Show 119 – Merry Christmas

Snow storm in Vancouver shuts down the Meetup but the show must go on…

• Another record time round table introductions… except it took forever to establish the format of the roundtable intros.
• Jessie (the barterderesse) gives us a great shout out.
• Craig Griffiths explains why he has a tan… he is in Australia.

On to the show notes…

• Bonnie says she is going to make her Glos.si page her main home page. It is that good. She will give us a review… this week or next week.
• Google pulls support for Exchange Active Sync… as of January 30th, 2013 you won’t be able to set up your Google account on Windows Phone. You can set it up as an IMAP account but not exchange… Andrew is ticked off.
• Voice Mail Feedback… Norman called to say Merry Christmas and thanks for providing hours and hours of hilarity. It is like he is having old friends over…
• Bob calls out Norman to join us for a show.
• Merry Christmas to Norm…

Instagram Terms of Service update controversy:

• Can Instagram sell your pictures to advertisers
• Marcel doesn’t care what people do with his stuff…
• James gets the boot for violating the cheesy sound effect rule… put in the penalty box.
• There are other apps out there that are better than Instagram.

Arik from Wix.com is challenging all Meetup groups to give blood:

• Arik has a  facebook community page for posting pictures of you giving blood. Check it out. Stats about Blackberry… interesting.

Speech Jammer: 

Paul the Rock God suggested we get one of these for the Bunker Show.

The underground Bunker Project is a meetup focused on Social Media, Internet Marketing, New Media, and Podcasting. Set in the Bunker at the Barklay Hotel on Robson St. in Vancouver, The Bunker Project will appeal to those looking for cutting edge social marketing and new media information and to those who just want to socialize over a beer and exchange thoughts and ideas about social media.

Hope to see you soon at The Bunker!

Your Hosts,

Andrew McGivern & Bob Garlick
