Shhh...Green Michigan News! Exciting!

We are seeing so many new companies emerging into the Green Scene it is hard to keep up with it. I believe many consumers are being inundated with green messages but don't necessarily understand the benefits.

It is great to see a company who is launching a new resource for consumers and industry professionals alike.

Mike Brennan - MiTech News

Meet Mike Brennan of MITechNews.com!!!

Mike released (unofficially) some exciting news today!!

Ssshhhhh...

I'll whisper it so no one over hears me!!!

MITechNews.com is a web portal that features stories, information and event listings about Michigan technology companies and entrepreneurs.

MITechNews.com is creating an audio podcast channel to highlight news, event listings, businesses, entrepreneurs and all related information on Michigan Green News !

They are including alternative energy, hybrid vehicle programs, solar, wind recycling and more!

Editor and Publisher Mike Brennan is looking for content and will arrange for all audio interviews to be podcast on the new MIGreenTech blog, which has been created, but not officially announced yet!

The interviews will also be featured at MITechNews.com's News Maker interview podcast site.

All New Maker interviews are promoted in MITechNews.com's Weekly eNewsletter which currently goes out to more than 27,000 email addresses each week.

Mike is offering a GREAT opportunity for your green group, green building, green business, green-business ideas to gain much higher visibility in Michigan and beyond.

All content will be produced at MITechNews.com's expense!!!

Do You Have Green News to Share???

If you are interested in learning more and sharing information about your green company, ideas or events in Michigan email Mike: brennan at mitechnews dot com.....Tell him Ma sent you!!!

If would like to preview Mike's podcast I recommend listening to his interview with Manistee County Commissioner Allan O’Shea talking about the success of the 2007 Michigan Energy Fair. It is a great interview!

MITechNews.com currently has an Alternative Energy Section. Next month the name will be changed to MIGreenTech.

Now remember....it's a secret....Shhhhhh!!!

Hi Katerina - I was excited when Mike told me about it. There are so many small companies out there with innovative things happening it will be a great way to spread the word. I think his offer to produce the podcasts and showcase the companies is invaluable!

Hi Tammy - be sure and pass the word through the grapevine to companies you know involved in the green revolution so Mike can get them on air. He is looking for good content and even has the technology to do a Larry King style show where he can get a couple people on the air at the same time and moderate! I love it!

Hi Stephanie - this IS good news! The best part is you will be able to access the podcasts in Texas! Stay tuned!

Mary- This sounds like a wonderful idea. The consumer certainly need more education on what green really means and where to get access information.

Jennifer - I agree with you! If we don't get good SOLID information to the public they will brush the green dust off. Mike has come up with a great way to disseminate information! Thanks for the comment!

Mary~

SO! When's your air-time/ And will you update this post with a link? And when will Mike B. go national? I know 390 ECO-All-Stars who would make interesting guests =)

JaneAnne - I'm not sure when I'll be on with him! Soon! and yes I will update with a link! I think that would be very cool if he could go national and with the technology out there these days I think it is feasible! I think it all depends on the amount of advertisers he gets for funding! It will be a valuable service for the Green Revolution! He has some great ideas for a Larry King type show where he would moderate between two points of view. Funny! Thanks for the comment! and the star!

Joan - It's pretty exciting learning what Mike is going to do! I REALLY want people with content to call or email Mike as soon as possible so he can sustain the show. I think it is so important to educate the consumers and podcasts are just one more way to get the word out! Thanks for your comment!

Mary,

It's good to see new resource sites like this coming on-line. The more the better. Consumers do need to have easy access to the green housing info so that they'll better understand what it is all about. Why it's so important.
