Talkin’ Cloud: Our Expanded Editorial Team and Contacts

Each of Nine Lives Media’s IT channel communities — Talkin’ Cloud, MSPmentor and The VAR Guy — continues to evolve. Readers ask me all the time: Who are the most ideal editorial contacts for each site? Here are the answers — including a few new names here on Talkin’ Cloud.

When we launched Nine Lives Media in 2008, we gradually blended experienced editors with up-and-coming bloggers who are social media experts.

Here on Talkin’ Cloud, our expanding blogger lineup includes new voices such as Brian Taylor, Charles Costa and Christopher Arlotta. Check out Talkin’ Cloud on March 7 for the debut of those new voices. Feel free to email me (joe [at] NineLivesMediaInc [dot] com) or Contributing Lead Editor Charlene O’Hanlon (charlene [at] NineLivesMediaInc [dot] com) and we’ll route your inquiry to the most appropriate blogger.

Also, today was former contributing blogger Matt Weinberger’s final day blogging on Talkin’ Cloud and we wish him well as Matt moves onto a new opportunity in Silicon Valley.

On our sister sites:

• MSPmentor: Channel Insider veteran Jessica Davis joined us March 1, and she now oversees day-to-day editorial content. Dan Berthiaume covers SMB issues, John Moore covers vertical market opportunities, and Nicholas Mukhar continues his analysis from the heart of Silicon Valley.
• The VAR Guy: Charlene O’Hanlon continues to oversee day-t0-day editorial content while contributing blogger David Courbanou remains on the leading edge of hot channel trends — from mobility to security. And Christopher Tozzi continues to track open source and other disruptive technologies in the channel. And of course, The VAR Guy himself continues to blog from his secret channel location…

Each of our websites contains a contact page for our editorial and sales team members, including:

• MSPmentor/contact-us
• thevarguy.com/contact-us/
• talkincloud.com/talk-with-us/our-staff/

We’ll be updating those pages with some new bios in the days ahead.

Meanwhile, my role remains largely unchanged. I continue tracking and blogging about the latest IT channel trends across all three of our sites. And I continue to work closely with Nine Lives President Amy Katz and our business management team to drive our websites and online communities forward.

Thanks for your readership and continued feedback.
