AWOL
Tweet
I only found time to post eight items this week. Too much work.
What I did find, though, was of some interest: Firms Look to Limit Liability for Online Security Breaches, 57% of Consumers Will Give Email Addresses to a Local Retailer: How to Take Advantage of That Fact, and Utility to offer high-speed Internet over power lines. The latter story, about getting internet access by plugging into power outlets, is on a favorite topic of mine. Who needs wireless or cable or DSL if you can just plug in. Another story, What US Phone Surveys Really Say about Media Usage is an interesting view into the disparity between what people actually do and what they say they do. Anyone who has done usability testing knows there always is a discrepancy but you rarely see hard numbers.
This week Amy Gahran, publisher of a good website about writing issues, Contentious, blogged an article I wrote awhile back, How To Create An Editorial Process To Publish Web Content. I was impressed that she ignored the practical side of what I wrote and instead focused on an idea buried at the bottom of my piece, “Corporate Journalism:” More Effective than Corporate Communications?. I recommend her site as a writing resource regardless of whether or not she pays attention to me!
Looking forward to next week, I hope (plan?) to have more time to research and post. But I thought this week would be quiet. Then I wound up spending two days with my head in a corrupted database file sorting out 1500 records… I’m also part way through turning my Treo 600 PDA into a laptop and will have news to report next week…
Thanks for visiting and reading! Hope you’re doing well these days.
Tim

Hey Tim!
Glad you liked my entry on corporate journalism. I appreciated your comment to that entry, and I hope your readers check that out.
BTW, I did *not* ignore your advice on editorial process. I just didn’t really have anything to add on that because you said it so well
And it’s not recommended reading for my own readers and clients.
Keep up the good work.
