  Anahita Podcast Episode 5 

  

  Here comes the Anahita Hangout podcast episode 5 where we discuss so many topics on building and monetizing social networks. I have posted a picture of my coffee maker, because during this hangout session I was going through a caffein withdrawal and you can perhaps notice it in my speech pattern half way through the hour. Next time I will do a hangout with my cup of coffee next to me.

  1. How to create different user roles in Anahita while building a real estate social network.
  2. What are Anahita Actors ?

  Anahita Podcast Episode 4 

  

  This is episode 4 of Anahita Podcast recorded from the Wed. January 11th 2012 Google Hangout session with Scott (from http://www.BeerLovers.com), Rob Saric and Steve from the Anahita Tribes as well Ash Sanieyan, the co-founder and developer of Anahita. In this podcast we’ve had a bit of sound problem. Rob and Steve were sharing a connection and Scott was actually joining us from a coffee shop, so in certain parts of the podcast the audio quality is not as good as it should be. We apologize for that. These sessions are done using the Google Hangout.
