Meet the Technologizers: All About Ed

Thursday, January 22, 2009

When I started Technologizer back in June of last year, it was never my intention to be a one man band. I knew I wanted a bunch of other folks contributing–in part because I can’t crank out an unlimited number of words a day, but mostly because I wanted the site to benefit from the [...]

Just a quick note on some places you’ll find me other than Technologizer: –I just launched a new blog! It’s called McCracken on Media, and it’s aimed at folks like me who are riding the bucking bronto that is the media business in 2008 and beyond. I plan to share much of what I learn as [...]

Got a growing business? Then I think you’ll like Anita Campbell’s Small Business Trends, a Web site that’s chock-full of real-world advice for small companies that don’t want to stay that way. At the moment, it’s also spotlighting some advice from…well, me: I was invited to contribute to the site’s Small Business Success Center, [...]

I’m tickled to report that my friend David Spark recently interviewed me for his Be the Voice blog and podcast, and has posted the results here.

When folks ask me about how Technologizer is doing, I say that it’s doing very nicely indeed–but it’s still in soft-launch mode. That means that we’ll be rolling out a number features that haven’t yet appeared–and one of those features will be contributions from folks other than me. Those contributors will be freelancers, not staffers, and [...]

During the past few weeks since I announced this Web site, I’ve been delighted by the response. But whenever anybody’s asked me when it was launching–and boy, have a lot of folks done so–I’ve been vague and shifty. “Soon,” I’ve said. “Soon.” And then I’ve tried to change the subject. Let the evasiveness end. I’m ready [...]
