Is it September 10th yet?
So as I mentioned previously I’m starting my new job as an online analyst at New Media Strategies on Sept. 10. The downside of this is the fact that I’m missing out on all the kick ass stuff they’re doing at the two party conventions. As I write this, a few of my coworkers are at the Pepsi Center with credentialed blogger passes.
I’m also having to miss out on the work they’re doing with C-SPAN. They’ve created an entire convention hub for both Democrats and Republicans. Over the next two weeks my future coworkers are providing around-the-clock coverage of the blogosphere, particularly focusing in on those blogs that are covering the conventions. The Hub also includes Twitter feeds and NMS employees are on the ground at the conventions themselves in order to facilitate the coverage.
William Beutler has a good summary of what they’re doing and the hub has also been picked up by TechCrunch and several other major sites.
But I still have to wait two more weeks before I can join in on the action. By then, the conventions will be long over with.
