I'm on local radio this morning — about five seconds on WIOD 610 AM — talking about Facebook. It ran at 7:35 this morning and last night they said it would probably run several times during the morning cycle.

It’s your blog so… I guess you’re entitled to run with an entry that’s clearly about you, Michael Froomkin, breaking into the (small-) (very-small-) big-time of old (older) media (no-video), with a bold, energetic statement about the new media.
I’m inferring the “bold” and “energetic” parts. I hope you’ll forgive me for that inference.
But anyhow, what on earth did you actually say?
Never mind.
Some kind soul emailed me a url for the radio station’s feed. So I listened to the audio.
And I heard what you said. You said, Michael Froomkin said,
And you said it —Michael Froomkin said it— all in five short seconds. Repeatedly.
Repeatedly.
Bravo. Applause.
