0:35 Dave reads a comment from Tamera Kremer who wonders what brand of irritant Dave uses to stay cranky for Shill.

1:20 Doug vomits up the topic of treating social media as a business strategy versus a communications tactic, which leaves a funny taste in his mouth. Dave coins the phrase Cluetailtipinomics to describe the study of people like Ed Lee who gaze too deeply into the kool-aid sippy cup.

4:15 Doug’s Dog makes a cameo taking Doug away and thus briefly reducing Shill to a half-fat-vanilla-jackass-latte. Dave goes it alone questioning a significant link between advertising/PR and anything that gets CFOs all wet.

5:50 Doug wonders why Dell Ideastorm, MyStarbucksIdea and other digital comment cards are such a big deal. [Insert obligatory Seth Godin reference here]. Dave also mentions Paul Isakson’s awesome slideshare presentation.

7:30 Dave plugs a “Tell, don’t Ask” agenda quoting Sony. Doug loses 30 Apple Fanboy points by picking at the Newton and Mac Cube scabs.

10:15 Is Apple too good for social media? (without sarcasm) opines Dave and their sales haven’t suffered a bit.

12:30 Doug conjures a few corporate corpses to warn of the ills of having business strategy too tied to a chosen medium. Dave points out that companies like GM may be shoveling cash from mass to online, but it ain’t all going to blogs.

15:30 Doug finds a long-winded way of saying that one man’s reputational disaster is another’s perfect storm in a teapot.

17:25 Dave takes a closing pot shot at Ed Lee and Doug verbally strangles himself, thus squeezing Shill’s neck to a spasmodically convulsing death

Theme Music:
