SPOS #172 – Media Hacks #17

Welcome to episode #172 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. Finally, back with a new episode of Media Hacks where we dissect everything from video games and iPhone apps to why Christopher S. Penn loves shooting people online. Should video games be more than just shameless fun? Should companies allow their employees to use Social Media? Some are using it wisely, while some might just be trying to kill some time. From there, we get into a very semantic conversation about what is a "book"? Enjoy the conversation…
