Minnov8

Joining us on this week’s show (a longer-than-usual one but we’re off next week returning 12/31/10) is Julio Ojeda Zapata to discuss his new book “iPad means business.” It documents how the touch-screen device is becoming a lifesaver anywhere people need to get a job done. The book tells the stories of tablet-wielding workers, companies, students and teachers. Joining us mid-show is Don Ball, co-founder of CoCoMSP, partner in PolymerStudios, and a guy who is a thought leader about coworking. We talk about the event he attended in San Francisco on this topic and more. Rounding out the show is our call to the mobile phone of Lisa Grimm (@lulugrimm) Digital Public Relations Specialist at Mall of America (@MallofAmerica), who was outside the mall with her colleagues (photo) running the Twitter-followers-only Big Secret Parking Party.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson
Music: Dom Duff & the song “March Azur” via the podsafe Music Alley.
