Everyone please thank @SurveyMonkey on Twitter. 4:45-7:45 Yahoo had debuted a few new products including Livestand, a Flipboard-like app. Will this fair well? 12:30-14:30 If you're Yelp and you've been pushed down the page by Google Local, should you be investing in search traffic? 14:30-15:00 Who is a better company for a startup to align themselves with: Apple, YouTube or Google? 15:00-17:00 Tyler: What changed your opinion of the open web, Jason? 17:00-18:45 Google plans another algorithm change that could impact 35% of all searches. What kind of effect do you think this will have on the ecosystem? 18:45-20:30 Peter: Caffeine vs. Panda is the issue here. 20:30-22:15 Jason: They've capped the ability of any one site to become too powerful. 25:00-27:15 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring the show. Everyone thank @MailChimp on Twitter! 27:15-30:30 Kevin Rose's lab Milk has launched their first app Oink. It's like a review site but for specific things inside places instead of just the place itself. What do you think the adoption will be like for this app? 30:30-32:30 Kevin tried to do something very similar to this at Digg and it didn't work, so this seems a little bit like an "f you" to Digg, no? 32:30-35:00 Jason N.: Where do the products come from? You have to take a picture to describe it? 35:00-37:00 Peter: The problem is that the responses will be fragmented when you're doing something as granular of a dish. 39:00-41:15 Jason gives away a new Samsung Android phone to one lucky person in the Chill chat room! 41:15-43;30 A Steve Jobs bio has sold over 379,000 copies the first week on sale. Is this just because Jobs was such a fascinating character or is it all the media hype? 44:00-47:00 Peter relays an anecdote about when Bill Gates lost it on an employee. 47:00-48:00 Do you think Gates would give up $1B of his net worth to have invented the iPhone? 48:00-51:00 Former Engadget editor Josh Topolsky has launched a new site called The Verge. Is this a worthy new entry into the field of tech journalism? 55:00-57:00 Let's talk about Groupon, who began trading on the NASDAQ this morning. It's the biggest tech IPO since Google by the share price. What message does this send to the other players, especially considering all the negative press they had going into this? 57:00-58:45 Peter: Are they a transitional life form or will they survive long-term? 58:45-1:00:00 Jason: I guarantee that Google will buy Groupon. Or Amazon or Facebook, but they're going to be bought. 1:02:00-1:04:45 The largest ever Google+ hangout occurred this morning when the Stanford University's open AI class was broadcast free for anyone to watch and discuss. Is this a sign of greater adoption for G+ or just this feature? 1:04:45-1:08:00 Regular Google search results now are incorporating much more social data, such as what someone has liked, how many followers they have, etc. Why are they doing this? 1:10:00- Everyone follow @PeterCHoran to keep up with him on Twitter.
