For the 85th episode of Social Blend, we’re joined by special guests Daniel Honigman aka dan360man and Len Kendall, the minds behind THE3SIX5, an incredible project designed to capture the diversity of crowdsourcing through the year 2010 - be sure to check out their site in the show notes below!

Among other things, we discuss the recent regulations set down by the FTC requiring bloggers to disclose their product ties - and how this decision affects people across the web.  We also take a look at a recent article focusing on how Mixx submissions are helpful in getting your content out on the web and eventually indexed by Google!

Other topics we discuss include the Samoan Tsunami and the Indonesian Earthquakes, T-Pain’s Obama Auto-Tune song, the coming age of augmentation, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Jewish background, the upcoming release of SAW VI, and David Letterman’s recent extortion-related confessions and revelations.  Plus, there’s always more!

For music this week, we focus on the release of the first KISS studio album in over 10 years, SONIC BOOM.  Check out the links below for where you can get a copy of the album.

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!
