  1. Hi, guys. I’ve been alternately swamped and slagged the last week or so, so I’m behind on my comments.

    I caught about half of your IAOC presentation and I think the double-act via Skype is a great idea. One suggestion, though: since the current version of Skype allows video, why not get a webcam each? Then the person on location can point one out at the audience so the person back in the office can see who he’s talking to, and the audience can have a face to go along with the voice. (Insert inevitable face-for-radio joke here.)

    A client of mine who has a side business in PR just won an iPod Nano in a raffle. This makes about the fourth iPod in the house, so I suggested she keep the new one just for podcasts, and will be sending her a list of PR podcasts to subscribe to—starting with yours, of course.

    Now back to preparing proposals and outlines for the half-dozen presentations about podcasting I’m going to be doing in the next few months.

  2. In short, I am very confused by Robert Scoble’s reply to the Vista delay. How come he needs to contact Microsoft’s PR-firm in order to find out whether the news that 60% of the code need to be re-written is true?? It’s an IT-question, not a PR-question. And of course you guys are right, there needs to be one rep at MS to make a statement.
