The year 2006 was as exciting a period in communications as I can remember.

I review the year that ... nearly ... was in the latest episode of my Talking Communications with Farrell Kramer podcast. Technology drove a lot of the excitement. For example, we talked earlier in the year about topics such as search engine optimized and social media press releases, corporate blogging, new media outlets and RSS distribution. But there were also celebrity and corporate scandals, the advertising vs. PR balance of power, the changing role of journalists, and other similar issues.
