Ask Me Don’t Spam Me Manifesto
I was over at Michael Port's blog reading a post written by Elizabeth Marshall called Do You Ask Permission? Your Credibility Depends on It. In this post, Elizabeth surmised at the number of times people add her email to their distribution list without asking her...
Mesh Mini-Podcasts Are In the Can
Borrowed the title of this post from Rob, who borrowed it from Leo. The Mesh mini-podcasts are coming. Seven in total, all under 10-mins. Not sure when they'll be posted, but I'll link to them once I see them on the Mesh blog. Unfortunately, I was using an...
Promoting Your Podcast Author Selects Podonomics
Jason Van Orden, author of Promoting Your Podcast, put together a list of his Top 7 Recommended Blogs for Podcasting Tips. My friend, Scott Bourne, made Jason's list twice, along with yours truly. What I like about Jason's list is that each of the blogs he selected...

I Liken Anonymous Comments to Nothing Being Said
I don't know about you, but I can't stand anonymous comments. I liken them to nothing being said, so I ignore them. Reminds me of when people talk behind your back. They boldly badmouth you, only to sheepishly say they didn't mean it after learning you were listening...
Keep the Poppy On
Amber MacArthur, who has done a wonderful job of using her video podcasting background to segue into an on air host job at City-TV, is doing a segment tonight for Remembrance Day. Yours truly was interviewed about my Keep the Poppy On campaign, an effort to encourage...
Podcasting Mistakes Can Be Avoided
"I like my raw vegetables well done." I laughed when I heard this said on a radio ad this morning. The person uttered that sentence and then the voiceover said, "At least we know what we're talking about in Globe & Mail's Health section." I hear and see these type of...
