Thanks for your great thoughts and gentle prodding as we venture into this wild new world of shared media. We are all diving into an unprecedented revolution in the way our users find and consumer information and media. And we at WCCO are working hard to reach out and work with local bloggers and other citizen journalists in cooperative ways. Frankly... that's a key piece of our plan for this "bloginar" series. We want to solicit feedback and act upon it. I will tell you that embeddable video is a large part of our company's strategy and I'm hopeful we'll be able to offer something on that soon. Sorry to hear you will be out of town for next week's gathering. After getting some feedback from the crowd next Thursday -- we'll plan another one soon. I'd welcome your thoughts by e-mail or in person any time. Best... -John Daenzer Director of New Media WCCO | WCCO.COM Steve…

I know we've been working on upgrading our video player so that we can embed video. No one in town has the rich RSS feeds that we provide, so we've really been at the forefront of freeing up our content. Strangely, you can embed CBS News.com video, but you can't do the same with ours. It's in the works. As for the blog ad network, most bloggers are currently making zero dollars. To me, it'd be cool to make one dollar. But that's just me. Thanks for your thoughts on this. I know we’ve been working on upgrading our video player so that we can embed video.
