Buzzword Bingo

With the recent Apple iPad announcement, tablets have once again been the topic of conversation in tech circles. In this week’s episode, we talk about tablets in the Enterprise and how they might be utilized effectively. We also share our specific opinions about the iPad.

We’ve decided to shorten the show format. There are lots of great tech news podcasts out there. So we’ve dropped the Net-Net-News segment. We’re keeping the main topic, rants and call-to-action. In fact, this week’s call-to-action is sure to make you smile.

We’re back with our usual enterprise-focused banter. This week we tackle the latest buzzword in the industry: The Real-Time Web. We attempt to define it and discuss what technologies are used to deliver it. Back on the show this week are two web experts: Jeremy Laurenson (Cisco Technology Solutions Architect) and Andy Waschick (Owner – Gestalt, Inc.). Plus, don’t miss Net-Net-News, Rants and a gamer-geek’d-out Call-To-Action (No Avatars were harmed during the making of this video).
