"Hi Amber

I was watching The Social Hour today and found your anecdote about the live sneezes archive quite interesting. I guess some people like it when celebrities/TV hosts/podcasters sneeze on the air because it reminds them that they're human like the rest of us mere mortals, and are, like the rest of us, prone to losing control when they're "technically" not supposed to. Still, to compile such an extensive archive is very surprising, although it seems really quite harmless. I've followed The Social Hour and net@night for quite a long time now, and I think you've actually sneezed quite a few times more than they've listed!

I think what makes podcasts like TSH/n@n different and successful, in addition to the excellent content is the relaxed and natural atmosphere that you guys bring. Impromptu sneezes actually add to that, so I wouldn't worry about it. Keep up the fantastic work on the show!

Incidentally, how come you have to sneeze so frequently on the show?! I don't think I've ever seen Leo or Sarah sneeze but you've sneezed or almost sneezed quite a few times! Are you allergic to TWiT or something?!

Best Wishes, K

"Hi guys,

Could you guys do an episode focusing on social media tools being used by the enterprise? I know about the popular options such as Yammer and Chatter, but I'm sure there are others that I'm missing.

Love the show, Chris"
