Welcome to Something for Nothing

I’ve finally taken the plunge and followed along a bunch of my friend bloggers that are doing The News Room. I really thought it was an interesting concept when I first saw it, but I wasn’t sure how well it would be executed and how profitable it will be. I must admit that I’m still a bit skeptical, but I figured I’d give it a try. I figure I also have a number of blogs and a couple have a pretty good amount of search engine traffic around TV related topics so maybe I could do pretty well with it.

In fact, my first New Room post is a video talking about Isaiah Washington getting the boot off the hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy. Take a look:

Well, I think it’s sad that Burke is gone. I liked his character and they had built some really good story lines around him. It’s unfortunate that he can’t speak freely without repercussions to his job. However, he is in the spotlight and so I guess it kind of makes sense that he needs to watch himself.

I think I might have problem with newsroom, because I don’t think that Wordpress.com supports it. I’ll have to try later and see. However, Wordpress.com is quite strict about what they allow to be posted on their site. I think that the embedded flash widget (at least that’s what it looks like) is probably not going to work. Not to mention some of the javascript functions. Did you hear me News Room? Wordpress.com would be great for you to tap into.
