Chat #23: On how Web2.0 is now 'normal' and consultancy ethics

Welcome :-) It's been a while -- and we knew you missed us so we came back! In this cheeky chat we: Craftily reference a YouTube video of Aussie satire show CNNNN Let you know that GoToMeeting.com are our sponsors (and we think their product is great, too!) Chat about Allan's recent 'off the grid' experience over the Dec-Jan period -- he loved it, we missed him, and he only thought of Lee twice but was blown away by how 'matter of fact' some folks in his travels consider podcasting and blogging Talk about the time it takes to create a podcast versus a vidcast versus a blogpost, and Allan has a superb strategy for dealing with the whole 'time it takes' issue for SMEs (Small-Medium Enterprises) -- plus he explains why he rarely listens to podcasts and explains why Auburn University takes a day off to celebrate Robert French once making the 'Coffee Stain at the Bottom of the Cup' section of Allan's blogroll. Link to such luminaries as Mitch Joel, Bryper, Josh Hallett, Robert French, C.C. Chapman, The Divine Miss M (nice new image for your Diary of a Shameless Self-Promoter podcast, Heidi!), Donna PepsiCola, Steve Crescenzo, Stuart Bruce, Shel, Neville and FIR, and the IABC Conference in New Orleans And talk about LibraryThing.com and the wonderful scanning mouse you can buy for $15-20 -- well worth it! Along the way we rip the p*ss out of each other (as usual), disagree with each other (as usual) and shed more light on business communication than you will see at an Aerosmith concert. Agree with us? Disagree? Let us have it - both barrels! Drop your comments on the show blog, or even better send a Waxmail to our new Gmail account: commscafe at gmail dot com. All in all, 36 minutes of caffeine-fuelled hyperbole and satire
