GeekCast 47: The Really Ugly Twitter Cage Match

by Shawn Collins on December 10, 2008

Episode 47 of the GeekCast show was heavy on Twitter mores, tools, and geek titans clashed on how Twitter should be used.

Also, the Mac vs. PC battle rages on, Shmuly takes on Microsoft, the annoying Mac guy in the movie Waiting, editing green screen video, and Sam Harrelson is down on scheduled sex.

Good show guys. I think I'm leaning Lisa's way – I can see both Sam's and Jim's point of view re: Twitter. 99% of my tweets are personal stuff, but I do occasionally plug The Big Book of Spam and do the silly contest thing like I did this week. I try not to go overboard with it.

I think bit.ly's got it all over twitpwr though – even for a beta, it's too buggy and if the only unique thing about it is the ability to get on “the list”… that's just too gimmicky and doesn't provide enough real value.

I just threw up a little in my mouth, too. Thanks, Sam.

Hey Todd –

Did you drop off before the part where I was saying you should become a business coach with the evaporation of the Big 3?

Maybe I am a business coach for giving you that sweet advice?!
