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!
