In this episode of the Girls Out Loud Show, Maya and Cristina express their surprise at the childish back and forth between Google and Bing over who's stealing whose search results, discuss the opening of the Android App Market, the debut of "the Daily", Rupert Murdoch's big iPad app, and the attempted Google acquisition of Path...to which they said NO THANKS! Are you kidding, dudes?

This week on Girls Out Loud, Maya and Cristina discuss checkins on Foursquare and Facebook, how the Huffington Post is overtaking the New York Times in visitors to the site, how enormously expensive Twitter trending topics are, and WeinerGate. Yes, we talk weiners.

Girls Out Loud 35: The WeinerGate Affairs

This week on Girls Out Loud, we get giddy over virtual currency craze Bitcoin (or Maya does, while Cristina remains skeptical.) We also discuss the inevitable truth that Netflix is finally the largest source of internet traffic in North America, the upgraded piracy bill turning the "streaming" of copyrighted content into a felony, and the coalition of the biggest tech players in the Valley to fight the proposed California social network privacy bill. Listen for more!

Also, HUGE apologies for apparently saving the same sound file TWICE, once as Episode 32 (which it was) and once as 33. Does that mean nobody heard 33? The post has been updated with the correct file, thanks so much to the anonymous commenter who pointed out that we were "repeating" ourselves...literally.

Girls Out Loud Episode 34: Where Maya invests her savings in Virtual Currency

This week on the Girls Out Loud Show, Maya and Cristina wile out over the potential new discovery of anti-gravity...or, more accurately, Maya dorks out while Cristina chuckles in the background. Additional topics of conversation include Twitters acquisition of Tweetdeck, Chinese Facebook competitor RenRen's INSANE valuation, and of course, the role of social media in the news of Osama Bin Laden's capture and death. Fascinating stuff, if we can say so ourselves!

Girls Out Loud Episode 33: We’re about a WEEK away from Hoverboards and Anti-Gravity!

This week on the Girls Out Loud Show, Maya and Cristina discuss the "revelation" that Apple is tracking our location on iOS devices, although we're not all too surprised. In the acquisition of the week, the unlikely acquirer Walmart purchased social platform Kosmix for $300M. While companies are being bought left and right, some investors are growing weary of founders cashing out too early. Last but not least, Maya goes gaga over Amazon launching library lending for the Kindle while Cristina tries to recall what a library is like. All this and more is on the show this week and if you have comments, please leave them below or hit us up on Twitter at @papayamaya and @cristinacordova!

Girls Out Loud Episode 32: Time to Freak out… Apple Is Stalking Us! (Or, not.)

This week on the Girls Out Loud show, Maya and Cristina marvel at how far we've come that Virgin Galactic has a real job opening for pilot-astronauts live and ready for takers! Also on the docket is the New Yorker magazine's first foray into Facebook fan-gated magazine content, the Amazon Kindle having its price slashed in exchange for a brand new advertising program, and Google's newest viewpoint on social-- that its the indicator of the company's well-being, at least with respect to bonuses for the year.
