SPOS #185 – Media Hacks #23

Welcome to episode #185 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #23 of Media Hacks. We have the whole gang present (with the exception of Chris Brogan who was too busy at CES – lucky guy!). Along with some interesting/new New Year announcements, we deep dive on the Nexus One (aka the Google Phone) which leads us into a deep conversation about data, information and the great race towards a mobile society. We also look at all of the hooplah at CES over e-readers (a topic that is near and dear to all of our hearts). As if that were not enough, we also discuss the value of content (and its perceived value) in a world where everybody wants everything for free. Enjoy the conversation…
