Consumption Junction

Tyler Conium joins the show as we talk about the good, bad and ugly elements of social networking.  We begin by discussing Klout scores and why they are an irrelevant measure of popularity that makes Twitter like high school.  We also chat about relentless self-promoters, the inherent desperation in tweeting at celebrities, and the unwelcome appearance of Mittens Romney in bokeen’s "Who to Follow" list. We failed to reach a consensus that any of these elements were "good," so we plan to have Tyler back on soon to continue the conversation. Follow Tyler on Twitter: @tylerconium
