As I stated in my PodCamp wrap-up post yesterday, there were a few memes floating through the halls at PodCamp Boston. Monetization, personal reputation management, the new rules for public relations, and the power of community all caught my attention.
I also heard repeated chatter, both in person and all over Twitter, of the new micro-conversation [...]

Back in college I was a sociology major. And yes, I am gainfully employed, thank you very much.
I only mention that because the social media phenomenon is particularly interesting to me because of the sociological aspects of the interactions and connections between participants.
After podcamp, I was thinking about the motivation behind adding friends, [...]

Jeremiah Owyang started the latest meme making its way through many of my favorite PR blogs, and Geoff Livingston has tagged me to participate.
The question: How do you respect the media snacker? (Simply stated, a “snacker†is someone who consumes their media in small, digestible portions.)
My answer: By being a media glutton, of course!
A [...]

Podcamp Boston 2 wrapped up yesterday, and I had the great pleasure to be in attendance. Many, many thanks go to Chris Brogan and Chris Penn (and countless others) for putting together such a stellar weekend. I hope the other attendees got as much out of it as I did!
I hope to cover a [...]

podcamp Boston was most excellent. That’s coming from a guy that knows nothing about podcasting whatsoever.
I thought I’d post a short wrapup of the things I found most interesting:
1. Twitter is HUUUUUGE.
I’ve been resisting the twitter phenomenon for a long time. That era is over. I was simply blown away by the sheer number of [...]

Now this is much better for me: the theme of this presentation could be boiled down to “What social media tools should I use to enable my laziness?”
RSS
Mitch Joel is going through RSS readers and the best way to plow through his list of feeds. I’ve never used Google reader, but it looks kind of [...]

Rather than describing last night’s event right now, I’m just going to jump right in. Let’s just say that bragging about timing yesterday was an open invitation for karma to slap me in the neck. Last night I set all 4 of my alarms to get up early for the morning sessions, but…..

Talk about timing. I am just finishing up some work before the big Podcamp Boston kickoff tonight, and just heard about Magnify.net. Magnify.net is a “video curation platform,” allowing people to create online channels to display their video content all over the web. You can create video channels and easily upload video to your site. [...]

Last month, Chris Brogan wrote a post with 100 blog topics he hoped people would write about. I bookmarked it and made a mental note to return to it and pick one, pick five, pick all of them whenever I was feeling less than inspired.
Well, based on the number of posts (regardless of my [...]

I always have strange sources of inspiration. This morning I was listening to Opie and Anthony on the way in to work, and George Carlin was being interviewed. They were talking about a phenomenon that existed a fairly short time ago called “news.” Apparently in this era, there were people called “reporters”, who actually did [...]
