Wikipedia has spruiked itself as the online encyclopedia for all, but has it actually taken the place of the traditional encyclopaedia that we have come to know and rely on as a reliable source of information?

Facebook advertising promises to send more users to your page so they can like and interact with your content. But is it all that it appears to be? Derek Muller recently demonstrated in a video that Facebook advertising is not that much different to click farms in the sense that the likes generates from the advertising do not translate in to valuable interactions with your page. Steve and Ben discuss the issue of Facebook’s advertising platform, and whether or not the social media giant may need to tweak its algorithm further to provide better results for the end user.

The story of Marius the Giraffe and the insensitive way in which he was put down has made for some bad press for Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark.

Steve and Ben discuss this remarkable story, as well as how zoos have to deal with issues such as these. Steve and Ben also cover the new Lego Movie, celebrations for Darwin’s Day, and the rise and fall of Flappy Bird – the latest mobile app sensation.
