I can’t honestly remember when I made this “News” category or why. I presume I must have had some news that wasn’t really a blog article but something I wanted to share. Probably, if I looked through the archives, I would know. But I am lazy. Anyway, being interviewed by a news agency seems like a good time to put a post in my News category.
Remember that hilarious blog article I wrote on Couple Dating? Well, Adam saw on a website/email (or something that he follows) that a reporter wanted help with an article she was writing about couple dating. Adam forwarded me the info and I sent a quick email to Elizabeth Bernstein from the WALL STREET JOURNAL! She got back to me, after reading my blog post, and interviewed me for an hour or so.
And from that interview, Elizabeth created Couples Dating: When Four Play the Dating Game which features me (somewhat briefly). So that’s my claim to fame for today.
This brings up some thoughts on journalism and journalists in general, but I think I will save that for another post. But, for those counting, I believe this is now the second time I’ve been in the news for blogging. The first time was a couple years ago when I was on BBC Radio (not sure which number anymore) and now I am in the Wall Street Journal. Not too bad.
CONGRATULATIONS, RHETT! That’s huge!!
Thanks Kristin. It was pretty fun.
First the BBC, now the WSJ. And all because you’re a blogger.
WRT to the actual article: there are online dating sites for couples dating? Like, Lavalife for couples? That strikes me as really bizarre.
That was new to me as well. Kind of weird. I prefer to do it the old fashioned way—on Twitter.
Alberta Tweetup: Couples Edition.
Wow, I’m in the Wall Street Journal: “…several who have moved away.” Sweet!!!
Seriously, though, that’s pretty awesome. One of these days you’re going to actually make some money off this thing!
That’s what I’ve decided to work towards.
Whoa…that is HUGE!
