FORTUNE on Blogging

FORTUNE Magazine's January 10, 2005 issue includes a lengthy article about blogging:

10 TECH TRENDS
Why There's No Escaping the Blog
Freewheeling bloggers can boost your product -- or destroy it. Either way, they've become a force business can't afford to ignore.

The article mentions high-profile bloggers such as Xeni Jardin (BoingBoing), Robert Scoble (Microsoft), Jeff Jarvis (BuzzMachine) and Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit), among others. - story link

FORTUNE on Podcasting
I'm anxiously awaiting a FORTUNE story on podcasting. Considering the fact that Business Week has already done a few stories on podcasting, I find it difficult to believe that FORTUNE is behind on the topic.

Business Week prediction:
Podcasting will democratize radio (and video broadcasting, for that matter, as technology progresses) by making it possible for just about anyone to broadcast audio content -- much as blogging did for written commentary.

In late September I wrote a detailed email to a former colleague of mine at FORTUNE about podcasting and Adam Curry's groundbreaking work. Now I'm not saying that my email will result in a FORTUNE story, but since I worked at FORTUNE for many years, hopefully that tip was followed up on. We'll see what happens!

There's an article on it in the same issue as the blogging piece.

Thanks for the tip, Stan. Since I don't have my subscriber copy yet and I couldn't find any references to it on the FORTUNE site, I'll be sure to check the issue once it arrives.

Hey Stan the mystery man with no working email address or URL - unless the article was ripped from the pages of FORTUNE, there's nothing in the January 10 issue on podcasting. Of course if you can produce page numbers, and upon re-checking I find you're absolutely, 100 percent correct, then I'll gladly eat crow. Until then...
