ICAEW has already won an award for its community, is shortlisted for 4 other awards. GoodmanJones - 3rd year in succession shortlisted for a major award for &#039;innovative use of internet&#039; IT Counts community now with c.4K members from a standing start this March.  Average 2+ comments per post. Highly active - shown to CPAs in Washington and to innovators in San Francisco earlier this month. Growing group of accounting websites/weblogs all doing well. Podcasting is alive and well - colleague of mine now has over 300, with regular subscribers topping 2K per week. No-one I know seems to be running out of ideas. On appropriate topics I can generate thousands of page views a day. Now running an aggregation site with 2 others, microblogging site with 1840+ subscribers a day...the list goes on.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@Heather.
