I was given the opportunity to have about a 30 minute chat with Jim Price and Dan Holden who manage to social media program at Cadence Design Systems.  Cadence has been involved in social media for several years, initially with the launch of CDN Live.  They’ve expanded the effort with the Cadence Community, Xuropa and made headlines by hiring EDA maven Richard Goering as their “chief blogger” last year.  This interview has been edited, because no one has time for a 30 minute podcast but what remains is still educational.
