A podcast you should listen to

Friday, May 18th, 2007

HBR IdeaCastIf you are interested in business topics such as marketing, leadership, business development, you should check out the Harvard Business Review “Ideacast.” It is a weekly podcast on a range of topics. Last week’s discussion of public relations gave a lot of valuable insight into the value of good PR. There were some practical tips on how to position your organization in such a way to attract the press when they need an expert for a topic.

Some of the past topics have included, What is Wikinomics?, Breakthrough Ideas of 2007, and Viral marketing. Each episode is free and only 10 to 15 minutes long. This is some great stuff.

First post of the new blog.

Wow, how about that new blog smell. Although the Internet probably does not need another blog, I think that this will be a good place for me to record the tips/tricks and hints I have discovered about web marketing, search engine optimization, design and other topics.

My plan is to write in an approachable style that will interest my friends and family who come by to read this. Also, I hope to get some writing from other sources as well. Jode Willingham has promised to write some words about classic 80’s movies and songs.
