Careers in New Media and Podcasting

I have been testing SpokenWord.org over the last month or so and I think it is great. I consider a YouTube for Spoken Word new media projects.

I guess I have been podcasting so long that anniversaries no longer make an impact on me. Last Wednesday, September 24, 2008, I started my 5th year of Career Opportunities and my fifth year of podcasting in general.

A recent Twitter message from my fellow Friends in Tech member, Kreg Steppe…
