Dogear Nation » Podcast

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.

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.

Michael and Michael have fun catching up after a week off for recharging. Unfortunately our special guest Phaedra Boinodiris got caught up in her day job and couldn’t join us, but her tag on Hacking the Olympics sparked a great discussion on information hacking. Speaking of hacking, we review how Mobility hacks up your personal life, no way to get away from work. Duckboxxer and Andy Piper provide some great tags on Twitter. We also talk about the perils of location based services. We bring back a brief discussion on the 3D Internet, looking at where has all the hype gone. And end the show in honor of all those parents and students dealing with back to school.
