I found Rick Klau’s Blogspot while reviewing comments on a post by Louis Gray! It s no secret that I am a fan of Google and like the fact that their employees use a blog to express their ideas and thoughts-I am 73 years od and grew up in an era when an employee was never allowed to express themselves Publicly! These Employee Blogs let we the Unwashed know behind the Logo there are people just like US!

More From Steve Rubel on The Developing Posterous Powered Communities!  http://mediabistro.posterous.com/this-is-your-blog

Mediabistro Launches Posterous-Powered Community Lifestream

A dirty little secret about social sites is that sometimes it’s the big media franchises that put them on the map. Often they drive adoption by a more mainstream audience once they start to dabble. This starts small at first but it can grow quickly.

This week Mediabistro launched a reader-powered blog using Posterous…

Via This is your blog. — TK

“This will be the destination for our community-powered blog. Here you’ll be able to submit original work, such as traditional text posts, and multimedia such as videos, photos, and more. It can be educational, it can be artistic, and it can be anything that you think will benefit your media brethren.”

As more journalists begin to dabble with Tumblr and Posterous. I suspect we’ll see a lot more innovation. The attractivess of Posterous here in particular is its hub and spoke lifestreaming approach that makes it a solid launching pad for a brand’s entire portfolio of socially connected content.

Good Read On Apture from Lijit!  by greg      Sept 10 2009

Enter: The Apture Experience.

All over this post and any of my blogs are examples of what Apture provides. The product offered by this Bay Area company essentially satisfies point b) above by creatively and elegantly displaying these punctuation points you desire to add color to your posts. Have a YouTube video that reminds you perfectly of that prose-like sentence you just wrote? Use Apture to link to it and  pop up on your site. Have that perfect image that can elicit an emotive reaction to your text? Link to it with Apture and have it too  pop up on your site. The installation of Apture caused zero brain damage (installed in ~2–3 minutes) and is just as easy to use. Once a post is either published or in a pre-published state, simply select text and allow Apture to search for similar content on the internet or input specific URLs to explicitly pop up content you desire.

Apture is so similar to Lijit in our focus on creating powerful tools for our publishers which at their core both help inspire and engage readers more thoroughly with your content. Lijit helps mine and discover content, Apture helps expose and punctuate your content with it. Like  peanut butter and jelly.

Open Up the “Apture” on Your Content.

This may be one of the Best Articles Yet on how Old Media Does not How To Position Themselves in a New Market!

” There are hundreds of quality bloggers in Pittsburgh. I dare say that I’d rather read them over the Pittsburgh Post Gazette writers. The local bloggers do have their fingers on the Pittsburgh Pulse because they’re actually out there doing the stuff.  They’re attending meetings, town halls, debates, events and more. They’re not sitting in their office in Downtown Pittsburgh with their select press passes.
I’ll be the first to tell you that there is, and always be a place for newspaper journalism. But bloggers are bloggers and should be accessible anyway.!”     Posted by Andy Quayle   September 3, 2009
