You know you've been hooked when after only a month of stealth-mode
blogging, you're already brainstorming internal and external wiki
possibilities, and dreaming of the power of podcasting on the heels of
a soon-to-be iPod purchase (maybe a Christmas gift--crossing
fingers).
Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson
have both inspired me. They've moved beyond dreaming to reality
with the first test of their weekly PR podcast for communicators, "For Immediate Release." I just listened to the audio and can't wait to hear what comes of this in early January when they begin casting.
It was really interesting to listen to their introduction of this
project. Neville brought up how this will be without script so
it's conversational. It reminded me of an email exchange I had
with him recently when he pointed out that blogging [wikis or
podcasting] is just a part of what we're really
doing--communicating. He's right. With new technologies
serving as catalysts, we're coming into our own as communications
professionals.
These are exciting times--envisioning, and executing on, effective communication.
