MCLEAN, Virginia - Is the digital music service Pandora really for sale?

What will happen to my Yahoo e-mail account if Yahoo actually sheds its assets, as it says it might do? And why can't Twitter find new users?

We explore those topics and more on this week's #TalkingTech Roundtable edition, featuring an all-star roster of USA TODAY podcasters and columnists--Dad Rock co-host Jim Lenehan, I Tell My Husband the News' Shannon Rae Green, and Mike Snider, the author of the popular Cutting the Cord column.

Pandora is one of the services for free music.

Pandora is the most popular online music streaming service--but it’s stock has tumbled, with a market value of $1.8 billion, down from $7 billion two years ago.

Now comes word the service may be up for sale.

And Twitter--people who use it absolutely love it--but the network isn’t growing, and Wall Street investors are itching for a big change. We offer our take on how to save Twitter, and explain what the issues are with Pandora.

We’ll also go beneath all those headlines about Yahoo. The no. 2 most visited website is laying off folks and may be up for sale. And then what? Yahoo is the no. 2 most used e-mail service. Will it still say Yahoo Mail a year from now?

On TalkingTech, we also talk our favorite digital music streaming sites, our picks for the best productivity app and offer cutting the cord antenna tips.

Added bonus for Dad Rock fans: hear Lenehan and Snider lay out their plans for a big Dad Rock expedition in an RV to Austin, Texas for next month's South by Southwest festival.
