Blogs as News Sources for Radio Stations?
June 9, 2008 From Bob Sacks
I had a futuristic experience yesterday. I was listening to Sirius radio. I don’t remember which station I was listening to, and that may be relevant here, but the event should be startling to journalists everywhere. It was the top of the hour and they started to deliver the news. The first news headline was delivered and it was stated that this news was from So&So.com’s blog. The next news item was delivered and it was attributed to Peter&Pauls.com, another blog. In fact, all the news on this channel was attributed to the blogosphere.

Doing Social Networking Right
May 31, 2007 From Rob Yoegel
It was a privilege to be welcomed as a guest contributor in Business Common Sense by its author, creator and a mentor of mine, Denny Hatch. Denny hired me 11 years ago as an associate editor when my wife was 5 months pregnant and one month after being laid off. He taught me more about direct marketing than any textbook or college professor could ever do, impressing upon me that a ‘sale only begins when the customer says yes’ and that the ‘customer is always right.’
He is simply a fountain of information, but isn’t afraid to tell you what he doesn’t know
