Missy Ward (@MissyWard) of Affiliate Summit moderated this week with panelists:

  • Lisa Riolo (@LisaRiolo), Internet Marketing Consultant

Jen Goode (@JGoode), the Chief Doodler of JGoodeDesigns.com and Carolyn Tang (@catango) were our special guests this week.

Sometimes Technology Really Sucks Today’s episode reminded me of how much technology can really impact your day — especially when it doesn’t work properly.

After each of us dropped off Skype multiple times today, we decided to record the podcast using GoToMeeting, which also failed us.

The result is a mashup of eight Pamela-recorded audio files plus two GoToMeeting files. It’s a hot mess.

That being said, the content is still good. If you can get over the poor sound quality and the crappy display of editing you may find a juicy tidbit that will make it worth your while.

If anything else, you can find out why Missy recorded this podcast without wearing pants.

  • Is it imperative to be a good writer to have a successful blog?
  • Is it worth taking a citation from the grammar police in order to get your point across?

This week’s episode covers:

  • The Bill explained in layman’s terms and why the ugliest word in the English language is “nexus”.
  • Who is affected by this bill and why it’s more than just affiliates and merchants in California that have to be worried.
