During this edition of Social Blend, we’re joined by Julie Lujan aka Calinazaret, and we pay tribute to Weird Al Yankovic with the release of his new song, Craigslist!

In the news, we talk about the DC Metro tragedy and how social media was the first to get the news out.  We also dive into a deep discussion about the current election issues and protests in Iran, and how Anonymous and Social Media are bringing forward support for freedom.

We’d like to also remind you all of THE LIMERICK CONTEST!  Write a limerick about SilentJay74 - make it funny, make it ridiculous, make it offensive, make it whatever!  Send your entries into cGt2099 [at] gmail [dot] com.

Congratulations also to VioletPlanet for reaching 100,000 Karma Points; we examine what happens when Buffy meets Twilight; find a lawyer in a trash can; and much, much more!

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!
