Jeremiah Owyang discusses how web tools and social media enable companies to connect with customers

Venture Capital Investments Grow, 668 Blog Jobs Available

Nice report from Venture Beat: “VC investments in Web 2.0 companies booming, better study shows”

“Venture capital investments into “Web 2.0″ Internet companies this year are on track to double last year’s levels to about $500 million, according to a new report on the bubbling sector.”

SimplyHired (A job aggregator) shows that there are 668 jobs with the word “BLOG” in it.  I checked this last year and the number was under 10. 90 jobs have the words Podcast in it.  Please note that SimplyHired often repeats job listings (as it gets it from several sources) but it’s an indicator of the changes.
