If you're an IABC member, the May edition of CW Bulletin is a must-read for getting some excellent insight into all the primary new communication technologies ...

... blogs, wikis, RSS and podcasts - and their relevance to organizational communicators.

CW Bulletin is an online supplement to Communication World magazine. Published monthly, it features timely articles on critical communication issues, trend analysis and helpful resources, plus updates on current IABC programmes.

The features - written by Tudor Williams, Debbie Weil, Dan Forbush, Sally Falkow, Pete Blackshaw and Neville Hobson (that's me) - analyze and discuss these topics:

1. Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts: new toys or tactics for new challenges?


2. Seven Tips to Writing an Effective Blog


3. How Blogs and Wikis Differ


4. Podcasting: Adding an Informal Touch to Organizational Communication


5. RSS, Search Engine Visibility and Brand Perception


6. Communication in the News: Should Businesses Embrace the Blogging Phenomenon?

It's a terrific collection of knowledge and thinking that I am sure you will find of tremendous value if you want to get a clear look at all of these new communication tools and channels from a business and communication point of view. Jessica Burnette-Lemon, CW's assistant editor, and Natasha Spring, CW's editor, have done a superb job in putting together this edition of CW Bulletin.
