Podcast: Filter this – Twitter v. Facebook v. Flickr, Apple v. Microsoft (and Google)

‘Tis the season… for a tech giant battle royale. In this week’s episode of the GigaOM podcast, we talk about Twitter’s new photo filters and Flickr’s new app, as the fight for mobile photo dominance heats up. And if all that rivalry wasn’t enough, we also look at Apple and Microsoft’s app store bickering as well the much bigger battle with Google.
