Seattle startup exec named to head RNC's new media push

Former radio talk show host Todd Herman, who worked at Microsoft and MSNBC.com and founded Seattle startups such as theDial and SpinSpotter, has landed a new gig as director of new media for the Republican National Committee

Herman writes about the new job in his blog.  I have a call into the tech executive to see what his plans entail and what this mean for SpinSpotter, the Seattle startup he launched six months ago with former RealNetworks executive John Atcheson. SpinSpotter's goal is to expose media bias, corporate/political spin an other inaccuracies in online reports. 

Atcheson -- the liberal of the top two SpinSpotter executives -- remains in the CEO post.  Herman is listed as a founder and chief creative officer of SpinSpotter, which is backed by angel investors and Epic Ventures.

In 2001, Loudeye acquired certain assets of theDial, the online radio startup that Herman founded. At Microsoft, Herman worked on MSN Video.
