Toledo Blade "Paper Without the Paper" First Impressions
Hi, Paul, I took a look at the “Paper without the Paper” beta program that the Toledo Blade is testing. Thank you for the invite! My initial thought is that it appears the work is redundant.

How I Would Handle the Philadelphia $300 Blog License
In a stroke of brilliance, the city of Philadelphia, PA is considering making bloggers play $300 a year for a business privilege license in order to blog with an ad on their site.

Biggest BIN2010 Lesson Learned: Watching the Examples of Leaders and Friends
The last few days at Blog Indiana’s BIN2010 were an absolute whirlwind. Liveblogging, catching up with friends, helping out wherever possible. I even pulled out the old Valet skills and handed out parking tickets the first day. I still don’t think there’s a “niece who was volunteering.” jk Of all the great lessons I learned […]
Pre-Review: Corporate Blogging for Dummies by Douglas Karr & Chantelle Flannery – 5 Reasons Why I Recommend the Hell Out of This Book Before Having Read It.

Michiana’s First Night of Two Tweetups
Scheduling snafus, controversies, and an uphill battle were among the events encircling last night’s Northern Indiana Social events for those in Michiana. I would be less than honest if I didn’t confess that my thoughts on the drive up were with them. My thoughts were also on that drive up US 12 along the National […]
Open Letter to Tweetups in Michiana on the Eve of Blue Chip Casino NWITweetup
