The podcast is host to a clash of the titans this week. We don't mean one of those UFC cage matches that ends up with two men in their pants hugging it out -- this is Facebook versus Google+, and it's a battle to the death.
But, before the main event, we have an opening bout between Steve Jobs' biography, a phone that can grab a signal over Wi-Fi, and Skype video calls on Facebook. Which story will win Judgement Daisy's gong this week?
We also announce the winner of the prize for making the best badge in our competition, and serenade a loyal listener with a very special song for his birthday.

Feature -- Will Google+ murder Facebook?
Google has just announced Google+, its answer to Facebook. But after Google Buzz failed to kill Twitter, and Google Wave just, er, failed, does Google+ have what it takes to beat Facebook? And what about Orkut, Google's existing social network -- it's big in Estonia!
We chat about the killer features of Google+, what it can do better than Facebook, and why Flora can't get an invite for love nor money.

Twitter 50
Twitter is a morass of meaningless messages, peppered with the occasional 140-character gem of wit or news. How, then, to discover the jewels in the cesspit?
We've spent the past few weeks trawling through thousands of Twitter accounts looking for just the right selection of people to follow. Check out our list of the 50 people we've chosen. And don't forget to tell us where we've gone wrong.
