Spot-On Spotlight

For a few months now, we've been telling you that Spot-on's a syndication service. And we've been saying our writers are available for little or no cash. Today we demonstrate that our talk is not cheap.

Spot-on's pleased to announce the beginning of a syndication relationship with the East Bay Express, a weekly based in Emeryville, CA serving much of San Francisco's East Bay. We started this a few weeks ago - in the quiet holiday season - but the kinks are worked out and we're ready to go public.

And if you edit a news web site, produce a TV or radio show you might think about adding any of our fine writers to your editorial mix. Our syndication fees are reasonable - no cash needed - our writers responsible and our editorial as sticky as fly-paper. Interested? Drop Founder Chris Nolan a line. She's got all the details about pricing, availability and delivery.

We have a few other deals like this in the works as well as other changes in the new year. We'll keep you posted.

Our newsletter - it's free, it's fun and we won't sell your name to anyone - is also a nice way to stay in touch with what we're doing with all phases of our business. You can sign up here.

In a July post from New Delhi, "Living with Terror" Gopika Kaul wrote the following sentence: "This year is proving to be deadly for India - literally."

Yesterday, with a series of violent attacks in southen Mumbai - the city you may know as Bombay - her fears and those of many other India citizens were realized. And while regular Spot-on readers may be shocked by the attacks in Mumbai you are probably less suprised than others. Gopika's been telling us about "India Mujaideen" since mid-summer.

For the past few months Gopika Kaul has been chronicling the growing sense of dread in her country. She's spelled out some of the roots of the conflict between the region's Muslims and Hindus in "It's Happened. Again" and she's wondered, with others, about the Indian police forces responses to the attacks in "A Constant Presence."

There's more writing and analysis like this here at Spot-on, plenty more. So if you edit a news web site, produce a TV or radio show you might join us out here ahead of the news curve and think about adding any of our fine writers to your editorial mix. Our syndication fees are reasonable - no cash needed, in some circumstances - our writers responsible and our editorial as sticky as fly-paper. Interested? Drop Doug Page, Spot-on's syndication guru a line. He's got all the details about pricing, availability and delivery.

Our newsletter - it's free, it's fun and we won't sell your name to anyone - is also a nice way to stay in touch with what we're doing with all phases of our business. You can sign up here.

Many science fiction movies have a common plot: The machines created by humans rise up to take power over their creators. And while the real world version is far more benign, our addiction to knowledge has created a world where... More >

I don't make New Year's resolutions, for most of us they're empty promises just waiting to be broken by the second or third week of January. That's because resolutions are usually negative - especially the food-related resolutions: I will lose... More >

Gopika Kaul - Pakistan's Offensive Tactics - December 26

Each time Pakistanis are faced with uncomfortable questions about the toxic terror nexus on its soil, it either denies the allegations, especially if they are made by India, or, it points a finger at the accuser, the oldest of time-delaying-attention-diverting tactics. Facts don't seem to matter, not when they point to Pakistan's involvement in events unpalatable. More >

Mike Spinney - My Christmas Yarmulke - December 23

I'm just little suspicious of anyone who thinks overdoing Christmas in the weeks after Thanksgiving makes up for eleven months of decidedly non-Christian living.  And don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those folks who gets upset when someone says "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Both are perfectly valid ways to greet friends, enemies, strangers, business associates, and family. More >

Mike Spinney - Not So Nice New England Ice - December 18

Apart from the main thoroughfares, the roads here remain littered with trees and wires. Off the main routes, the damage this storm visited upon the region is vividly apparent. Few trees were spared, losing tops and limbs under the weight of the heavy ice that coated them during the overnight storm (which the National Weather Service warned as late as Thursday might only amount to a "light glazing").

Jeanne Jackson - Foreclosure's Disappearing Act - December 17

I'm seeing more and more houses with The Look: Empty windows, a few pieces of debris on the front lawn, no cars. Soon a "For Sale" sign will go up and then, inevitably, "For Rent." This area of the Shenandoah... More >
