Question from Ricky

Ricky calls in and asks us how to start a podcast at a low cost.

We talk about the different ways you can start a podcast.

• Libsyn, Blubrry, Archive.org and Web Hosting

• Microphones – USB Headset Mic vs ATI2100

• Condenser vs Dynamic Microphones

• And more…

Blogger and Google Plus comments can now be linked.

• Andrew has been testing the new G+ / Blogger comment integration and it is pretty cool.

• You can start a free Blogger blog and write a post and share it to Google + and all the comments will appear in both G+ and Blogger.

• Circle Rules still apply so you can leave a comment that is only visible to circles that you share it too.

The Law has to catch up with Social Media

• Brian Burke is trying to unmask the people who accused him of having an affair. 18 aliases were named in the case.

• We talk about whether people should be hiding behind usernames that aren’t tied to their identity on Social Media.

• Bonnie brings up an example about two families that were thrown in jail over false accusations of sexual abuse. It was later determined to be completely false.
