One of the video production companies I deal with, Take One Business Communications UK, recently posted this article about IPTV. It was written by John Groves and makes very interesting reading. IPTV will have implications for podcasting, video and web-based tv.

Top blogging tips from Iain Dale

Posted in TV Presenting, UK, Jeremy Jacobs, 2008, presenter at 11:04 am by Jeremy Jacobs

London, UK

Top UK television political pundit and blogger, Iain Dale, shares his blogging tips. Iain, who now reguarly appears on television and radio, agreed to be interviewed by me for Leicester Square Television.

The point Iain makes about being controversial is key. I agree with him. Presenting yourself as a “middle-of-the road” blogger will not attract new readers. Regularity of posting is also important. As Iain says “I’ve created this beast it now needs to be fed”!
