Social Blend

Following up on our Best Of Social Blend special, we close out the year by looking back on what was 2010. Joining us for this special year-closing 143rd episode of Social Blend is JeffK aka Janejas and Kat Smith aka Kat136.

We kick off the show taking a look at the big news events and items from 2010. From the Haiti Earthquake, which is still an extreme disaster zone, to the TSA controversies, to the Year Of The Wikileaks, we take a look at it all!

Later in the show, we review how 2010 treated Mixx.com, and take a look at the advances and releases the site has made during the year. We debate the Mixx Ambassadors, discuss Newaya‘s 200,000 Karma breakthrough, and review the issues surrounding the downvote button.

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.

This week’s content on Social Blend was
brought to you by the following Mixxers:

    IMHO Yes, the button should be moved back to where it was. A new user that goes to Mixx may believe that there is no downvote option and figure that the site is lopsided when the only choice when encountering a submission is an upvote. Give the new Mixxer an opportunity to make those selections without having to figure out that “Oh yeah, you have to go elsewhere to downvote”.
