New York-based Anchor, which launched last week for iOS, is offering a new, easier way to record and transmit interactive audio content.

The company’s two co-founders Nir Zicherman and Michael Mignano, who previously worked at the photo-editing toolkit developer Aviary, hatched their new company over a shared love of radio. And have even enlisted some of New York’s heaviest high-end radio broadcasters to help with the app.

Local National Public Radio affiliate WNYC and Radiolab are both signing on to be initial “anchor” (I had to), users of the app.

Sticking to the small business and local advertising kick we've been on, today we'll chat briefly about how to spend local to be a big fish!

Earlier this week, Adweek put out an article entitled "How Regional Chains are Competing in the Fast-Food Breakfast War". I found an immediate parallel to the small, local businesses that regularly compete with big box stores and chains. 

In today's marketing update, Vincenzo talks about how to spend local to beat the big guys at their own game.

Add updates to your library

When you save an update to Edgar, tell him what social networks you want to post it on. You’ll also save each one in a certain category, like "Quotes," "Blog links," or "Haiku poetry about John Stamos." (Hey, you do you.) Every time you save an update, Edgar adds it to your online library.

Create a posting schedule

Edgar goes to work!

Edgar uses the updates saved in your library to create a queue. After he posts an update, he’ll put it back in the library at the bottom of the pile, so he can post it again later when he runs out of new ones. The result? A never-ending update queue that fills and refills itself automatically - and you never have to worry about an update going to waste. Thanks, Edgar!
