HR/Employment Blogosphere update for April 3, 2005

We’re now ready for week two of audio-recording this blogosphere update.

Hopefully, a few lessons have been learned. One is that I will do separate segments, rather than one long monologue.

Also, if all goes according to plan, there will soon be a podcast feed.

[Update: after a couple of hours of recording, I haven't mastered this technology, to put it politely. So for now, it's back to naked links. When I've got the podcasting stuff pulled together, I will announce it. This is highly frustrating!]
