VentureBeat's new reporter — the 100-word version

Hi. I’m VentureBeat’s newest reporter. I cover Apple and the iPhone, plus digital music and video. I share social networks coverage with Eric Eldon.

Yes, the iPhone is a whole news category now. I’m sure Twitter is next.

Most people know me for my New York Times blog on social networks. I still do that, plus an occasional feature for the newspaper. Before the Times, I wrote and edited for Valleywag. That was the most fun ever. I should mention Wired, Slate, and the Industry Standard, but you’re bored already.

Send me — paul@venturebeat.com – your news tips, rumors, and super-secret embargoed pre-briefings. I’ll do my best to report them three hours ahead of everyone else.
