Alex Bellinger (he of the excellent SmallBizPod – small business podcast, inventor of simultaneous podcasting and owner of a hairy wotsit) has a new personal blog called Verbalism. I think it’s personal in the sense that it’s not the smallbizpod business blog as I haven’t seen anything (yet) about Alex’s cat, crushes on his English…
The Royal Television Society holds its biennial convention in Cambridge this September. Charles Allen, CBE, Chair of the 2005 Convention says this in the invitation blurb: “All of us in the TV industry, producers, broadcasters, are facing what has been described, rather painfully, as ‘Burning Platforms’.

Having read Neal’s post today and having had something of a blog binge earlier, I thought I’d catch up with the rest of the world and have a look at Itunes 4.9 Perhaps I wanted to wind myself up as an antidote to all the unravelling of ideas that I’ve been doing, I don’t know,…
Muchos gracias to James for pointing me to Frank Kane’s piece in the Observer today about the Cass Creatives debate earlier this week.

It’s funny because it’s true. I’m looking forward to seeing enraged Liverpudlians burning Radio Userland boxes and ageing copies of Wired Magazine outside the Cavern and beating their kids if they catch them reading Scripting News. I’m also looking forward to the day that Mr Winer makes a stand for world peace by staying all…

Not…
Media Week – Podcasting takes hold Media Week: “As media owners and advertisers prepare to go to try harder and get involved with the iPod revolution, Sean Hargrave finds out how the “play now, listen to it later” craze could be about to take the industry by storm.” A long article that only looks at…
