Talk Social News Episode 7: Louis Gray is Social Media, plus the Return of Innovation, Startup Advice and WallStreet

This week on Talk Social News Kipp and Wayne interview Louis Gray author of LouisGray.com. Louis has been handed the blogging keys by Jason Calacanis and some have asked is he the next Robert Scoble. I say he is Louis Gray, the father of twins, marketing specialists, blogger of Silicon Valley, adviser of ReadBurner and one of the smartest guys in Social Media today. Even if you’re just interested in blogging or you wonder how someone like Louis processes and gathers information you’ll enjoy this podcast. But don’t take my word for it, download and listen to the podcast yourself.

For our “What the Blog” section of the podcast, Kipp reviews the return of innovation conversations surrounding the state of the economy and how we’ll see more useful startups in the next six months.

The “Fail” of the week is Wall Street. With tech stocks failing this week such as Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) times are looking rough but we take a look at what Silicon Alley Insider says: Don’t Panic – Profit.

Also we’ll have a special Talk Social News podcast tomorrow after Apple’s Notebook event. So just subscribe to our iTunes or RSS feed for the latest episode of Talk Social News.
