Jeremy Vaught (jeremy@jeremyvaught.com)’s Summary

New Media explorer and producer. From a background as a software engineer and management, capitalized on those skills to be a producer in the field of New and Social Media.

I've been blogging off an on since the early 2000's, but I got involved in podcasting in 2005 and virtual worlds in 2006, and was bitten by the New Media bug. I've had a passion for New Media since then, and in late 2007 turned that into a business.

Now I call myself a Freelance Blogger and New/Social Media Consultant. I have a passion for helping companies and individuals to use these tools to increase their brand and make real money. I show companies how to use blogs, Twitter, Facebook, virtual worlds and many other New Media tools to reach out and interact with their customers.
