Congratulations to Kev Johns, breakfast show presenter on Swansea Sound.
Not because he's won an award but because he's fast understanding the forces that are Facebook and Twitter - http://twitter.com/KevJohnscymru.
In fact, he's astonishingly gregarious on these most 2010 of social media platforms.
In the next few hours - as it's now Saturday - look out for him plugging his popular Sunday phone-in ... unless he's taking a bit of time off for his wedding anniversary, of course.
A lot of Swansea area businesses, including those in the media, can take a leaf from this presenter's book: get hooked on social media because it's a fabulous bolt-on to your traditional publicity activity.
Kev's tweets yesterday numbered 10 and included plugs for Swansea Sound, Swansea City, American's Top Model, Katherine Jenkins and TV show Dragons Eye.
Keep it up, Kev.
A few of his Gowerton colleagues, meanwhile, are owed a belated congrats from this blog because they have won awards in the past few weeks.
Steve Barnes, programme controller at The Wave and Swansea Sound, has been named programmer of the year in the annual media awards programme of parent group UTV.
Steve, who joined the station as a presenter 23 years ago told me he was honoured to receive the accolade. And so he should be - UTV's a biggish player in the UK and Ireland radio market with 23 stations. See http://www.utvradio.com/.
The same awards, incidentally, saw the Wave and Swansea Sound named as runners up in the station of the year category. Wave breakfast buddies Badger and Emma, and the advertising team's Alison Gibbard were finalists.
Well done, all - all glory for Swansea Bay is worth cheering.
