Episode 55 was another one of those shows that went in all different directions and it was a blast to moderate the show. We had so many topics that were talked about that, this is a show you don’t want to miss. Here is how it all went down!

Show run down:
Recap of Ep. 54
We talked with Chaz from www.onegeekandamicrophone.com and our other show called “Gathering Geeks” and what is store for our listeners. We are planning on putting an episode up here so you can see what we are doing over there. Also, Sound Check is featured at the One Geek and a Microphone Network.
I had the pleasure to produce Episode 42 of “Obsessive Sneaker Disorder (www.obsessivesneakerdisorder.net) on Wed. night and it was a hip hop rockin show! I enjoyed my time there and I hope to on the controls again some time soon!
We talked about the following as well:

When will we start to see “Commercial Networking sites to promote podcasts, business activities, etc…?”
I have to give Brett from www.utterz.com credit on this topic because I was so amazed at the answers, I had to ask on my show…
Are you more or less interested in following someone on a Social Networking site because they have a sexy avatar?
I would like to thank Skyhost for his participation in the show and his views on Social Networking and other sites on the web.
Android and the location based software that will tell you what buildings are around you, and just about anything that you would want to know about an area, now in an app for the Iphone.
Are we headed to a 100% mobile work environment with the new Iphone and other devices that are coming to market?
Iphone stock in the retail stores and who has what…Check www.apple.com and click on the retail section and input your area if you are looking to see what is in stock locally.
WHITE IPHONE TALK w/ERIC…hysterical!!! Do you know that Eric is a chick magnet because he drank the Koolaid and bought a white Iphone….(I wonder if that Koolaid would stain that WHITE Iphone?)
