Episode 24: Social Media 101 Breakdown

The show started late because of Geoff!

 

Geoff and Aaron broke down the morning’s social media 101 event, at which Geoff keynoted and appeared on three panels, but Aaron was stone-walled.

 

Aaron remarked there were a lot of hot girls at the event., but both Geoff and Aaron quickly bailed on what could have been DC’s Sexy Geek Girls episode.

 

Aaron ragged on Matt from R2Design, while Geoff made cheap excuses for him.  But then they talked about how Geoff got cut off on the mobile question, one of Geoff’s areas of domain expertise.

 

Geoff went into his white paper. Then they ragged on the widget answer.  A great chat about the future of mobile and social continued.

 

Then they discussed how Facebook is the world’s most trafficked social network. Most of this traffic comes on the mobile phone.

 

Lauren Vargas called in briefly. Later she wins a present.

 

Then Geoff and Aaron had some good natured fun at Scoble and Gary Vaynerchuk’s behalf.  Aaron discussed the great tie between Scoble and politics that occurred.

 

Aaron was particularly impressed with the accessibility of politicians on Twitter. We discussed if it was bettering democracy. Then we discussed astroturfing and blaming the intern.

 

Qui Diaz interrupted Aaron to ask if he had her cell # programmed. Aaron got defensive.

 

A give away ensured. Discussion of Scoble event continued.  Geoff broadcasted he wasn’t going to show. And then the show ended early.
