Tech Weekly: Facebook's panic button, Kristian Segerstrale of Playfish

On this week's podcast, we'll be finding out more about Facebook's new safety features for under-age users: some are calling it a "panic button", but the social networking service says it's not.

We chew over Google's announcement of a mobile phone application development tool that could open up the lucrative market to non-techies.

And joining Aleks in an outdoor edition of the programme is Kristian Sagerstrale, vice president and general manager of web game company Playfish, who discusses the success of the games industry through a recession.

Also taking a soft drink in the summer sunshine is the Guardian's new media correspondent Jemima Kiss and the European editor of TechCrunch, Mike Butcher.
