SPOS #182 – Media Hacks #22 – Holiday Hacks

Welcome to episode #182 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also the latest episode of Media Hacks (#22 – hard to believe we made it this far). This will be the last Media Hacks for 2009 and in this episode we discuss the language issue (again, and hopefully for the last time), the changing face of the e-book, the speed of which we’re getting new technology and how this year panned out. We’ve got Christopher S. Penn (aka The Ninja), Hugh McGuire and myself on this episode. Lots of different topics with lots of back and forth. Enjoy the conversation…
