CNET UK Podcast 181: Are social networks dead?

This week on the podcast, Ian was off stripping in his bedroom. Stripping wallpaper that is. So the reins were placed in the more than capable hands of Flora, who rallied prankster supreme Nick Hide, and once-intern, now CNET UK staff writer Luke Westaway. On the agenda this week: the death of social networking, some stupid new British law and an annoying new phone operating system.

News reaches us that AOL is considering selling or even closing British social-networking site Bebo. This caused us to wonder if time has been called on the social network?

Web?
