Episode 52 - The Revolution Will Be Twittered! - 6/21/2009
Welcome back to TagSurfer!
This week we're going to tell you about the Green Revolution in Iran to get every vote counted and how social media channels are getting the word out during a dictator's imposed communication blackout. The revolution will be twittered! We'll also tell you about one girl whose iPod saved her from death by lightning; an old woman who was given tasered by cops; a dead woman in Poland who wakes up in the morgue; PETA's latest stunt; the update on the battle against the RIAA; TweetPsych; rumors about a fifth Indiana Jones movie; an eco-warrior being evicted from his eco-cave; and finally, ten ways to provoke a geek argument. Whew! And all of that in just more than a half-an-hour!

TagSurfer is brought to you by your friends, John Newman, the anthropology guru and Nate Long, the PR guy.
(New episodes of Tagsurfer are published each Thursday so check back often. Special thanks go to our friend Ethan who provides us with weekly tech updates and Patrick who obtains permission to use every song that appears on our show.)
Our philosophy is that all the best stuff on the web can be fit into 5 categories. On TagSurfer you can expect to hear about all sorts of stuff divided up as such. All of it new, all of it fresh, all of it supplemented with the somewhat distracted and dare I say “pseudo-expert” commentary of your hosts, John Newman and Nate Long.
