Affiliate Thing podcast #12 is now available to stream or download. The latest show featured an interview with Jim Kukral, Publisher of ReveNews.

We chatted about Jim's new project, Affiliate Marketing Friends, and the overall boom of creativity and friendliness that has perpetuated in the affiliate industry over the last few months.

We tried to come up with an explanation for the recent Kumbaya in affiliate marketing. Is this all due to more interaction at conferences, tools of Web 2.0, marginalization of the Chicken Little pundits, all of the above, or something else?

Whatever the reason, it's good to see the collective industry turning on, tuning in, and dropping the attitudes for the collective good.
