Flip Video Gets Reviewed in The New York Times

One of my favorite tech reviewers is David Pogue in The New York Times.  Finally, he has reviewed the Flip Video and he really likes it.  You have to read the review and watch the video of Pogue and his clones demonstrating the differences between a camcorder and the Flip.

I got my Flip about 9 months ago, the original version. The new Ultra Flip has an attachment for a tripod which makes it a heck of a lot easier to shoot video of yourself.

Next week Patsi and I will be at a 3 day marketing seminar. We're bringing our Flips so we can shoot a bunch of video tips for you. Stay tuned! And, if you want to get going with video, get a Flip. It's about as easy as it gets.

Blog vs. Ezine Debate continues

The blog vs. ezine debate rages on. Nearly every week Patsi and I get asked which is better, should a professional have a blog AND an ezine, etc., etc. In our monthly Blogging and Beyond mentor session this week, the questions came up several times.

Always one to take up a challenge, my partner Patsi Krakoff has started a series of posts on Writing on the Web, to address the blog vs. ezine debate and the evolving nature of ezines.
