No Show This Week
The one thing more serious business than Serious Business itself is, well, my mother’s birthday. It lands smack-dab in the middle of the show, so I think I’m going to take this week off. We’ll be back next week with more random goodness and tacos — lots and lots of tacos.
WatchSerious Business for March 4, 2009, wherein we talk about the Facebook live feed and page changes, Twitter’s recent meltdowns that have us reminiscing about the summer of 2008, and the usual spate of randomness that you’ve probably come to expect.

A Whole Newsroom On Twitter? Serious Business.
It’s not every day that you see an entire newsroom hit Twitter, but that’s exactly what WCBD has done. We’ll talk about this, the latest Facebook flap, and a whole lot more on Serious Business tomorrow night at 8:30.
Serious Business Tonight: Free-For-All
Well, I’m honestly used to having a week to procrastinate on new material for Serious Business, but because we did last Wednesday’s show on Sunday and there’s another show tonight, I didn’t have the usual time to sit on it and then panic two hours before the show. Lack of material notwithstanding, we’re going to DO IT LIVE regardless. I have a feeling...
A Familiar Home
After delaying the Wednesday show, Serious Business is live tonight at 8:30 ET on Ustream. (Just like old times.) We’ll talk about the implications of Google Latitude, the spread of #sars09, and anything else we manage to think of. Plus, as always, your calls.
No Show Wednesday, Postponed to Sunday
I’ve learned of some family business that I need to attend to tomorrow night, so I’m pushing this week’s Serious Business back to Sunday night at 8:30. (Apologies to all 12 of you die-hard Pro Bowl fans.) The regular night will resume next week, February 11.
WatchBetter late than never. Here’s Serious Business from Wednesday, January 28, featuring special guest @blairblends.

Planning Shows Should Be More Serious Business...
Look, I’ll be frank (oh God, here goes that Transparency and Openness crap again). I’m a gigantic procrastinator. For some reason, I like pressure, blah blah blah.
However, as I get older and my hair increasingly decides it no longer likes my head, I find that this procrastination thing works less and less to my advantage. So, I realize the need for an agenda for at least half of...

WatchThe January 21 edition of Serious Business, where I take on President Obama, CNN+Facebook (and why not Twitter?), and take Twitter to task for being a weird company. Nate calls in and explains the meaning of meatwaffles…but did we learn anything? And, 15 minutes of solid laughter after Jared is cornered with Freudian slip mayhem.

New Serious Business Site
I’ve decided to set up shop with a new Serious Business site at Tumblr. This will let me easily pull in posts from jaredwsmith.com as well as automatic links to new videos as they go live. Good stuff — I hope. I’ll evolve the design quickly (I hope). Pardon the tumblr-defaultness in the meantime.

The Serious Business Super Bowl Pre-Pre-Pregame Show was a fun one, where we talked a bit about football and a lot more about the availability of crayons at Hooters. Seriously. It’s amazing what…
