DESCRIPTION:
Griffin talks about Facebook thinking about doing some sort of Currency that could be used within the Apps on Facebook. He then talks about Blockbuster talking about wanting to be on the iPhone / iTouch - bah lol. Griffin then talks about EMI now licensing Project Playlist their catalog instead of suing them. Hopefully Warner Music and Universal come around and license Project Playlist their catalogs too. He then talks about YouTube being banned in China since late Monday night. Griffin ends the show talking about how 8% of all international calls are made on skype - that's pretty badass!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Would you use Facebook Currency? Why or Why not?
