Posted by bsobel on 13 January, 2007
I started my blog late last year using blogger nymieg.blogspot. and have been quite happy with it…it has some nice features, pretty easy to navigate and stuff like that. However I met with my buddy Fred Seibert who recommended I try WordPress so I decided to give it a try. Let’s see what happens.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, NY:MIEG The New York: Media Information Exchange Group
NY:MIEG (New York: Media Information Exchange Group) is a group of media (and related) professionals who meet monthly in NYC.
Friendships are renewed and made anew, ideas are explored and we try to make sense of the most profound changes in Media’s history. On a deeper level, staying abreast of change maintains our relevancy on any given topic…and this forum is one of continuing education!
The membership attracts Media Professionals primarily from New York City; however the membership continues to grow as far away as California and beyond.
