Freelance journalist Dennis Howlett has started AccMan Pro, a blog that "discusses innovation and change among professional accountants". It's only been going a month but has already clocked up some pretty impressive statistics:
- 3 merchants banks
- 16 practices with more than 10 partners
- 5 practices with more than 25 partners
- 17 individuals deemed the stuff worthy enough to sign up for automatic receipt of postings (timed daily)
- EU Commission (they had a serious dig through!)
- HMRC (at least a couple of their people are looking at this site)
- Readers come from 11 countries (so the issues ain't so local after all!)
- 16% of readers in the US


Hey guys - thanks for the mention. I'm really not doing freelance journalism any more. When I am it's sporadic. It's so 1990's and doesn't hit the spot for the kind of people I want to reach. And it's sloooooow as a medium where information is pretty much free and instant.
