This is an updated version of the Twitter podcast. Summary: A podcast about (hopefully) the more cerebral elements of Twitterland.
So as I was attempting to edit this podcast that I had originally started in early June, Iran went nuts. Twitter, or rather as Clay Shirky so aptly declares, new social tools have been one of the stories that’s been talked about in relation to the turmoil that is currently occurring. Here’s some of the stuff that I’ve been looking at as I’ve tried figure out what angle to look at this from. (Along with a bunch of youtube protestor videos.)
Original Sources in order of appearance (i.e. the people I stole those audio clips from):
Jordan, Jesse Go! Episode 95
CBS news story of Twitter from 2007
Clay Shirky authors@google talk.
Clay Shirky’s Twitter talk was at this venue: http://thechangeyouwanttosee.org
Penny Arcade Twitter Thoughts
Merlin Mann and John Gruber’s SxSw Talk
Brooke Gladstone from On the Media speaks with Sasha Frere-Jones
Amanda Palmer on Twitter Part 1
Amanda Palmer on Twitter Part 2
Amanda Palmer sings I google you.
Jordan, Jesse, Go! Episode 63
I actually highly recommend Amanda Palmer’s full interview on Twitter, it’s interesting to see what the service looks like when 30,000 people are following you, but it wasn’t where I wanted to go with the podcast.

So I was real hesitant to release this given the hype and the probably paid-for firestorm of content appearing around Twitter and Iran, but I did my best to present the most nuanced view I could find of that particular situation.
So, basic stuff: this is a podcast about Twitter, but not in a dumb way. For reals, yo.
*Note I have removed this old version of the cast, but an updated version is available.
This is where I got all the original content. Or in other words, please don’t sue me.
