CobWEBs Daily Edition: The Pollyanna landscape of blogs and brand protection

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 and I discuss an odd convergence of stories this week over the politeness that seems to have crept into blogging and how we feel it is false. At the same time there seems to be an uptick in “webtribution” (the act of getting retribution via the Web), and, oh yeah, we talk furniture.
The Dark Side of ‘Webtribution’ – The Wall Street Journal
What Caused the Blogosphere to Grow Up? – SiliconANGLE
Are People Just Fatigued of Your Brand? – Michelle’s Blog
I’m such a lucky guy in the most important ways – Shooting at Bubbles
Push the big green button and have a listen in!
