Everybody's up and running fast after the holiday weekend we had here in the U.S. I'll herd a few cats as a mid-week update:

Mary Schmidt and Neville Hobson have both recently debuted beautifully redesigned blogs.

Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson have announced they'll produce a podcast series leading up to the June IABC conference. Shel has also fired up an IABC-sponsored Communication Commons interactive "blog community" site for business communicators.

We welcome Evelyn Rodriguez back from a two-month trip to Asia as part of a citizen journalism project.

Susan Getgood is working on material for a workshop on the changing nature of blogs; she's posted links to the things she's been reading as she prepares, and it's a post worth checking out.

Toby Bloomberg posted another in her Biz Blog Profile Series, "a behind the scene look at how corporations, non profits, higher education institutions and arts organizations are using blogs to support their marketing goals." This one's an interview with Tim Jackson, Brand Manager of Masi Bicycles.
