This week, I’m soft-launching the new weekly 4-Minute Roundup — or 4MR — audio report from MediaShift. I will embed the audio here in a blog post, and will make it available via iTunes for you to subscribe. Each Friday, I’ll look at the week’s top stories, give an overview of what’s been happening, answer one of your “burning questions” and give results of the latest reader poll on MediaShift. As this is a work in progress, your feedback is definitely welcome. And if you have burning questions for future 4MRs, please leave them via the Feedback Form on the site or in the comments.
Here’s this week’s report:
