In this weeks episode Leo talks to David Prager who not only had his house invaded by someone he doesn’t know, but instead of calling the police he Twittered and started a UStream to chronicle the situation. Say what you will about the way he handled it, it is extremely interesting and a real sign of the web 2.0 era we are living in.
Kevin Rose’s new website wefollow.com is talked about here. If you haven’t taken a look at it, it is a central directory of Twitter accounts divided into relevant categories. You can add yourself to the directory and Leo has tried to do just that, and much to his chagrin, without success. As of now he is still not included, Kevin needs to get on this.
The issue of Apple putting even more DRM into the new iPod Shuffle is a big deal to many on this week. While it makes a lot of business sense for Apple to do this, it is pretty bad for consumers as it does nothing other than drive the price of third party peripherals up. The guys make a good point though, the public won’t care.
iPhone OS 3.0 gets a little time at the end here, but stay tuned for Tuesday’s MacBreak Weekly for the full scoop as the announcements take place early on the 17th.
McCain Twitter, Prager has company, US CIO bust, Google Voice, iPod Shuffle, and more.
