Talk Social News Episode 7: Louis Gray is Social M...

This week on Talk Social News Kipp and Wayne interview Louis Gray author of LouisGray.com. Louis has been handed the blogging keys by Jason Calacanis and some have asked is he the next Robert Scoble.

Even if you’re just interested in blogging or you wonder how someone like Louis processes and gathers information you’ll enjoy this podcast. But don’t take my word for it, download and listen to the podcast yourself.
