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 pick up tonight after a couple of missed ones to discuss something he saw happen on Twitter today.  I’ll let him explain it from his description since he has all of the links:

The acquisition in question was Social Times and my reaction to the round of congratulations that emanated on Twitter on being acquired. My first thought which I twittered was that this is what success has become – being acquired instead of building a long term successful business.

Push the big green button and have a listen in!
