CobWEBs Daily Edition: Watching the pendulum of stupidity swinging to the extreme
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 talk (again) about the stupidity of Blippy. The larger discussion is about how people in social media feel some weird impulse to overshare every aspect of their lives. It is now being used against them in divorces, siblings are using it to fight with each other (to hysterical results) and in general people feel if you don’t share all of this information, you are somehow a bad social media participant.
Bite us.
