Last month, Google launched with great fanfare, its third attempt at social media- Google+, waving goodbye to Google Wave and swatting Google Buzz.
Today comedian and tech pundit Heather Gold joins us to take a look at all the new social networks that are cropping up to compete with Facebook and
why LGBT folks understand social media and SEO more than anyone else.

I guess that since Microsoft already has invested in Facebook and works indirectly together with Facebook as they bought Skype and Skype copperates with Facebook that Microsoft will buy Facebook one day.
Have you tried the Google Multpil-Sign? I use a different email addresses for Google Plus and Youtube and it is easy to switch between the accounts.

Olivia Munn is fantastic. Gold’s criticism lacked as much insight as the Jezebel.com article sparking the controversy over Munn’s hire. She practically lifted Jezebel’s talking points verbatim. Who gives a $#!t if she wasn’t a stand-up? God forbid she just be funny, pretty, and good on television. To this day Steve Carell still says he was a chance-hire for the DS with no solid background in comedy and Munn co-hosted a very popular comedy-oriented show for four years! The Daily Show’s response to this kind of criticism was perfect: A photo of their female staff (the largest in late night TV) and a statement from them pointing out the flat-out bitchiness of saying Munn was hired for her looks. Are the other female correspondents therefore hags? No. The same stupid criticism has been thrown at Jessica Chobot, who worked her ass off IGN or years. It’s just ridiculous. Of course she’s on television because she’s attractive. And so is pretty much everyone else!
I just don’t remember Gold being this unpleasant. Talking over you all constantly, sounding like a PR rep Google, flippantly addressing privacy issues as site-specific policy and self-moderation problems when it’s more and more becoming an issue of outdated privacy law being manipulated… It was all just a little much for me.
Hi, Heather!
I think with time, “tummeling” will catch on at least as much as the term “grok”: lots of my geek friends “grok” each other. So far the only other place I’ve heard of tummeling is while re-watching The Aristocrats. Eeengh.
Also, I think it was Mariel Hemingway, not Morgan Fairchild, who dated Nancy and kissed Roseanne. High-cheekboned blonde actresses, they do all tend to blur together!
And Fausto, never fear, as far as you’re concerned the knish shop is closed.
That reminds me, I need to book my next Pap schmear… maybe work on my kugel exercises…
I have one question, what is about Google circles so innovative and new? Facebook has the same possiblites. You can put friends into different groups and then decide each time you post something which groups of friends can see it. I have used it since it was avaibale.
Thanks for the shout out today!
I have been listening to the show for about 5 years now, sorry it has taken so long to buy a T shirt.
The feast of fun podcast has meant a lot to me, so I would just like to thank you for all your time and talent.
Lots of love from down under *wink*,
Georgie.
