Measuring the Value of Your Blog: Reflections Over the Last Year

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:48:30 PDT
My blog is worth $314,448.78. How much is your blog worth? I'm thinking about writing the description for the WeAreMedia Module 6: Considering the ROI for this week. Okay, I'm procrastinating. I was inspired by Connie Bensen, a community strategist, who shared a post celebrating the success of her blog over the past year. About a year ago, I decided to benchmark my blog using some tips suggested by Avinash Kaushik. A year ago, he said that measuring outcomes for social media is, "a

Building a Team with Contractors and Freelancers

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:47:43 PDT
What makes a great team? Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” That quote got me to thinking about the 21st Century version of a small business team. Usually we think of a work team as involving employees. However, today’s small business teams are likely to consist of a business owner working together with a group of freelancers and independent contractors, instead of employees. (After all, in the U.S. 20.4 million

It’s Good to Be: The Minnesota Twins

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:15:39 PDT
Heard on sports radio today: How about those freakin’ Minnesota Twins? Lose the best pitcher in baseball - that honor may go to Tim Lincecum now - and nobody expects them to contend in the Central with the free-spending Tigers or supposedly-powerful Tribe. Quick, fun, game: Find an 'analyst' that picked the Twins to reach the postseason.] Currently, the Twins are half a game up on the White Sox, and here’s the good news: Of Minnesota’s 50 games left, a whopping 23 are against Seattle (9), Ka

It is also being suggested in the cowboy community that cowboys start kissing each other on both cheeks after each bull ride. Tonight on the Fifth Estate. CBC. Because we are pansies a

Oh, What A Feeling!

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:17:31 PDT
Talk about a wonderful feeling. Hubby and I got so much accomplished this weekend. In fact, I said to him that what we got done was the most we’ve been able to get done in a long time. And then he got called into work. Heh. The C shift supervisor called around 7:30 last night, wondering why hubby hadn’t yet shown up for his overtime shift. Hubby was incensed, because his normal supervisor had told him the other day that all overtime for the weekend had been canceled. It hadn’t, and luckily th

ATLANTA (AP) � Skip Caray, a voice of the Atlanta Braves for 33 years and part of a family line of baseball broadcasters that included Hall of Famer Harry Caray, died in his sleep at home on Sunday, the team said. He was 68.

The cause of death was not immediately known, but various health problems had limited Caray to calling only Braves home games this season.

"We've all lost a very good friend," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "For me, he was a good buddy � at the park and away from the park. We always had a lot of great laughs. He will be very sorely missed."

Caray was drawn into broadcasting by his father, Harry, the longtime voice of the Chicago Cubs and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The family line has continued with two of Skip Caray's sons. Chip Caray is part of the Braves broadcast team and Josh Caray is working on the radio for the Class A Rome Braves.

While his father was known for his declarations of "Holy Cow," Skip Caray was able to declare "Braves Win! Braves Win!" with regularity as the team won 14 consecutive division titles beginning in 1991 and the 1995 World Series.

"Our baseball community has lost a legend today," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "The Braves family and Braves fans everywhere will sadly miss him. Our thoughts are with his wife Paula and his children."

Caray and Pete Van Wieren have been broadcasting Braves games since 1976. Caray's sarcastic wit made him a popular lead voice of the broadcast team, and his fame grew nationally as TBS carried Braves games to a national audience for 30 years.

After decades of calling the Braves America's Team, TBS this year began a seven-year contract of national weekly telecasts, leaving the Braves to the regional Peachtree TV network � and leaving Caray to radio work on home games.

Health problems also cut into Caray's workload.

Caray said this year he was battling diabetes, congestive heart failure, an irregular heartbeat and reduced kidney and liver functions.

"I almost died in October (2007)," Caray told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the Braves' 2008 home opener.

Still, Caray's death came as a shock, even to those who worked closely with him.

"He's had some medical issues but you're never ready for something like this," longtime TBS producer Glenn Diamond said Sunday night. "We're all very shocked by the timing. It's a very sad day for family and for Braves fans. I think the Braves fans feel they're part of Skip's family."

Caray, a St. Louis native, started in local radio and later joined his father at the University of Missouri calling football.

He joined the St. Louis Hawks NBA broadcasting team and followed them to Atlanta in 1968. He was added to the Braves broadcast team in 1976.

Caray and Van Wieren were inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2005. Caray was named Georgia sportscaster of the year six times.

"He had a huge impact on a lot of people's lives and he had a huge impact on my life," Diamond said. "During the season we spent more time together than we did with our families and our lives."

Caray is survived by his wife and four children.

The Braves said funeral arrangements will be announced later.
