Now that the fervour of the elections is over , we can get back to what ’s really important — technology . And the specific technology we address today is brought to you by the letter T , as inTwitter andTelevision .

Making this episode of the Macworld Podcast so twitterific is my interview with the St. Paul Pioneer Press ’ technology author , Julio Ojeda - Zapata . Julio is set to let go of his bookTwitter Means Businessin the next few weeks and now seems as good a time as any to get down to job in esteem to what purposes Twitter serves other than declare to the world that baked beans and broccoli are on tonight ’s dinner fare .

I then pile up around the virtual triangle table for a three - direction discussion with Macworld editorial film director Jason Snell and senior news show editor program Jonathan Seff about how late technical developing are changing the fashion we hold and find out television programs and movies .

And at long last , because it ’s so darned topical , I ca n’t avail but start the podcast with a brief non - partisan monologue on how the vane has change the face of politics .
