Episode 74: The one where zombies leap for bandwidth

This week we had two PrairieCast rookies on the show, OpenAir Equity Partners' executive-in-residence Thad Langford and Drake University social media strategy instructor Chris Snider. We discussed the successful efforts of Snider's class to procure a badge for Des Moines on the popular social platform foursquare, Langford's investment in Kansas City-based mobile search browser Leap2 and the latest news on Google Fiber.

Fast Four

This week the Fast Four included the foursquare badge, the anonymous $1.2B data center coming to the region, Jack Perry's advice to entrepreneurs and the heavily skewed gender demographic of Pinterest.
