Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetExcellent! Absolutely wonderful! I could go on, but you see where I’m going. This is great, Barbara. I’ll share this and the LinkedIn responses with my students. Thanks!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetJust an aside, but I love Cool Iris. One thing I like about it is to use a screen capture (w/ SnagIt/Jing) of the scrolling photos in that 3 layer stack they have ... then add CG over it w/ music to make a simple intro/outro for a video or a transition/bridge within the video. Simple way to do a simple effect.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThey were slow to react. Too few corporations are willing to expend the time and consideration to catch and repair these instances early.
They can ignite and spread so fast, why not devote resources to mine converstations 24/7. It can be done. A process can be created to react quickly.
Sometimes I wonder if they are using some fantasy actuarial table to determine what damage may occur.
I'm somewhat amused by Bezos' apology. It is written for the online culture club. A form of text self-flagellation perfect for the forum, Bezos releases his inner personal troll (before any others do).
It is doubtful we'll see many other CEOs copy Bezos' style. It was fun to read.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetAn interesting study would be to see if this “reach the sales floor” issue happens at all companies undertaking social media.
I’m not too surprised to learn that the front line workers in any major corporation are unfamiliar with their social media efforts. Lest we forget, social media is still *very* new and we may still be on the cusp of Early Adopter (Knowledge/Awareness) in the social media spread (or diffusion of innovations).

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetGood post, David. I'll share it in PROpenMic and did a RT of Barbara's note about it. Hope you'll consider cross-posting in PROpenMic, too.
All five points are aolid, but #5 stands out. I fear some students are going to settle for 'a job' in these times, as they are worried about just getting any job.
If you can pull it off, do what makes you happy ... with people that appreciate what you're doing. Always easy to say, yet too often hard to accomplish.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetCongratulations, Chris! Voce has such an impressive stable of great people … and you’re a perfect fit. Great news!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHey, Dave. Thanks for the mention. I’ll second Ike’s salute to @barbaranixon at Georgia Southern. Barbara’s not only very interesting to follow, but she shares terrific information and examples for educators in her blog … which she then tweets. A sure ‘must follow’ there. Lots of others, too. But, I’ll stop. Thanks!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetWell, TechCrunch just took … then deleted my comment to you, Daves.
Suffice to say, as I’m not going to retype it, you need to think of relevant audiences and their appeal to individual readers. To me, it is way too tech involved. Note, please, I included IMO in my comment.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI’d agree on numbers. Compete.com shows them to be *very* far apart. That said, all of these tools leave much to be desired with regard to true counts.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetWell, Daves, you likely anonymous commenter … those numbers are still high compared to the tech audience, IMO. Also, you’ll note I added IMO here and in my original post. This should remind you of the various audiences and interests of the many readers of both TechCrunch and Digg.
I visit both sites often. ;o) I find them to be many things, with regard to discussions: mostly anonymous, too often impolite, rarely vetted, and often lacking 3rd party references.
Oh, and you’ll also note that I, unlike, you didn’t resort to ad hominem *and* I use my real name with a link. You might try these two new things: being nice and transparency. It really works to help people take your views a bit more seriously.
I knew if I posted my opinion, particularly here, it would probably bring out a troll-like response from someone. Sigh. One more reason I give both TechCrunch and Digg little useful regard for *my* purposes.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetInteresting question, but I’m wondering if HitWise isn’t tracking “mobile devices, desktop apps, or through other Websites via Twitter’s API” then Twitter passed them eons ago in traffic …. and even longer ago in usefulness. Digg is too tech heavy and Twitter has a much broader/diverse user base, IMO. Add to that, conversations happen on Twitter in *almost* real time, quite often. Digg is closer to a forum than IM, such as Twitter.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThank you, David, for your kind words and this opportunity to share in your blog. Much appreciated.
Given the economy today, these new jobs (and being able to show potential employers you can do them) has made the focus upon new skills even more important for my students. We intend to continue providing our core traditional PR education, but actively enhance those classes with experience in emerging digital media.
I'm sure the jobs above are only scraping the surface. Looking forward to your future posts on the topic.
Thank you!
