I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while. I know some of you companies out there use PR Web. Heck, we’re a proponent and use them as an add-on to our AgNewsWire.AgWired.com service. I am also one of their subscribing reporters. It’s a different world than the old days in media!
Double Digit Growth For Internet Use/Access

Log In To The International Podcasting Expo
This is just a reminder that the virtual International Podcasting Expo is up and running. It’s only $11 to particpate. I’m currently logged in and just missed the latest seminar on the schedule which was, “How To Set Up Your Podcast Using Feedburner.”
iPods Rule
A podcasting blogger can’t pass up the chance to point out how much iPods are playing a role in everyday life.
ZimmCast Gets You Jazzed About NAMA
It’s NAMA Convention week on AgWired and this week’s ZimmCast will help get you jazzed about it. Before getting into that though I review my BIO 2006 convention coverage and talk about the current state of the blogosphere.
