Making It Right – Kiptronic Comes Through

10/5/2007 By Michael

As some of you who attended the “Making Money with Sponsorships and Advertising” panel at last week’s Podcast and New Media Expo know, a question was asked during the Q&A about the presentation I made on Friday covering our experiences with the average time to get paid by 3rd party ad networks at GigaVox Media. In response to the questioner, Jonathan Cobb of Kiptronic said, “…there were some factual inaccuracies in some of the things that Michael said specifically about my company, in that session, and I won’t go into any more detail because I have the highest degree of respect for Michael.” As you might imagine, this caught me off guard. I work diligently to be accurate in all my presentations and knew I had been especially careful and was accurate regarding Kiptronic.

Because some audience members were left with the impression I might have been playing fast and loose with my data, I contacted Jonathan to find out what was going on. Sure enough, we had a great conversation and discovered that Jonathan made the comment based on some incorrect information forwarded to him by a 3rd party. (We all know how the game telephone works.) To correct the record, Jonathan asked that we remove his comment from the final audio we’re producing for the PNME. We agreed to this.

Everyone makes mistakes, and I think it speaks volumes about Jonathan Cobb and his company, Kiptronic, that this was quickly discussed and rectified.

    Indeed, miscommunications do happen and that’s what happened here. I had received some incorrect information and was not aware of the big picture, which was more nuanced.

    I’m glad that Michael promptly called it to my attention and that we were able to work things out amicably. I apologize for any confusion that might have led to any doubt whatsoever on Michael’s integrity, which in my experience is top-notch.

    […] Right out of the gate the Podcast Expo presentations set the tone for our new take on things. Michael Geoghegan (Podcasting’s Jimmy Stewart) called our industry to task in the first round of presentations in the first morning and although he ruffled some feathers (how could he not?), it looks like the parties involved have all made up.

    […] Michael Geoghegan spoke at last year’s Podcasting and New Media Expo and dropped a bomb that got reactions from people all throughout the podcasting community. I’ve been waiting for this presentation to hit the web and now it has finally been published. Michael stated in his blog that he hopes this will clear up any noise that’s been generated by people who actually didn’t hear the presentation: While many podcasting “thought leaders” refer to it, given their comments, any fair listen will reveal they have never actually heard it, they have only “heard of it”. (In fact, one podcasting big wig had to retract his statement about it.) I challenge any of the podcasting glitterati to disagree with its basic premise. In truth, it is a surprisingly optimistic and practical presentation for new media producers. […]
