Finally over his cold, Mike Langford is back up to full speed in this episode. From deep space to the deep south and across the pond we go.

Featured Groups:

• GreensvilleSC (created by @StevenPitts) – Group for tweeple in Upstate South Carolina. Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens. Mike also takes a few minutes to answer a couple of questions asked by @hmerkle, a member of the GreensvilleSC group.
• UnsignedBritishBands (created by @TheBritBusTour) – A group brought to you by The BritBus Tours, for unsigned bands to share knowledge and ideas on everything from gigs, promotion, distribution, plugging, good & bad venues…the list is endless. If you share and ask, you will all gain!
• Star-Trek (created by @JoeTwit2) – The Trekkies are back in action! With a new Star Trek movie on the way we had to let you know about the Star Trek group again.

In recognition of our new future British super stars we selected a PodSafe friendly song by @TheUnstoppableTeam titled “Only Thing.” Be sure to stop by and let them know what you think of their song on Tweetworks or check out their MySpace page.

There’s an inner geek in all of us. What are you geeky about?

On today’s episode Mike Langford shines a light on some seriously geeky groups.

Props given to Benjamin Nugent for his book “American Nerd: The Story of My People.” Listen to his appearance on @WBUR’s On Point radio show.

We also have a very special call in guest.

Featured Groups:

1. StarWars: Were the Ewoks part of the rebel alliance? This is the question that made the Star Wars group a necessity. May the force be with you.
2. Star-Trek: Kirk or Picard? It’s impossible to have a geek show without a nod to the Trekies. Group started by @joeTwit2.
3. NASA: This is the real space stuff. Group started by @Loreen72.
4. AugmentedCognition: What the bleep is augmented cognition? Sounds geeky huh? Group started by @silverton.
5. AutoTwitter: Do you geek out about Web 2.0 stuff? Well lend you thoughts to the auto industry brainstorming session. Group started by @JohnCass. A must read for the AutoTwitter discussion is Tom Osenton’s book “The Death of Demand: Finding Growth in a Saturated Global Economy”
6. TeamSystemGeeks: Do you know what Microsoft Team System is? If so, stop by and cheer up @MichaelRuminer
