As Clubhouse turns 1, every other service seems to want to have their own rival version. On the last show 406 I talked about Twitter Spaces, which has continued to evolve and improve. Facebook has indicated they are building their own… and in this episode I talk about new entrants from Discord and LinkedIn… and Spotify’s entrance into the game, as well as Telegram adding voice chats to their messaging app. More in these links:

If you go to the top of a Wikipedia article, there is a "Talk" tab in the upper left that brings you to the "Talk page" for an article. What is this Talk page for? How is it used? What happens on that page? In this episode, I talk about the role of Talk pages in enabling collaboration between editors to improve articles. I explain the various use cases and WHY you might want to look at Talk pages to understand more. I also discuss user talk pages and sending messages to other editors. More info at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines

Twitter Spaces is now available to everyone on iOS and Android with more than 600 followers. In this episode, I talk about all the changes Twitter has made to Spaces since episode 406 back in February, and all the features they have said are coming soon. And I ask the question - after the pandemic, will people still listen?

I awoke this morning to a bunch of Tweetdeck notification sounds telling me someone was mentioning @danyork on Twitter.  Was this a bad thing?  No, it turned out to be the latest "GaggleAMP" messages related to the For Immediate Release (FIR) podcast - in this case promoting my report in the latest episode.  Here's the link to the FIR interview I mention in this episode about the GaggleAMP service:

How do the maps we have around us frame our expectations for how we might travel from Point A to Point B?  I talk about this in the context of my flights from New Hampshire to Singapore, which I naturally thought would go from East to West... and friends thought would go West to East... but in fact went a different way!    

A couple of the links I talked about were:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections#Cylindrical
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator
http://www.gcmap.com/

P.S. And yes, I know Singapore is actually a set of islands.  I referred to it in the recording as being down the peninsula formed by Malaysia, Thailand, etc. Singapore is in fact a set of islands right off the tip of Malaysia.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore for more info.

Were you an iPhone 5s user who upgraded to an iPhone 6s? What do you think? Are you happier with the 6s? Or do you wish you stayed with the 5s?  This week I'm dealing with this question of what is admittedly a "first-world problem" of which way should I go...    (and as I said in the episode "Get an Android!" is NOT the answer right now... :-) )

Did you know you probably have many “acoustic speakers” in your home? I was amused this weekend to see devices marketed as an “acoustic speaker” this weekend....

TDYR 348 - “Acoustic Speakers” and Smartphones

In the beginning, a podcast was a never-ending set of episodes, week after week after week... (or daily or monthly). It was exhausting and many shows "podfaded". But in recent years now formats such as "series" or "seasons" have emerged. In this episode I talk about how that lowers the barrier to entry to starting a podcast, and how it can be beneficial for organizing a podcast...

In a recent interview about his new book, J. Michael Straczynski, said he pitched the network on his Babylon 5 show by saying that it was all about "choices, consequences, and responsibility." In this short episode, I talk about what a great summary that is of the sci-fi show that I so enjoyed over the many years.
