One response to “The Hobson & Holtz Report – Podcast #236: April 30, 2007”
Great coverage as usual guys– on the ghost-blogging issue, thanks for pointing to the back and forth within the blogs– there was a lot of good discussion on this, and Topaz stayed in the center of it– it was very constructive all around.
By the way, Topaz’ two-cents and then some are on last Friday’s PRobecast podcast, which obviously doesn’t capture all of the discussion that took place subsequently on the blogs:
Also, a hefty but good post by Todd Van Hoosear on the Topaz blog about the issue
I’ll pick one nit-while we may still use the word blog in the title, we agreed with the characterizations of those who would call it something else due to its lack of a personal voice.
The name is a matter of semantics– all parties that I saw agreed on what the content was.
