Dogear Nation » Podcast

Michael and Michael do a special segment with David Gardner, CEO of The Venue Network, who talks to us about his new virtual worlds business platform Venuegen. The goal of this platform is to allow people to create quick and professional events, which provide the immersive nature of the 3-D internet for the masses. Beta access can be requested by all of listeners over at Venuegen. Come back to the blog here later this week for a video of the platform.

We then jump into a great set of listener tags that we can’t hope to get to all of them. Thanks for the tags! — (Lx5, epredator, wideawakewesley, gypsychk, heidigoseek, billsweeney1, uncommonman, duckboxxer, kevinaires)

We welcome back Sandy Kearney, who is now the volunteer president of a new organization E426 – The Innovation Corps for America. We have a great time catching up on all your tags… Speaking of Time, the Michaels got to spend some time this week talking with Chris Hazard of Hazardous Software and discuss the coolness of time travel. We also become Outovators (as opposed to Innovators), describing a bunch of potential ideas that people can use in the area of Time Travel. In that spirit we are aggressively leveraging our innovators – we stick them head first into a cranny!

Michael squared enjoy your tags this week, while Andy continues his twitter tour of the world. While we missed you Andy, not really, given all the tweets! We also find out that IBM has put out a public Dogear site for everyone to start their tagging! Do social networking people realize the power of social engineering — the Hackers do!! The big questions we wrestle with are – Can social networking be secure at work? Can you play games with fire in the kitchen? Is Second Life still relevant? All this and more, with your tags on this weeks show. Michael M. also needs to learn the difference between a Tweet and a Twit.
