The Geeks get social; this week’s episode is all about social media.

You tell it how your day went, and show it the food on your plate at the restaurant. You loudly proclaim you religious and political convictions to it, and some people just ignore it, event-hough it’s there waiting for you interact.  What is it? Social media, and in this week’s episode, the Geeks dive head first into the sometimes rocky waters of social media.
