It's another episode of The Register's enterprise tech cast, and this week your hosts – Greg Knieriemen, Ed Saipetch and Sarah Vela – are debating whether it's still worth engaging with social media – Greg thinks not – and whether widespread adoption of the 7-inch slab is really going to take off in the BYOD enterprise game.
The Big Twitter Purge
- The gang play the “Which Twitter creeper has a real job” game.
- Greg and Marc Farley experiment with Google hangouts.
- Public Google hangouts are a nightmare.

- Wi-Fi only will be a security problem
- 7 inch is a better form factor
- Android security is getting better
- Is there really a BYOD problem?
- Tablets in business meetings
- Real world BYOD problems
- Cisco routers managed by the cloud... and a really bad corporate lawyer writing horrible terms of service...
