Welcome to the New ZimmComm.biz
Once again Robert has done an awesome job designing and building the “corporate” ZimmComm New Media blog. I’ve been posting very lightly here in anticipation of this day. ZimmComm New Media is celebrating 3 years in business and over 2 years of helping companies find their way in this new online communications world we live in. Starting today I’ll be …
Converting to a Mac
I’ve been learning a whole new computer this weekend. A Macbook Pro. It’s the big switch or perhaps a conversion. Anyway, I’ve heard so much about them that I got one last week. I’ll be finding out if they’re all I’ve heard. So far, so good. Besides this computer I’m also keeping and using my Dell notebook too. That makes …

Example number one: Beef Board Meeting. This cattle producer-targeted website now …
iPhone Me
Don’t think I didn’t hear the announcement yesterday of the iPhone. MacWorld Expo is going on and Steve Jobs made the announcement. If you think this is just a neat looking new cell phone then think again. It’s a widescreen iPod, phone and internet communications device. It’s almost enough to make me want to switch from Sprint to Cingular since you’ll only be able to use one with just the one carrier (bummer). Watch the keynote address and iphone introduction.
Podcasts on Zune
For those of you (like me) who were wondering why Microsoft would spend millions pushing a digital audio player that doesn’t let you auto subscribe to podcasts – wonder no more. Now you can FeedYourZune.
Listen to the Blog Business Success Show
The Blog Business Success show went well last night I think. Hosted by Wayne Hurlbert, Blog Business World. You can still find the Blog Business Success Radio show on Blog Talk Radio. We had a nice hour long conversation which you can still listen to if you missed it live. We talked about agricultural communications, Talking News Releases, blogging, podcasting …
Live Podcast Call-in Show Tonight
One of the first people I found when I got started blogging was Wayne Hurlbert, Blog Business World. It was a lot of his ideas about how to use a blog as a business communications tool that formed some of my ideas about how to use this great platform. Well, Wayne’s a podcaster too and on something called Blog Talk …

According to a new report from the PEW Internet and American Life Project the number of people who have downloaded a podcast is growing. Quite quickly it seems to me. This graphic is from eMarketer.com where I saw the report first.
