This week we had not one but TWO special guests. The Mighty Thor stopped by to join us for celebrating five years of YouTube as well as remember some of their better days. We then talked about how Tom finally got the boot at myspace and how for some reason people can’t be troubled to type a URL into the address bar and have to search for it instead. After a few more stories we finally got to the legendary Reg Saddler better known to the Social Media world as Zaibatsu. Reg answered some hard questions and gave us a little insight into his world.
