And Now the News...

Things are changing here at Current Thinking from Brad Gibson. So here are some news items you need to be aware of:
1) Effective immediately the Bradcast brand is no more. There are too many other Bradcast's out there and since I did not trademark the term when I originated my podcast back in 2004, I cannot get anyone to respect the title. Other Brad's have decided to usurp the name and, frankly, I don't want the Bradcast to become associated with their product. So you will soon be hearing your last Bradcast. Fear not there is something far better that will replace it.
2) Current Thinking Radio is "On the Air". That's right, you can reach my re-branded podcast over at www.currentthinkingradio.com or at www.ctiweb.net. I'll have more to say about Current Thinking Radio in the coming weeks and for you late switchers on the RSS feed, I'll be offering a double-helping of Current Thinking Radio both at the home site and here.
3) Full feeds are probably going to go away. I have been relentlessly pilfered from on a regular basis and I'm sick of seeing my feeds being mugged by sploggers. They are systematically stealing and reposting my content. That, and I have become the target of some pretty predicatable site attacks that have managed to cause my feed to hiccup on occasion over the past few months. If you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them, however I think most of the automated stuff will be easily defeated by going to partial feeds. That will mean you will have to click through to the site to read my full text. If this offends your sense of RSS purity then please unsubscribe. I am also personally annoyed that Google Reader does not count the number of subscribers in its feed, so to get an accurate count, it's time to come and visit the site.
4) Current Thinking from Brad Gibson will be getting more personal, more musical, a little more theatrical and somewhat more friendly over the next little while. I figure a namesake blog should be, well, more namesakeical. What about the tech wit, business acuity and trenchant comment though, you ask? You of course were thinking of another blog. I will still be attempting to put some kind of focus on technology, business and leadership over at currentthinkingradio.com and currentthinking.net. Both of those sites will explore themes that matter to technical business types, tech workers, creative marketers and managers. It's time to break out some of these topics and this little domain was just too small. There are feeds galore at all of these sites so get your feed reader warmed up.

So there you have it -- an early spring cleaning. If you have any ideas or suggestions then please get in touch.
