Social Media Podcast No.48 - Angels eat Shortbread and, has Apple finally got it wrong?

At long last everyone is back from holiday and we've (almost) got our refurbished offices back.  It's been a bit of a gap since the last podcast but, we're back and straight into the usual banter and social media chat.

Taking part in Social Media Podcast Episode 48 we have Gordon White,  Kyle Murdoch, and Iain Murray  The extended break since the last podcast means there's lots to cover in this podcast and, we've tried to include some more examples of what fatBuzz are doing with clients and how they are using social media to market themselves.

As usual, the banter is good and the conversation moves along with good humour and, we hope, some interesting information from the world of social media and emerging technology.

We're fast approaching Episode 50; have you any ideas what we should do or, do you want to take part?  Let us know - email gordon@fatBuzz.com or kyle@fatbuzz.com.

The new fatBuzz offices get a mention in the podcast so we thought we would include a picture of the unusual flooring we've decided to install; we will bring you more pictures of the finished article in the near future.

We've also acquired a golf chipping net and some practice balls so, when you visit the fatBuzz office you may be asked to take part in our ongoing  "Finding the Net" challenge!  It's our version of a visitor's book and all the scores will be recorded on our "Finding the Net" wall.
