Social Media Podcast 30 - could this be dot.com 2000 collapse all over again?

In No.30, the first Social Media Podcast of 2011, Gordon White is joined by Kyle Murdoch, Iain Murray, Malcolm White and Lynsey Wight. We chat about the recent valuations being banded around for Facebook, Twitter, Groupon and Linked-in... is this heading for the dot.com collapse of 2000 all over again?

We also look at Quora, DODO Cases (the superb new iPad case ordered by Gordon White), YouTube's new home page, the new iPad 2, Acer Iconia, Skype Video on the iPhone 4, zazzle.co.uk and how Attacat have used a similar idea on their corporate tops. We also talk about the importance of putting references to your on-line sites in your off-line collateral, the need to reset your Facebook privacy after the arrival of "Instant Personalisation" and, DIGG vs Redit vs StumbleUpon.

Closer to home, we look at the new web site for New Media Breakfast and how you can now get all of the information for each event in a single web location. We also have a new Facebook Page for the breakfasts and we've added a feed from the web site to the fatBuzz Iphone App.

You'll hear the usual informal chat, humour and general fun surrounding the whole world of social media culminating in the demonstration of my latest iPad App acquisition and my potential as a music DJ!

Social Media Podcast 29 - I've seen the new Facebook Pages

On Social Media Podcast 29 Gordon White, Iain Murray, Malcolm White and Lynsey Wight chat about social media and look back at some of the highlights from 2010.

Gordon reveals the elements of the new Facebook Pages he was lucky enough to see when reportedly a Facebook engineer mistakenly made them live last week. Gordon was working on the fatBuzz Page when the new layout and functions appeared for about 10 mins.

We also discuss the best new device of 2010 with surprising results from our poll. Listen in to her what our community though of this and many other favourites from the past year.

We also reveal a little more about the new fatBuzz offices, the new web site planned for New Media Breakfast and, the new fatBuzz App.

To round off the podcast we have music from Paul Levinson's album "Twice Upon A Rhyme" which has just been re-released as a remastered vinyl. Paul is author of the best selling book "New New Media" and he recently recorded a piece of video on Skype where he addressed the New Media Breakfast audience so, little urprise he chose the title, "Looking for sunsets (in the early morning) as the track for the Social Media Podcast.

The album is available in the UK as a download from iTunes, Amazon and eMusic and, the remastered vinyl is also available from Whiplash/Salvation Records in the UK. You can get it via eBay.
