"Talking Tech" Podcast

After a one-week hiatus, Talking Tech is back. Not surprisingly, I “hi-jacked” the show to talk about my decision to jump from the world of journalism to the blogosphere by becoming vice-president of operations with b5media, which operates a global new media network with more than 150 blogs that attract two million unique visitors a month. In response to a few inquiries, I’ll continue to write my blogs and, hopefully, keep my hand in journalism a little bit. As for the rest of Talking Tech, Kevin and I spent quite a bit of time talking about Research in Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie’s purchase of the Pittsburgh Penguins for $175-million. It also gave us an excuse to talk about the Blackberry Pearl, which became available in Canada earlier this week. Finally, we touched up on the Google-YouTube rumours, which picked up steam after a Wall St. Journal story and a TechCrunch post. Notes: The show notes for Talking Tech can be found here, the podcast is here. Thanks again to Fleishman-Hillard’s David Jones and Ed Lee for their production magic – and their decision to keep working with Kevin and I even though we’re no longer daily technololgy newspaper reporters…:)
