So what would happen if some-one started a social network and no-one came to the party?
That sure seems to be the general reaction the day after the birth of Google Buzz which Sean and I discuss on today’s show. Now of course because this is Google and the tech blogosphere can be a fickle beast tomorrow could see a whole new attitude about the service.
But then Google seems to get a pass on a lot of things it does which you can easily see by the lack of follow-up on its supposed pull out from China. BTW how’s that going Google?
Of all the news that came out today the best had to be the announcement that Google was going into the ISP – I just wish it had been some-one else doing this.

I’ll give you two guesses about what tonight’s show with myself and Sean is about and the first one doesn’t count.
As you can tell from the show name and logo we have made the transition to out new tech oriented podcast. There will be a follow-up post explaining the reasons for the change but for now tonight’s show with myself and Sean take a look at some of the really braindead things we ran across today.
