Welcome to the second 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 are back at it tonight (how did I end up doing four of these in a row?!?), and we’re talking about the news that Twitter now has a valuation of $1 billion. Will Twitter last long enough to ever reach that amount? It might … if it can become part of the “plumbing” of the Internet.

For this episode, Mark rises from the primordial ooze that was two solid days of TechCrunch50 coverage. So what did he like, what did he hate? He lays it all out for you while I grunt a lot in agreement and shake my head at the stupidity that some people try to pass off as a “startup”. If this episode has an alternate title, it would be “It’s all about the evites, baby!”

For this episode, Steven and I again take up the mics (since Mark is a big ole wuss!), and Steven and I take a harsh look at the new Google product, Fast Flip. Yeah … we aren’t fans. We spell out our reasons in the show, but we really take issue with the whole concept.

For this episode, Steven and I decided to completely ignore TechCrunch 50 and take on mainstream technology with a look at the current Hollywood fascination with 3D. Why is it being applied to so many properties? 3D TVs look to be coming, will you buy one? 3D sports on television makes our heads hurt. What is the point to adding 3D to video games? You get the idea!

For this episode, Steven and I take a look at what is happening with Facebook now that they have purchased FriendFeed, and are they really running scared of Twitter?

For this episode, Mark and I take a look (again) at what is happening with e-readers and how we feel they could finally crack their way in to the mainstream. It’s just going ot take some time and patience to do it!

This is a new trend that is suddenly cropping up with the like of GigaOM Pro and Ars Premiere leading the way. Mark also discusses how SiliconANGLE (a site both Mark and I work for) is pondering a similar model.
