Xeni on Leo Laporte's TWIT TV with Baratunde Thurston, Marshall Kirkpatrick


I had a fun time yesterday on episode #294 of Leo Laporte's This Week in Tech webcast, with fellow guests Baratunde Thurston of The Onion and Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWriteWeb. Topics included online news coverage of the Japan nuclear crisis and post-quake/tsunami humanitarian efforts; the internet of things and what a Facebooking refrigerator means for your personal privacy; Google and Honeycomb; the $41 million dollar data mining app called Color; and various things Kanye West has tweeted while high.

You can watch the video here (direct MP4 links: hi-rez, lo-rez), or listen to audio, and transcript will be here later today. Thanks again to Leo, and to TWIT producer Eileen Rivera for inviting me!
