My apologies – this is a social media post, and I am too lazy to write it all out, and I don’t have anywhere else to put this idea, and this is a run-on sentence.

On Jobs
about 4 months ago - No comments
The following my piece from a larger compilation of thoughts by the authors at Social Media Explorer. The History of Steve Jobs will forever be clouded by the Mystery of Steve Jobs. He will go down as an irreplaceable force of creative vision, and years from now, people will still be wondering what would have
TV Catching Up to Me?

About a year and a half ago, I put forward the novel idea that cable and satellite providers needed to step up their offerings. Shows are increasingly becoming commodities, and there are other ways to access them, in whole or just the good parts. Now, it looks like DirecTV is taking that first step. A

I don’t have an iPad, but I know several people who do. I also know that I am using audio on almost all of my posts now, and video on many. Which means it’s time for me to make those past embedded videos HTML-5 friendly, if I want to be seen and heard along with

Video is increasingly important for a variety of reasons. First, we’re just now getting a handle on how persuasive you can be when better engaging the visual cortex. There are some stories that play better with visual and emotional information. And lastly, Youtube is now the second-largest search engine, right behind its parent company, Google.

Three-and-a-half years ago, I wrote a spoof about how analysis of mood and syntax on Twitter could be used to predict a woman’s likely moment of ovulation. A year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a piece about how Google was assembling a significant-enough chunk of content creation and distribution, it would have a prediction engine that could

A gunman fired several rounds in a University of Texas library today. (I don’t think I have to recount the very sensitive issue with you… the rest of the media is sure to dredge up the story of the sniper in the tower.) The interesting piece for me today is how technology changed both the

In a crisis, what you see is what you get. No, I am not making a trite statement about “it is what it is,” or about transparency. What you see is what you comprehend… what you understand… what you internalize. I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about the pieces you need for effective crisis
Erasing the Objections

See if these points sound familiar: There’s nothing special about this technology, it’s just another way to communicate. It’s a technology that frees people to express themselves, storing their input sequentially. Innovators are jumping on a bandwagon, which will really be just a fad. There’s a limited base of research about its real effectiveness. Much

There will be a theme for the next week or so. Disruption and Adjustment. Before last week I had never heard of Ryu Murakami, but he’s at the center of an interesting case that may amplify the tremors of technology. From Robert McCrum in the Guardian: Earlier this month, in a manoeuvre I predict will
A Blind Love for Video

Sam is a friend of mine from college. He sent me a rant the other day. I think most news outlets WAAAYYY overvalue their internet video content. For the record: I HATE IT. I never willingly click on a news video. Ever. I’m looking for information, not some ****-***-slow-to-load or streaming content barfed on me
