Mediaite Turns 1

Today is Mediaite’s 1st birthday.
Watch the anniversary video below.

Mediaite Founder Dan Abrams looks back on the funny reactions people had to the name of his website: “It is hard to believe its been a full year since our newbie website with the awkward-sounding name was welcomed to the blogosphere with accolades such as “sounds vaguely medicinal, like something you’d give to a toddler suffering diarrhea” (Slate), or “no one really cares about the business and personalities behind the media” (Fast Company), or my personal favorite, “Mediaite feels a bit doomed.” (Daily Finance). Ah, yes – that honeymoon period was so sweet. We all love to curl up with the scrapbook and reminisce about the early days.”

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
