The press release says it all. I'm thrilled to be working with Phil Hollows and Tom Evslin. I agreed to do this a few months ago, but it took a little while to put it in digital ink.
I met with them in New York, before BlogHer's Business Conference. Two geeks (and I mean that in only the nicest way) who crackle with ideas. I can already tell my role will be collecting that energy and helping to showcase it.
Truly, I feel Feedblitz is onto something and can help bridge the gap between established publishers who are seeking to integrate social media practices and technologies (RSS, blogging) and bloggers who already are using these technologies and raising the bar of their enterprises to top-tier media company caliber. There are some cool new features that FeedBlitz has incorporated (newsletter generation via Twitter, anyone?) and some more that are on the near-horizon.
I'm excited to be working with the FeedBlitz team!
Congrats Jory! That's awesome news.
I assume you're still at BlogHer as well though, right?

Hi Laura! I'm breaking my cardinal rule of not commenting on my own blog! But to be clear, I am in an advisory role with FeedBlitz. BlogHer is still my full-time gig. My baby, if you will.
