On the 67th edition of Social Blend, Chris McGill announces the launch of Mixx’s new feature: THE SIFTER - a chance for you to not only select new content on Mixx, but a chance for you to win prizes!

Also joining us in the Blend is the ever wonderful Julie Lujan aka Calinazaret who we tore away from her important school paper to party with us on the show!

We officially announce the Haiku Contest for you all to enter – and we also discuss who the most influential person of 2009 is (according to Time.com).  We also squeal like a pig about the swine flu.

We also discuss whether Anonymous has too much power, strange body wash commercials featuring scenes from American History X, and how Facebooking while sick can get your ass fired!

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules. We try to make the main focus of the show to be Mixx.com, and other social media sites; but we usually just end up talking about whatever comes to mind!
