How Not to Use Youtube
Nov 24th
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.
So I thought I would share an example of how to use Youtube in all the wrong ways.

The Turkeys on Your TV
Nov 23rd
I don’t mean to pick on Good Morning America because it’s bad. It’s not. In fact, it is the only TV news I regularly subject myself to anymore. They probably do as well or better than any of the other networks.
Which is sad, because what passes for news these days is not news, it’s wrong.

Out and About

Last year, I did a bit of traveling and speaking. While it’s been nice to share, it’s also nice to learn a little. For the next few weeks I’ll be doing a bit of both.
Friday the 29th, I’ll be at the University of Alabama, talking with the faculty of the College of Human Environmental Sciences about social media.
Sunday, I leave for New Orleans, where I’ll spend a day and a half learning about Crisis and Emergency Risk Communications from one of the best in the field, Dr. Barbara Reynolds. She plays a key role communicating for the Centers for Disease Control.
Wednesday the 3rd, I am back in house for a presentation to another department. Then on the 10th I’m back in Tuscaloosa, spending about an hour talking with Dr. Suzanne Horsley‘s Public Relations students about how to integrate social media with traditional channels.
Then I will be in Atlanta for the Ragan Social Media Conference February 21-24. I was privileged to present this past March in Las Vegas – this time I will be something between a spectator and a sponge.
