Yesterday Lorraine Thompson and I attended the BayBio annual
conference for biotech companies. BayBio is the SF Bay Area biotech trade
group. We attended to network with people in the industry. I’m on the
organization’s Patient Advocacy Committee. We’re looking for an appropriate
working relationship between nonprofit organizations and biotech companies that
supports both the goals of disease-oriented organizations and [...]
Seems that the advent of blogs and, next, vlogs is causing some head-scratching in journalism schools, Here’s a piece from Adam Pendenberg at Wired with some interesting thoughts.

I’ve been pretty amazed at the rate that new audio and video oriented internet sites have been coming online.

Since I’m a proponent of blogging by the Society, I am asked fairly regularly, “Why blog?” You’ve got to come up with something more
compelling than “everybody’s doing it.” So I think about the rationale for it from time to time, like this weekend. The
result is what I call “Why blog? V 2.something.” That means I [...]
They’re young, they’re idealistic – and they don’t care whose industry they change next. A new generation of visionaries and entrepreneurs has come of age on the internet since the dotcom bust. The bloggging phenomenon has been one of the most powerful examples.There is little agreement on exactly what this phnominon protends, let alone what [...]
Be sure to check out the May 2 issue of Business Week. The cover story, Blogs Will Change Your Business, is pretty good. I’m still making my way through the issue but so far, so good. The issue also has a piece on corporate blogging, a profile of a blogger, a glossary and a case [...]
