The 94th edition of Social Blend is an episode many Mixxers have been waiting for… Following her banning from Mixx.com, and our vocal opinions about the incidents surrounding the banning, Violet Planet joins us on Social Blend to tell us her side of the story. We get into a discussion and debate about the whole issue, both at the start of the show – and at the end.

For Social Blend and Mixx news, we focus on some BIG upcoming shows for the holiday season, we have a quick chat about the Mixxing Bowl (now with video!), and discuss the launch of the NHL’s TweetMixx Channel! Also, SilentJay74′s Uber Geekiest Christmas Tree goes viral like the fucking swine flu!

Following our initial discussion with Violet Planet, we all dive into the Meredith Kercher murder case - which saw the conviction of Amanda Knox in Italy, found guilty of conspiracy to murder. We dissect the media coverage of the case, and end up with more questions than answers. We also take a look at a West Memphis Three update, and Greg brings up his photos of the week.

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.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!
