Dogear Nation » Podcast

At full strength this week, we have a very full show, with Facebook, Avatars United, UFOs, Apple TV, and Followers for sale.

Michael and Michael welcome back Effie Seiberg to the show this week. Given that the election is finally over, we’ve decided to take a look at the use of technology from the campaigns, websites, and the news networks. Social networks, Holograms, Maps, Location Based Services, Mashups, and iPhone Apps are all on the agenda. We even show you how to make your own Hologram! We also thank Andy for doing a quick 12Seconds video of the arrival of his Dogear Nation Swag!
