Following Brendan's Lead

We just followed Brendan Greeley's lead as described in the section "Playing nice with bloggers" in the Current article here:

http://www.current.org/web/web0615opensource.shtml

and invited two guest bloggers to talk about Real Estate in the discussion for our locally produced edition of Here and Now.

We also followed Bill Swersey from WNYC's advice about NOT moderating the discussion prior to the show.

As a result, over the course of the show, we had an amazing 60+ posts here:

In listening to the broadcast unfold, it was great to hear how our listeners posting to the web really become a part of the show. If you would like to hear an archived version of this broadcast check out:

Thanks to the folks at Radio Open Source for the advice and for pioneering this format!
