We would tell you where Michael M was this week, but given the tags this week on the lack of privacy in social media, we are sure you can find out yourself! We wonder whatever happened to Sony’s Playstation Home. We take some time and review the privacy settings of Facebook and other social media networks. And finally: has augmented reality finally gone mainstream with the iPhone? All this, and more of your tags, this week on Dogear-Nation.

Michael, Andy, and Michael welcome special guest Matt Simpson from Sweettt to talk about the segregation of adult content within Second Life. Michael M. would have talked more about the conference he was at last week, but then he would have had to kill us. Is shameless self promotion on Twitter OK? Is it OK for Amazon to remove books from your Kindle? Can you build a token economy within Social Networks? Is Best Buy being fair with their Web vs. in store pricing? Are luggage handlers, mis-handling your luggage? All these questions and more will be addressed this week on Dogear-Nation!

This week Andy and Michael R. welcome “TheRab!” AKA Ryan Boyles, IBM Project Zero’s community manager, to talk about the Enterprise 2.0 conference, his love of comics, and social networks. We keep getting many more tags then we can talk about, and we are glad to extend our “Cool Stuff We Had no Time For” section this week… you are all amazing! Michael M was doing what he does best (a speaking engagement, getting people excited about gaming and business), but he will be back next week.

We decided to balance out the show today in honor of the US celebration of the 4th of July. @WideAwakeWesley joins us on the show this week, helping us with a dose of non-Virtual World and non-Apple Fanboy credibility. Our topics include some great gaming mashups about Michael Jackson, some overly mashed-up cars with drunk driving in Grand Theft Auto, getting mashed and trapped into a platform based on ecosystem lock-in, great music mashups via Spotify (perfectly legal – just not available in the US) and getting your Twitter account mashed into a pulp via too many Tweets per hour. Happy Independence week to all our listeners!! Keep on tagging!
