Manage episode 157478077 series 1222934
John Wolters (@jochenwolters) is back for round 2 – or 4 (whichever) either way, he’s awesome! We decided to shorten the podcast just a bit and skip the “feature” section, only to wind up with the longest podcast to date!! But never fear, dear listener, it’s 1hr 27min of pure AWESOME! We go through the sordid details of our WordPress site getting hacked, briefly turn the show into “Mobile News Weekly” as we discuss the HP TouchPad, talk about some mobile stats Ron came across (mind blowing stuff), and more great news in the web & UX design world. Enjoy!
