More Positive Reinforcement

Three more good comments at the Podcasting & New Media Expo. (A "good comment" is defined as one that reinforces my prejudices, of course... ;-)

From John C. Havens of BlogTalkRadio, talking about corporate use of blogs and podcasts as a significant part of their communications strategy: The days of Corporate-Speak and monologues are dying if not dead. Learn how genuinely to speak to your audience - or they'll find someone who will.

From Kent Nichols, creator of "Ask a Ninja," when asked about criticism from the many people who become critical and start accusing them of selling out when they begin to make money through their work on the Web: They can pay my rent!
