Best New Show and New Title
Nothing like wanting to brag a little bit to give you a little motivation to start posting again on your blog.
I’ve got two announcements:
1) We’re thrilled to have Podcast & Portable Media Expo chosen as Expo Magazine’s Best New Show in our category. I’ve always thought that as long as I surround myself with people that are smarter than I am and as driven as I am, good things will happen. Thank you very much to my show manager, Luann Alesio, my registration manager, Laura Laflin, my Creative Director Paul Rahmes, and my Conference Coordinator, Bonnie Adama. They are the ones that made it happen!
2) You may have noticed a name change of the blog. Our little company is becoming much more of a media company than just a tradeshow company and I’d like to be able to comment a bit on our other websites and businesses here. So the blog is now New Media Startup. I’ll still post a great deal about tradeshows and events, but I also will also begin posting about how our online properties affect our tradeshows and vice-versa.
More later!

Congratulations to you and your team! I’m glad to see you posting again, too, and am looking forward to hearing about the online/tradeshow mix.

Tim,
Congrats on the EXPO acknowledgement. Even though I’d already been blogging for awhile when you started talking to me about this Podcast Expo thing and invited me to participate way back when, I poo pooed it as a fad. Who has the time or energy to listen to trade show talk or marathoning or *gasp*… coffee? Blogs (text) had the aggregators, the infrastructure, the links to Outlook and Blackberries, the content, the momentum and it appeared, the cash.
If blogs were run by people talking about their belly buttons, then podcasts were from INSANE people talking about their belly buttons.
Today, right after 24 and The Sopranos, my next most important needed weekly fix is the podcast on portafilter.net.
And I don’t even bother with my Zen. Right off the laptop.
Congrats for being ahead of the curve and championing this stuff and corraling it in a way business and aficiandos can grasp. Regardless whatever credit Mr. MTV VeeJay claims.
Now I have this really bizarre idea about a podcast from our coffeehouse… it marries coffee and fishing…
