2WW: Yahoo News Search, Day 2.  My breakfast with Dave Slusher in Greensboro on Sunday was outstanding. He's another one of those guys whose values are so close a match to my own that I don't think we disagree on anything. After the Yahoo announcement of their podcasting site, I got an email from Ray Slakinski from iPodderX, and I thought of Dave Slusher, and these are two big-hearted guys who have put a lot into building the podcasting world, and neither of them are in the loop with the bigco's here in the valley. What a waste. And I wondered what we could do about it and once I asked the question I immediately had the answer. When you get non-disclosed about something, you are explicitly allowed to share the information with people in your own company with a need to know. So if one member of a product team goes to visit a platform vendoer, the whole team is actually being briefed, which saves travel expenses, and is efficient and good. So there's the answer. Form a corporation, with highly trustworthy developers, bloggers and podcasters, for the purpose of sharing information about new product releases, the same way professional news organizations and professional software developers do. I may just do this, because I'm tired of only getting superficial coverage of new products when they're released. The people whose opinions I really care about never get briefed before-hand and therefore never have a chance to help make the product better before it's too late.
