Thinking Blogging is the new thing? Try Blogging in Stereo

Blogging may feel like the newest and hippest thing in the PR world... especially to some of us in this PR 191 world.. but it may actually not be the most cutting edge tool for PR professionals out there on the web. Let me introduce you to PR in stereo- BlogTalkRadio. No spell check necessary, no grammar checks to make sure you look professional, just talk. BlogTalkRadio allows you to host a live talk show online about anything from entertainment, to religion, or even blogs.

In other PR news, the biggest celebrity-hype time of the year is approaching- Oscar time . One of the biggest surprises was the best-supporting actress nomination for Jennifer Hudson (pictured in middle), a past American Idol hopeful. Others nominated in the best- supporting actress category include Cate Blanchett in "Notes of a Scandal" and Rinko Kinkuchi in "Babel." Hudson is nominated for her role in Dreamgirls where she played along-side Beyonce Knowles and Eddie Murphy, also nominated for an Oscar. It just goes to show that anything can happen to anyone who tries hard enough and dreams hard enough.
