Better late than never! We’re back with a brand new episode! We recorded this last Friday so please do forgive our tardiness. Here’s a look at what we’ll be discussing in this episode:

Updates (Local & non-Local)

Refresh Austin had an amazing turnout for a talk about How to Get Funded or Get Acquired.
HomeAway had a SuperBowl commercial “Hotel Hell Vacation” featuring the Griswalds (13+ mins)

HipHop from Facebook came out to make your PHP faster.
Google Buzz came out… and its like Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed and all those other things. Do you need it? Meh… But it leads us into our main topic.

We also talk about an article from Trent Walton called Divided Attention that reinforces the mindset that when a customer are using your website, they’re probably not just using your website and your website is competing against a variety of other things that aren’t websites. website website website.

#TrendingTopics is Back!!!

Finally! It’s back! We comment on what the #TrendingTopics that are apparently really important to the whole world. Due to the lateness of this episode, we (untimely) talk about V-Day.
