Up until today, we had done no promotion of this blog, despite the fact that one of the services offered by our parent company ZimmComm is news releases. We wanted to first create a quality product with good content to provide information for both domestic fuel industry members and consumers. Now that we have our first sponsor – the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council – it’s time to make us official, so the news release has been sent out. Our readership has already been growing by word of mouth and that will only continue as alternative fuels get more attention. We really appreciate our loyal readers and we welcome those of you who may be visiting for the first time. Our sincere thanks to EPIC for being the charter sponsor of this blog. EPIC Executive Director Tom Slunecka said, “We’re looking for creative new platforms to communicate our message directly to the public. ZimmComm’s pioneering efforts to use new media tools like blogging fits our strategy perfectly.” This is definitely a PRO-Alternative Fuels forum – but one in which we hope to answer questions and concerns as well as promote this exciting new industry. We believe the potential for ethanol and biodiesel to help reduce our country’s dependence on foreign sources of oil is huge.
ZimmComm is a new media communications company that specializes in agribusiness. Besides this blog, we also have three other company O&O blogs – AgWired, World Dairy Diary and Ag News Wire.
