Bids and blogs

By: Ray Pellecchia

Having immodestly noted every time HybridTalk gets mentioned in the press, could not pass up the opportunity to note that last Wednesday's post about Nasdaq got picked up in The Wall Street Journal's "Bids & Offers" column on Saturday. Column is subscription-only.

Another interesting pickup, though not of that particular post, was in The New Market Machines blog, which reported on NYSE Regulation's new Ask Market Surveillance initiative -- a software-based legal research tool -- which NMM called a "darned good idea." No argument here.

NMM also praised the idea of HybridTalk being "an open two-way conversation with your users," and tweaked this space (and all bloggers) for boasting about media coverage. This blogging is a funny thing. If you post coverage, you appear self-obsessed and self-promotional. If you don't post it, your audience may well wonder why not -- did you have a problem with the article, are you being less than open? Given that choice, I'm erring on the side of bragging and disclosure.

Aw, don't take it badly. You still get credit for blog-marketing best practices, and the bulk of your posts ARE in the all-important "How Hybrid Works" category, which is what your readers will be hungry for. So go ahead, toot your own blog horn once in a while. Might as well have fun, too. :-)
