SPOS #203 - Media Hacks #29

Welcome to episode #203 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #29 of Media Hacks. All of us Media Hacks readily agreed that we had been away from these conversations for too long, so we decided to record (albeit via Skype) and publish the chat right away. In this episode we attack everything from the iPhone and iPad app goldrush to conversations about what, exactly, Apple is in the business of selling and a long discussion about how the Internet and books are quickly becoming the same thing, and what all of this means to the average consumer. There's some serious media deep-diving in this episode of Six Pixels of Separation/Media Hacks, and we hope you will come along for the audio journey. Enjoy the conversation...

Hugh leaves - he can't handle Julien's interruptions. Hugh lacks enthusiasm about being a part of Media Hacks by typing while we're talking. Julien swears (literally) by his Dvorak keyboard. Twitter is changing how the authentication works. How popular is the iPad? Is it a success? Yes it is. What kind of company is Apple? Is it more than a design company? The concept of "lean start-ups". Facebook, the "like" button and the truth about friends. Facebook privacy. Hugh thinks that there is no difference between the Internet and books. They are the same thing. The debate about text and hypertext. Hugh needs to pulls a Costanza right now. Back to the, "what is a book?" debate... Books are not just printed pages or e-books. Believe it or not, the mash-up plays into this conversation. TED Talk - Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man. We still can't do enough stuff with our content. Information as a style sheet. Reading with InstaPaper and/or Readability. The Shakes - 'Liberty Jones'.
