Geoff and Steve discussed their trip to Safeco Field with Shashi who was at a baseball game for the first time. Steve talks about Chris worshippers on uStream. How they left the Registration party, went to a two and a half hour ball game, and came back… and the party was still going on! Geoff marveled at the power networking that occurred from day 1. Steve rapped on the Ignite movement (something I’m interested in getting going in the Baltimore/Washington area). Kris Krug did a 15 minute session on how to make your photos look better.

Episode 26 - MP3 Aaron gave Geoff grief on Canada day, and then explained how he insulted the entire country.  Apparently, Aaron does this frequently. Twitter discussion this week revolves around Summize.  Will Twitter use $26 million in venture funding to buy Summize and fix its replies function.  Geoff says Twitter needs to fix its f*%&ing social network.

Then we got into the show with a discussion surrounding the AOL acquisition of Sphere. Sphere provides a widget that pulls related content from around the web. Aaron doesn’t like AOL so, on principle, he removed the Sphere widget when this announcement was made. Then, a long discussion about Loren Feldman and his puppet disparaging of Shel Israel (oops, Shel Israel) with sock puppets. Aaron notes that Loren creates conversation in his own way and he has a whole body of work for context. Geoff frames the opposing view around the concept of “shock jock” - probably a fitting analogy. Aaron notes that shock jocks are effective. One way or another, Shel benefits in the end. Aaron also notes that Loren has done the same thing to Jason Calacanis and to this day, Calacanis and Feldman are good friends.

Why shouldn’t Twitter be more along the lines of a protocol that other companies and innovators can build on? Geoff had a post that stirred up some controversy along these lines today.
