FIR Interview - Robin Crumby, Melcrum: May 31, 2007
Social networks are attracting a lot of attention in business, no more so than in the field of organizational communication. In this edition of For Immediate Release podcast interviews, Neville talked with Robin Crumby, Managing Director at London-based research and training firm Melcrum.
Our conversation included discussion about the Melcrum Communicators’ Network - its launch, what’s in it for communicators, where it fits in a crowded social networks space, and what the future might hold.

Robin has launched a number of online communities and websites for professional communicators over the years, including The Communicators’ Network, The Internal Comms Hub, and the Strategic Communication Research Forum.

Episode 243 struck by lightning
They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Well, it does.
Today’s show #243 should have been up by now, but it’s not. In fact, it won’t be until tomorrow.
The recording gremlins had a field day today, brilliantly assisted by me through not paying attention to which button I’m clicking on during recording of the show over Skype with guest co-host Sallie Goetsch.
End result - no recording at my end. Luckily, we have Sallie’s capture.
Keen listeners might note a disturbing similarity to the result that happened the last time Sallie and I recorded FIR together.
Well, yes, although it’s different lightning.
Anyway, my apologies for the delay; the show will be up within 24 hours.
