SPOS #202 – Media Hacks #28

Welcome to episode #202 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #28 of Media Hacks. In prepping for the launches for both Trust Agents and Six Pixels of Separation business books, Chris Brogan, Julien Smith and I decided to hold half-day events titled, Building Trust In A Connected World Summit. This past week, we celebrated the last event of this mini-book tour in Salt Lake City, Utah. The night before the event we recorded (in person) this latest episode of Media Hacks… and hack away we did. Everything from privacy and the iPad to digital out-of-home advertising and the proximity Web. As you have come to expect, Media Hacks is not safe for work, but it is chock-full of passionate debate and conversation about Social Media, technology and the changing face of Marketing. Enjoy the conversation…

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast – Episode #202 – Host: Mitch Joel.
