The Internet Monthly is a monthly podcast featuring 10 or so short Internet related articles, tips and tricks and a regular search engine of the month feature.

In this month’s issue you can find out how to send files straight to your friends’ desktops with a little help from France and why your content will sometimes go viral and why other times it will drown in the surf.

You can also find out how the stationary firm Ryman plans on saving the world one font at a time and the latest search offering from Pinterest aiming to compete with Google and Microsoft’s Bing.

This podcast is derived from a monthly newsletter published by Zen Internet and recorded and produced by Silicon Bay. The podcast is reproduced by kind permission of Zen Internet.
