This week begins with an update for the Affiliate Marketers Give Back charity project we’re doing with Jim Kukral’s Attention! book. As of the time of this writing, the book is either with Chris Brogan or on its way back. Depending on how many more signatures we can secure, the auction may be happening in time for the holidays, which would be a great present for the organization.

Drew gives us the rundown of the Modern Media Man conference that he’s attending later this week, including details of his session, which leads into a broader discussion of industry conferences.

Apple had their event recently, announcing the new iPod line-up, the Apple TV and iTunes 10. We cover a bit of photography with HDR on the iPhone 4 and the new Ping service.

We talk about one of our favorite podcasts, Sarcastic Voyage. Hi, Aal. Hi, Matt. Go check them out, they’re awesome.

Next up, Affiliate Summit and the session that two of your Geek Dads are planning. We’ll have more details about that as we get closer to the session submission deadline, but basically, it’s an improv session that will take suggestions from the audience and build ideas around them.

[Additional show notes forthcoming. Kids. What can you do?]

Geek Dads Weekly #6 – It’s Not Apple, It’s Google

by Geek Dads Weekly on February 17, 2010 · View Comments

When you’re a work-at-home Dad and things get hectic, sometimes you miss an episode! Daniel and Joe are back after a week hiatus. They lead off with a brief update on the kids, then launch into some really fun stuff. The video of the panel that Daniel was on at Affiliate Summit is available for viewing, and Joe’s big takeaway from the discussion was the upsides of wikis vs. other website formats. Next, the Super Bowl – it was a great game, and the advertisements were all out there trying to do their best to be memorable, but one in particular sparks a terrific discussion: does Google’s ad point out that they are, in fact, trending toward evil? Microsoft was the Evil Empire in the 90′s, is Google having the crown resized to fit?

Also, the winner of our first Internet Marketing from the Real Experts giveaway has been announced! Shawn from Ohio is our winner, and we’ll be contacting him via email to find out where we should send his copy of the book. We have a few more copies to give away, but for our next contest, we’re changing it up. We want to hear from you! Tell us what kind of contest to run, and if your idea is chosen, we’ll send you a copy of Internet Marketing from the Real Experts. When we run the contest you suggested, the winner will receive a copy of the book. More details on the contest page!
