It’s a very silly episode this week for some reason. No, not silly, Happy, Happy as a Clam. This phrase sets the tone of the show for some strange reason. Could it have been the rainy day in North Carolina infecting us all with crazy, silly? Or is it that international talk like a pirate day happening on Saturday? Who knows? All we know is we have a great set of tags this week from: wideawakewesley, epredator, kevinaires, rickmans, lbenitez300, heidigoseek, and bluebus. Enjoy the show!

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.

This week we welcome back Ian Hughes – AKA ePredator, to the show. While Andy is off winning awards in Las Vegas, the Michael’s try to herd a whole slew of listener tags (check out all the ones we missed). Our focus ends up exclusively in the 3D Internet and gaming area (your and our favorite), and we enjoy learning about a few new markets, tools and worlds. We also shed a tear for Duke Nukem’ 3D, which shut it’s doors this week.
