Dogear Nation » Podcast

Andy, Michael and Michael focus this week’s show on Games, Electronic Cars, and Twitter… Will this Twitter fascination never end? We also do a bit of Kindle 2 Analysis and luckily miss most of the ratholes that are swirling around us. A big shout out to @comcipher who won a guest appearance on Dogear-Nation during last week’s RalTwestival.
