I'm sure you know about Mark Cuban. Broadcast.com founder and owner of the Dallas Mavericks? He is pretty techy of course and started to blog. He's gonna blog alot I can tell.
He is always getting fined for talking to the press about the referee's or whatever bugs him in the NBA. The NBA hate that. (kinda like the FCC)
So he now has a solution. From yesterday's entry regarding a fine and reporters questions about the NBA's decision:
"It was then I told them that rather than providing any commentary or quotes to them on this matter, or on any upcoming matters, I would be posting whatever I had to say on my blog. They were not happy.
"How are we going to ask you follow up questions?" I explained that he could email me directly or from the site, but that I would most likely post his question and my response. "Is the league sending a message that they didn't want you talking to reporters?" Ding ding ding. Give him a lollipop.
I went on to explain that this was the best way for all of us. They could get all the quotes and information they needed. "Will this be just you writing it, or will you dictate it to someone else?"
The satisfaction of knowing that each will have to explain to their editors what a blog is - and argue for who knows how long about whether or not BlogMaverick.com is an attributable source - crept over me and that jaunt on the gauntlet (treadmill) flew by.
Time for the game: GO MAVS!"
