Who is Eccky?
I'm speaking at a conference tomorrow and the organizers sent out a press release on how Eccky is the future of social networking and entertainment. Eccky is what I'll be talking about for the first time in public. This press release was picked up by some weblogs and in no time they had collected everything publicly (= via Google) available on Eccky. My team dinners, important meetings, a few qoutes here and there, etc... Within hours I had several interviews as well with traditional press publications that wanted to know more about Eccky after they read something about it in the 'blogosphere' (their words). Reminds me of something I posted on last week. By the way, why don't bloggers ask questions like most journalists do?
So who is Eccky? More on that after tomorrow, but here's a highlight as it was found by others as well: "..., but basically Eccky is the name of a game where two parents can make, name and raise a virtual child using the MSN Messenger and their mobile phone. See mine to the right..;-)"

Yme, good question, why don't bloggers ask questions like most journalists do?
I think there are two types of bloggers. The first one is a kind of news watcher that only scans his 1,000+ webfeeds and writes about the things he thinks is interesting for his public. No time for questions because in that case you have to wait and before you have the story it's old news. The second type of blogger is the one that brings in-depth articles with lots of background information and discussions. He doesn't need to ask because the mass media already asked everything so he can analyse the articles and write his (of her) own story.
But now the news is out, what did you think about it yourself? Was it good or not good that the blogosphere already mentioned Eccky?
Yes, I definitely think it's a great way of spreading the news. It was not a coincidence that bloggers were able to find some info on Eccky at various websites, we are very much applying lessons learned...
