After our SMB here in the twin towns of Minneapolis & St. Paul, a few of the local social media podcasters had a chance to talk about the social media scene here in MSP, and some thoughts on social media as well.

Quickly, the discussion turned into how a tech fest with no less than 4 mobile recording devices appearing to capture the conversation.  So enjoy this impromptu podcast recorded live on historic Main Street Minneapolis on the shores of the Mississippi River.

In this converstation are Graeme Thickins, Steve Borsch, Bryan Person, Rick Mahn, Albert Maruggi, Tim Elliot, Brad Bellaver and Phil Wilson.  You can also see a QIK video of part of the conversation here: http://www.qik.com/video/2364510
