News: PodTech and Tom Foremski, the Silicon Valley Watcher

Categories: Web IndustryPosted on March 29th, 2007

Last night, I witnessed Tom Foremski sign papers with CEO and Founder John Furrier as a content partner. Tom is an innovator in media and as a former mainstream media guy that started his blog in the earlier days.

“…In 1999 he joined the Financial Times’ San Francisco bureau fulltime to help expand the newspaper’s coverage of US technology markets and Silicon Valley. He left the Financial Times in 2004 and continues to write columns on Silicon Valley for the Financial Times, and on his personal site, SiliconValleyWatcher.com“

Welcome Tom, you’re one of the powerhouse bloggers, the following video shares the moment of signing.

If you watch the video, you'll hear this addressed.

A content partner is someone who creates high quality video and audio for the podtech network, typically around a particular theme.

Martin McKeay of the PodTech Security Channel is one example, 1938 Media, Matt Carr of Next Gear, and the list goes on.

The producers have their own editorial agenda, which is not dictated by PodTech or it's clients.

As you know, I've my own show on "Web Strategy" as does Scoble and Irina, who are also full-time employees of PodTech.

For more details, I can put you in touch with the right folks.
