All of us at FM are feeling the benefits of conversational marketing more directly as of today: As part of a broader sponsorship deal, Rackspace has offered discounted hosting services to all FM sites, including our own blog!

Morgan Webb’s daily tech and gaming news program WebbAlert launched on Rackspace back in August, and Battelle’s Searchblog is moving over shortly as well.

This doesn’t mean every FM site is required to change its hosting solution, if its current situation is working. It means that Rackspace understands the “federated” model, and it’s giving leading, independent authors the opportunity to tap enterprise-grade IT services (and pricing terms), even though they’re not yet giant enterprises.

Thanks, Rackspace!
