On this show, we discuss the MAKE TV debut (MakeTV is a new national series from MAKE magazine, Twin Cities Public Television, and American Public Television), Best Buy buyouts, rumors of StarTribune filing bankruptcy, President-elect Obama’s Broadband Plan, and the antics of our guest, Ed Kohler.
Ed is a web strategist working within the real estate industry to help companies and agents make better use of the web to build their businesses. Outside of that, Ed’s an avid blogger on subjects ranging from Technology, to Jucy Lucy Burgers, to local community issues. He also takes on some entrepreneurial projects from time to time like his new 3rdPartyFeedback and LunchTalks.
One local news story Ed is passionate about is the plan for legislation to make yellow pages distributors provide easier opt-out systems.
