Website Redesign: Your Turn!

I’m trying to add comments and a few other features to our detail pages (such as this one) and I’ve just run out of real estate. There’s just nowhere to add comments unless I put them waaay down at the bottom of the page. I think it’s finally time for a full-site redesign. The current IT Conversations and SI Conversations sites are (IMHO) pretty damn ugly. Very “heavy”. Cluttered. Confusing.

Now it’s your turn. What media web sites do you like and why? What other recommendations do you have for the IT Conversations and Social Innovation Conversations web sites?

Please read and post comments on The Conversations Network Forum.

Podcasting Reaches 18.5 Million

eMarketer 2007eMarketer estimates that the total US podcast audience reached 18.5 million in 2007. Furthermore, that audience will increase by 251% to 65 million in 2012. And of those listeners, 25 million will be “active” users who tune in at least once a week. Driven by this audience growth, US spending on podcast-related advertising (including sponsorships) will rise to $435 million in 2012, up from $165 million in 2007. The situation might change in time, but for now podcasts are mainly a desktop phenomenon as opposed to a mobile or portable one.
