Video: Australian Professional Bloggers featured in TEN News report

Darren Rowse — hero to many bloggers out there plugging away in the blogging industry — and other Australian bloggers making a living writing online — Neerav Bhatt and Karen Cheng — were recently featured in a news report aired “down under.”

From Darren Rowse’s Problogger:

Just a short note to welcome viewers from Australia’s TEN News. A story just aired on the TEN network that featured three bloggers – Karen Cheng, Neerav Bhatt and myself (I’m told it will also be on the PM editions of the news in some cities tonight). For international readers – you can now see the report here. …

ProBlogger is a blog about blogging – more particularly it’s a blog about making money from blogging. Millions of blogs have sprung up on the web over the last 5 years and many of those bloggers are now looking to take their blogs from something that is purely a hobby … . For most this is simply a way to pay for their coffee habit or to save up for that new gadget that they’ve been eyeing off – but for some blogging has become a significant source of income.

Spotting the power of Twitter to keep people up-to-date in a concise format, scientists at NASA have programmed the Phoenix Mars lander to send Tweets with updates from the red planet.  Actually, the Phoenix Mars lander is sending the info back to NASA where an employee updates Twitter.  It would be pretty cool if the posts were coming directly from Mars.

The New York Times’ Kenneth Chang writes about the Phoenix Mars lander using Tweeter:

Whoever thought a NASA spacecraft could be so adept at social networking and Web 2.0?

For users of Twitter, a Web microblogging service, the Phoenix Mars lander has been sending pithy news “tweets” to the cellphones and computers of interested “followers.”

Excellent use for this new technology.
