Brought to you by Blacknight, it’s The Technology.ie Podcast, Episode 8, with Conn Ó Muíneacháin and Michele Neylon.  Our guest this week is science and technology journalist Marie Boran.

We talk about Carrier IQ.  Is it a rootkit, or a legitimate network management tool?  There’s a new social network for the Irish language, currently in development and launching in January.  We discuss location-based check-in services.  Facebook have bought Gowalla: now they’re shutting it down!  And Cubic Telecom launch a new MAXROAM Global Data SIM.

Marie has just finished a Masters in Science Communication in DCU.  We talk about Science and Technology journalism in Ireland, and hear about her work with Scibernia, the Irish Science Podcast.  She’s also a regular contributor on technology to The Irish Times.
