This week at our Copa Bar studio at Urban Mo’s, Aaron & Ophelia kicked it off with a birthday wish to Producer Joey and a quick recap of the week’s events. Then, moving on to the big news of President Obama affirming his support for same-sex marriage, Ophelia felt it was no big deal while the two debated what it will mean moving forward, pre & post election. Then, the chat got heated when it turned to social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) with Ophelia believing internet users want simplicity and are moving away from Facebook back to Yahoo & AOL, while Aaron disagreed. What’s your opinion? Are social media platforms like Facebook on the way out in exchange for simpler, more niche options like Pinterest & Flipboard? Leave your comments below & we’ll read ‘em on the show. Happy Mothers’ Day!   Read More
