We kick off the show with a look at the longest tennis match in history, a group of Redditors lamenting over "lost opportunities", and a hysterical Tumblr page dedicated to the ridiculousness of the Maury show. We discuss the good and the bad surrounding some recent changes over at Mixx.com, which leads us into a debate over the current evolution of social news sites using voting systems.

We also discuss a LOT of topics in the news, including the announcement of Australia’s first female Prime Minister, more outlandish recommendations from the Australian government regarding internet use and cyber crime, the resignation of General Stanley McChrystal, human heads found at an airport, and how a dog ran over his owner.

All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!

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.
