Welcome to episode #89 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I got some good ranting going on here about whether or not Bloggers (and other Social Media types) really do own the brand? I think we should be celebrated and embraced by corporations, but I worry when Consumers start trying to sell stuff related to the brand and how the companies are reacting. It's all live and off the top of my brain from a CarCast. I also dish a little on Apple, the MacBook Air and include my thoughts on Microsoft and their move at Yahoo! Oh, we also talk about must-have Marketing books. Enjoy this conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #89 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 40:31.
