This week’s guest was Stefan Weitz, Director of Bing Search at Microsoft. Not only was the show insightful as always but I think this was one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in awhile. Not to mention Jason’s recent Twitter iPad joke, shame on the journalists who fell for that, Jason and Loren Feldman of 1938 Media put them in their place. One last comments about the iPad, No USB No iPad.
In the “Ask Jason” segment we hear from Dewayne Carel, who asks “How do I keep momentum with my blog (Modders Inc), the uniques spike then plateau back to original values?”.
During “Jason’s Shark Tank” we get to hear Andrew Hillman pitch MaroonDoor a solution for sometimes sticky Home Owners Association politics.
During the interview we hear a great discussion about, why Bing turned out so well. Stefan’s past with Microsoft and his vision for search. One interesting feature that was brought up was Bing and Twitter information. If you go to Bing.com/twitter you can search Twitter content, I urge you to try it I thought it was interesting, try searching #TWiST. Lastly Stefan mentioned the theme for the Bing Friday T-Shirt contest “Airports” if you’d like to win a Bing T-shirt simple @Bing with a query that exemplifies the theme and the team randomly picks a winner.
Rich DeMuro finishes with the news:

This is your best show ever! Love your run down, of the iPad goof. You are a marketing genius!
A nice 9.5 for the show, with great insights from Tyler, and awesome sleep-deprived ramblings form Jason. Good news segment, but don’t be so quick to get rid of Lon, and an interesting guest, although the interview segment could have been longer/more detailed.
Would love it more if it was recorded a bit later in the day so I could watch it live more often – I’m in Australia and it’s very early on a Saturday morning here.
Man the show was epic dude. 9 out of 10 at least.
“know available”?
Good show guys! The iPad/twitter/wsj segment was quite humorous. Go twist super user: http://www.nousbnoipad.com!
8/10
Where is the audio only of this show?
Charles, sorry about that the problem has been fixed, the download is available at iTunes.
First 45 minutes were poor. Cannot listen to the BitTorrent at work story again.
What do Jason’s sports opinions have to do with start-ups?
Mostly fluff, no stuff.
P.S. The blog’s links now suck.
