  8. Grindr hacked, Music Subscription & Twitter Censorship - Download This Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    It’s the 4 billion dollar industry that wants to see you get more sex. We examine the psychology and business behind Digital Dating in light of the gay hook-up iPhone App Grindr being hacked by a NSW Teenager. And only in our second episode we declare that Radio is Dead! Long Live RDIO. Do music subscription services like Spotify and the newly launched RDIO mean a genuine competitor for iTunes? We also examine Twitter’s decision to allow country-by-country censorship - is it actually a good thing? And as a little treat, imagine if you could take over the official twitter feed of an entire nation… what would you say?
