SPOS #167 – Media Hacks #15

Welcome to episode #167 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #15 of Media Hacks. As usual, there is some language, so please keep in mind that this Podcast is not work safe. Many major happenings in both the technology, communications and Social Media space. We discuss everything from the unconference movement to Bloggers who take themselves (and their community) maybe a little too seriously. We also chat about Twitter (of course) where Hugh explains why it is more like talking than a media channel (or something) and some Googley stuff. Enjoy the conversation…

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast – Episode #167 – Host: Mitch Joel.

People and the unconference movement.
Mass media still gets all excited, doesn’t it?
It’s not about the schedule – it’s about the conversation.
You can’t hide when you’re on Twitter.
Google Caffeine is not important to Christopher S. Penn (it is to me).
… And it’s not because of Microsoft‘s Bing.
Google Wave is going to be a bigger deal.
Google’s new "options" in search (Blogged about here: Google Offers Up New Ways To Search (And Why You Should Care)).
The power of wonder wheel.
FriendFeed gets bought by Facebook (none of us seem to have too much to say about it).
Is FriendFeed really more about real-time search?
Facebook’s new search functionality.
Remember, the monetization is in the data (not the advertising).
Twitter begins to formalize the retweet process.
How big and deep can people go with content?
Julien is taking driving lessons – let’s all pray together.
How will Chris Penn take advantage of technology?
C.C. now repeats about Facebook Search because for some reason, I wasn’t paying attention (strange and awkward moment).
Aardvark – a new tool or platform or search tool platform?
Blogging, sarcasm and taking ourselves too seriously.
Be careful what you say and where you say it (we think).
