The 75th edition of Social Blend sees us joined by Brian Bickerton aka Tau_Zero, as we pay tribute to Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, and Farrah Fawcett. We jump into Mixx news, and discuss the controversial issue of nofollow vs. dofollow - and the impact on Mixxers. It’s a heated discussion that rivals many of our “piss and vinegar” episodes of the past.
We also discuss the selling (or selling out) of The Pirate Bay, the new Woody Harrellson flick Zombieland, and Gizmodo’s Kim Jong Il Photoshop Contest!
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.
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!
