• 00:14 – Brian aka @litford finally joins the team!
• 01:02 – Is Gen Y voyeuristic?

• 05:25 – Is it reaching the stage where everything you do is broadcast online?
• 06:04 – Kris hammers home the point that it’s really about the person who is reading it and their levels of acceptance. Of course he uses a porn star as an example.
• 07:26 – Brian is in favour of “what I do is my business”
• 08:30 – If employers feel strongly about employees’ conduct online, it should be made crystal clear upfront

• 15:14 – Daryl blames prior drinks for incoherence
• 15:57 – Brian decides to add in some academic value by telling us the theory of the media spike
