GeekCast 43 includes the full squad of Lisa Picarille, Shawn Collins, Jim Kukral and Sam Harrelson. The show starts with a discussion of Shawn’s new BlackBerry Bold (on AT&T).
However, the cast moves into a discussion of Valley economics vs affiliate marketer economics, spurred on by a remembrance of Jason Calacanis’ keynote at Affiliate Summit West last year. Companies and personalities such as FatWallet, Scott Jangro, Zac Johnson are compared to Mahalo, Twitter and Revision3. It’s a great segment, and probably one of the best in GeekCast history.
Sam then whines on about Twitter for too long.
There’s also a lengthy but good discussion on branding mostly between Jim and Lisa hammering out if branding even matters any more. At the end, it is agreed that Lisa will now start wearing bacon pins everywhere.
Shawn recaps the happy mood at this week’s Ad:Tech in NYC and then the team scatters off into a million little discussions about all varieties of geekiness before settling on netbooks (with some promises of coming affiliate sites designed around them).
The show runs a golden-tie filled 71 minutes.

Are you trying to make a case for it or making fun of it (like everybody else)?
you're such a douchebag.
That's not really an appropriate word to use in a public area like this – please clean up your language.
I forget about that video. I still haven't washed my left hand since that day.
Both the iPhone and BB Bold have 2 megapixel cameras.
You should really try Trackur.com – it's WAY better than just Google Alerts. We use it at NEM and it comes up with crazy stuff I'd never see before.
Lisa's thing is Fossil watches!
Does the iP have a flash for the camera? The Blackberry Bold has one.
no flash on iphone
