This week’s panel, Tim Allik, Doug Haslam and Rob Capra, discuss:

1. PR Newswire and Umbria team up to bring blog tracking to wire service customers
2. PC World‘s editor in chief resigns. Is advertiser influence on editorial to blame?
3. The Digg community gives Digg a particular PR problem, as they won’t let Digg comply with a cease & desist order regarding the posting of an HD-DVD encryption code.
4. We discuss a conversation I had with Marshall Kirkpatrick of Splashcast about their blogger and podcaster relations campaign to deal with concerns arising from their new MyPodcastNetwork service
5. Bright Side: goes to all the companies at an Arab tourist conference in Egypt that did not showcase mandatory fingerprinting programs
6. Best wishes to the publishers on the launch of Blogger and Podcaster Magazine
7. We get Adam Zand’s Kentucky Derby pick in under the wire
