  1. Please remind the folks at Ragan that they need to introduce themselves before they start their spiel. (E.g. “Hi, I’m _______ from Ragan Communications.”) It’s jarring to have an unidentified voice, and the introduction will also help make it clearer that what we’re about to hear from one of the show’s sponsors.

  2. P.S. As Stefan pointed out to me, any online poll is going to be skewed in favor of the Internet as a source of news.

  3. Sallie, I’m writing a blog post to that very point right now. I made some additional points in a comment to Stowe Boyd’s blog, but neglected to include that one.

  4. Hi Shel, hi Neville,

    As promised here is my new comment.

    This time, I would like to inform you that I posted an interview about WELCOM, the upcoming social network of the World Economic Forum.

    I know that, in the past weeks, you talked about “davos conversations”, and the “davos questions” campaign in your show.

    I hope you may find this interesting.

    Once again, congratulations for your great work!

    Take care…
