Biznik is one of the coolest business networking sites around. Based in Seattle and spreading quickly across the land. Below is an article that you can find there. Penned by yours truly about one of my favorite subjects:

Lynn Interviewed by Ragan Communications: The Powerful Voice of Steve Jobs
I was recently interviewed by reporter Christine Kent, who writes for my favorite corporate communications website, Ragan.com.
The subject was Steve Jobs, and the qualities that make him one of the century’s best presenters. The whole article is here. And below is the verbatim of my interview with Christine:
Christine: Is Steve Jobs, by your definition, a “good […]
Straight Talk Depress
Christmas, for me, comes once every four years. I bathe in the political season - all 18 months of it. I love the oratory, the drama and of course those “you can’t make up this stuff” surprises. I marvel at the maneuvering, and snicker at the snide. I also watch closely for the cues that I can […]
Putting Lipstick on the Negative Ads
It seems to me there is a fair amount of passive-aggression going on, and I don’t think it serves the process of election well.

I’ve been tapped as an expert on many of Bulldog’s panels, and I love to do them. Bulldog […]
A Sad State of TV Affairs
I have to say I’m not surprised by this article , written by a journalism professor at USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism. The upshot is that TV News has become the pariah of the journalistic community. Not just for news consumers old enough to remember good TV news, but even for experienced reporters and young students who […]
So This is It. Isn’t It?
Two very important speeches tonight. I consider them the reward for the political junkies who have spent five months - ah, who are we kidding, the last year - enthralled by each campaign stop; each beer shooter; gutter ball and each slur thrown from the pulpit.
One of my favorite political strategists said this morning that […]
