Every so often I get involved in other people’s blogs and podcasts by commenting. Commenting on other blogs and podcasts is a great way to show people how smart you are on a topic while dipping your toes into the warm waters of social media.

To be filed in the strange but true category. One of the podcasts that I produce, the New York Mets Baseball Podcast has been graciously nominated for a 2006 Podcast Award.
Now, I’m not the type to interpret winning awards as the sign of a successful Social Media venture. But it feels good to be nominated [...]

It’s a little known fact that my New York Mets Baseball Podcast has been nominated in the “Sports” category for a 2006 podcast awards.

Dave Winer is calling for a community podcast directory to replace the now neglected iPodder.org directory. He’s even got a domain ready to house the new list.
