Show #2 of the Clue Unit podcast is up and ready for your enjoyment. You might also note a different format and message on the Clue Unit site. I have a feeling that it'll continue to evolve.

Topics for Show #2:

• Our inspiration to get into the business of online communities
• What would you say to a marketing manager if you had 5 minutes to talk about online communities?
• The controversy surrounding Microsoft sending bloggers free Ferrari laptops loaded with Vista.

It's my distinct pleasure to announce the appearance of a new podcast on the web. We are a group of three who share an interest in online communities in the context of business, plus all things related (and perhaps the occasional tangent).

I am joined by two talented and experienced fellows:

• Chris Carfi, CEO of Cerado, Inc. and editor of the Social Customer blog.
• Jake McKee, Lead Samurai of Big in Japan and blogger at CommunityGuy.com (Jake is our trusty moderator)

In our first show we focused on reputation systems, Joost and issues that businesses are facing in manipulating or remixing user generated content. (Listen to it now)

Enjoy!

We we're actually "on" kryptonite, but we talked about it during the podcast. Jake McKee, Chris Carfi and me talked about the recent story about Kryptonite- bike locks that can be picked with a bic pen.

More than that, we focused on how the company handled the affair and Jake's recent email interview with the Kryptonite PR person. As always, it was a good time. Enjoy.

Update: I uploaded a picture of yours truly during the snapcast and give you a tour of the scene with flickr notes on the photo. Random reality.
