In this episode, Bill and Nathan interviewed Tom Cheredar about social news sites, specifically Digg and Reddit. Tom has great insight and experience with Digg, Reddit, and other social news sites as both a freelance reporter and active blogger. Tom blogs at at TomCheredar.com.

In this episode Nathan and Bill discuss what RSS is and why it’s important for consumers and marketers alike. RSS is great for marketers because it allows them to distribute their content more broadly than before. It’s no longer necessary to force people to come to your website to stay current with your content. Feed readers like Google Reader allow people to pull more content to themselves while services like FeedBurner allow content creators to provide RSS feeds via email.
