.

This week we welcome back Ian Hughes – AKA ePredator, to the show. While Andy is off winning awards in Las Vegas, the Michael’s try to herd a whole slew of listener tags (check out all the ones we missed). Our focus ends up exclusively in the 3D Internet and gaming area (your and our favorite), and we enjoy learning about a few new markets, tools and worlds. We also shed a tear for Duke Nukem’ 3D, which shut it’s doors this week.
