It's awesome when you have a bad news story that is rescued by social media. 14-year old Ahmed Mohamed started his Wednesday in just the worst situation - his self-made clock had been identified as a potential bomb threat and he stood in handcuffs in the principals office. Forunatly for him, the rest of his day, and dare we say, the rest of his life, will be all uphill from there. We have kids, we saw the reaction on social media and we'll tell you all about it.

Then we talk to Lexie Ernst, one of the co-founders of the Companion App, a free app that will connect you to a friend you pick in your contacts on your phone and virtually 'walk' you home.

We wrap up with a fun chat about Sociality Barbie and her fantastic Instagram account and take a look at Mayim Bialik's Grok Nation - a new social network she has created.

The U.S. presidential election is more than 12 months away and already we get daily soundbites of insanity from a full roster of potential candidates.

Perhaps this is why when #CanPoli finally got overtaken by #Peegate for a day I was so very excited. We deserve a tinkle of funny in our federal election (about which there is very little to laugh about). Let us tell you all about it.

And just when you thought that you had figured out what to post on each social medium, we have some individuals who are getting Tinder and LinkedIn confused. That’s right. One is for hooking up. One is for networking and jobs. They are not interchangeable.

Lots to listen to in this week’s podcast including an interview with Communitech’s Alayne Hynes.

More than a year after John Cain created the #FHRITP hashtag and movement (if you can call it that) we talk about the ramifications for women in the media and most recently for the CBC's Megan Batchelor. Eden fills us in on her trip to NYC and the topless protest in Times Square and we talk about the barely-news-Instagram landscape. Wayne MacPhail drops in with our Bookmark this week, on an application called Cardflow.

We start off with reading some mail from the Communitech folks about their Bootcamp that we talked about in Episode 1.
Then we dive right into revenge porn and all that entails. Isis Anchalee's rallying hashtag #ILookLikeanEngineer gets our thumbs up approval as does a feature interview with veteran podcaster and author Donna Papacosta. We wrap the episode with some advice about turning off the auto-play feature in Facebook in light of the Virginia newsroom shooting.

This week we respond to some comments made in regards to the first episode around Gamergate, then get into the Women's Entrepeneur Bootcamp and its value for those lucky start-ups who participate. We dig into #selfie culture and contrast that with the trend of #brelfies as a protest and finally look at some neat wearable tech tailored towards young female coders.

The first episode of the Ada's Sisters podcast introduces co-hosts Angela Misri and Eden Spodek as they discuss the digital culture they are surrounded by and the technology they both love. Starting with the short-lived Instagram ban on #curvee and then delving into vocal fry, they have lots to say about both along with Natalie Zina Walschot's update on Gamergate one year later.
