BlogTalkRadio welcomes Craig Newmark of Craigslist!
August 27, 2007If you use the internet and BlogTalkRadio, there is no doubt you are familiar with Craigslist, the hallmark virtual town square that has changed the way we find and share information.
But there was a time before Craiglist, and it was a time when it was harder to find cheap rent in a major metropolitan city. But now people around the world use the site every day to connect, thanks to Craig Newmark.
And today we are very pleased to welcome Craig, the founder and namesake of Craigslist.org, to InDaNo on BlogTalkRadio.
Craig will be joining Plunket and Shawn on InDaNo at 10pm EST, so be sure to jot down the dial-in number (718) 664-9889 to speak to Craig.
But please don’t ask him where to find a good futon or cheap rent in Manhattan, that’s why he created the website.
Read Lisa Padilla’s post and watch her exclusive video here. See you on-air!

Attention Fantasy Footballers, Rotohog on BTR is here!
August 26, 2007BlogTalkRadio is thrilled to welcome the debut of the Rotohog.com Fantasy Football league to our platform.
The Rotohog Fantasy Football show debuts this Sunday at 11am EST, and will continue weekly on Sunday mornings. Each week, the show will tackle (no pun intended) news, reviews, and insight related to the world of Fantasy Football. This Sunday’s topic is “A look at the skilled positions - Quarterback, Runningback and Wide Receiver.”
I must admit, the most exciting aspect about BlogTalkRadio starting a league at Rotohog.com is that as a collective, we can indirectly compete with other local terrestrial radio station while BTR representatives compete with each other for cash prizes. Oh, and it’s free to play. That means, the more sports enthusiasts we get to sign on to the Rotohog BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Football League, the stronger our representation against traditional radio. I know for a fact we have some energetic sports hosts out there who could be some pretty stiff competition!
For more information about how to sign up and join the BTR army of Fantasy Footballers, tune in to Rotohog, or Paul Greco’s Talking Baseball, an offshoot of FantasyBaseballGuy.com.
The league starts September 6th, so get involved now!

Social networks & trust in journalism
August 26, 2007Social networks have become a big part of my life, whether I admit it or not, and it’s nice to step back and hear some theories about where they might go. Try escaping, I dare you.
Thursday night I helped organize a panel discussion at Yahoo! for Silicon Valley’s Social Media Club. A great help was Ms. Havi Hoffman, whose title is “Attention Agent”. She has been at Yahoo! for a decade and currently works on social media and marketing for the company. I can’t imagine why she said she’d had a hard day — with the free Starbuck’s-style coffee, basketball & volleyball courts — except that there were fewer people enjoying any of those perks than there were sitting in isolated corners or booths in the cafeteria working intensely late into the evening. The truth is Yahoo! is trying hard to crack the social media code, just like all of the young kids on the block.
Panelists from Reddit, Digg, Yahoo! and Topix led a debate and agreement on the challenges of user-generated news, popularity rankings and revenue models. They were joined by Dan Gillmor, who’s comforting and at the same time challenging words kept chanting that we were still in the infancy of this shift.
The discussion uncovered one key element present with the intersection of social networks and journalism. Trust. Ratings, rankings, karma, diggs, thumbs-ups, votes, whatever you’d like to call them are beginning to solve a much-needed problem of misnamed credibility and truly democratized media sharing. What a great time to be alive…when whispers can finally shatter long-standing, power-backed mistruths. Blogtalkradio supports that idea.
Hard to believe a post from the marketing department on our corporate blog? I don’t blame you. So decide for yourself. Try it today! It’s free.
Craig Newmark might have a thing or two to say about social networks, trust and the changing role of journalism. Time Magazine’s “…wizard of the local web”, recently told ZDNet’s Donna Bogatin “We think of Craigslist as a form of Social Media.” He founded Craiglist.org in 1995 and grew it to a 22-million unique visitors per month service. Here’s a short video of Craig that I took at the Future of Media Forum in San Francisco.
Talk about social! You can listen or talk to Craig live on Blogtalkradio this Monday, August 27th on the InDaNo show.
And that’s the news on news,

Blogtalkradio: The new medium for health success! (I’ll make sure Oprah hears about us)
August 25, 2007I remember not too long ago sitting with Blogtalkradio’s creator Alan Levy as he started to tell us about his new venture. His eyes widened and his voice became passionate. I knew at that moment I must become part of anything this man gets so passionate about.
6 Months later I started my own show, excited, apprehensive (ok scared). It’s been the most exciting 6 months of my career.
I am proud to say that I am Blogtalkradio’s Fitness Expert. My name is Peter K and I have been fortunate enough to share with all of you the world that Alan created.
Every once in a while you experience something in life that makes you sit back and smile. That happened to me several months when I accidentally met (nothing happens by accident by the way) a man and quite casually asked him to be a guest on my show. He agreed, impressed, and last month it happened. That man was John St Augustine, executive producer of Oprah and Friends Radio.
That’s the power of Blogtalkradio my friends! You can be sure when I am a guest on Dr Mehmet Oz’s show (Oprah’s new sweetheart) soon I will invite him to experience Blogtalkradio for himself.
As for me, I am looking forward to sharing great and fun tips on eating, exercising and mind/body success with all of you. Want to be a guest on my show? Need a guest for your show. Lets connect and have some fun.

MommyTalk delivers motherhood’s gritty, humorous truth
August 24, 2007I have been admiring the sassy and honest discussions of the Beth, Jeanie, and the other “wenches” behind MommyTalk on BlogTalkRadio, the radio offshoot of the MommyMatter.com website.
The site’s motto is “…because motherhood is so much more than diapers and spit-up,” and the hosts definitely deliver as promised. The show has covered everything from important issues for mothers, to pop culture, gossip, astrology, and spooks.
MommyTalk airs on Friday evenings. Tonight’s topic is surviving Postpartum Depression with bloggers Christine aka Deviled Egg, and Megan aka Retro-Housewife.
