People ask me for a beat blogging elevator pitch. Here’s a quick attempt at it.

In this video I talk about.

• What beat blogging is
• The first big obstacle we’ve noticed
• Rolodex 2.0
• Power of the Posse
• Public versus Private Networks (being the center of conversation versus getting a scoop)

The most important thing to note: ANYONE CAN DO THIS. It takes almost no money. The only barrier is committing your time or as Amy points out: Finding a way to turn turn the network into a tool so that you can get work done through it.
