Welcome to another week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of The Cynical Bastards!

For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!

Steven Hodson and Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins take on tonight’s duties and have quite the discussion about Google purchasing Gizmo5, the future of PayPal as a universal identification system and end the show with a discussion on how Twitter has “stalled” out numbers wise.  Kinda sorry I wasn’t on this episode, some great discussions.
