@annmarietaps - Social Media Hurts Broadway

@annmarietaps — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:29:40 +0000

Is social media really the reason behind the decline of Broadway? I happen to think Broadway shows don't leverage it enough to encourage social spread of their productions. If traditional marketing and promotion is changing, shouldn't the way theatre is promoted change too?

Can someone tell me why there aren’t more articles like this one? I’ve been all over the place trying to educate myself on this without success. Finally, a quality composition that informs without all the sales spin. Thank you! Reputation Management Company

Bryan Person - When \'just the facts\' blogging works just fine

Bryan Person — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:02:20 +0000

Thanks for the comment, Sharon, and for the inspiration for my commentary. I don't think has to be an either/or question, actually. Fact-based blogs have their place, as do opinion/analysis-based blogs. And so, too, do those that mix it up. As I noted in my audio commentary, most of the bloggers I choose to follow added their personality and opinions (sometimes strong ones) into their writing most of the time, and I do appreciate them for that. I just don't we can be dogmatic about what works and work doesn't. Loving the discussion!

Sharon Mostyn - When \'just the facts\' blogging works just fine

Thanks for including me in your post Bryan! I appreciate your contention that facts-only posts have their place and agree that the iPad (or other breaking news) example is valid. However, my point is that if you're just stating the facts, why should I go to your blog as opposed to any other website? By adding your "story" and/or analysis of the facts, it presents you as a subject matter expert and gives authority to your posts. So let's poll your readers - leave your comment below supporting "just the facts" or "facts/stories/analysis" blog post style - if the majority of readers want just the facts, maybe I'll be convinced to change the way I write my blog! Thanks for bringing to light such an intriguing topic, Sharon

Bryan Person - Changing How You Interact With Content: HTML5

Bryan Person — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:23:50 +0000

Very educational post for me, Wayne. Do you have website recommendations we can follow to keep up with HTML5 developments, understand how to develop content to the HTML5 standard, etc.?

@shonali - I think the cold is making people cranky

@shonali — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:31:30 +0000

Jen, what a level-headed response. I was impressed by some of the comments I read in one of the posts (I don't remember which one) from breast cancer survivors, who clearly took this to heart. The passion/heated discussion quite took me aback. But the point you raise about breast cancer awareness in January when we're freezing our butts off is a really good one. What I'd like to see (and I think a couple of my tweets reflected that) is someone taking advantage of this awareness to move people to action - if it's nothing more than getting women to commit to monthly BSEs, starting an online group that checks in with each other regularly - whatever. Awareness is wonderful, but it needs to move people to action (the whole "outcome" thing I like to talk about). Otherwise it's a blip on the radar screen. Good on you for bringing a rational voice to the discussion.

@mstory123 - I think the cold is making people cranky

@mstory123 — Fri, 8 Jan 2010 22:11:19 +0000

You go, Jen. Your point is right on the mark. Aflac once approached Ben Affleck to do a TV spot with the duck -- the day before he was due to appear on one of the late-night shows. Ben turned down the offer immediately and thought it was strange - so strange that he mentioned it on whatever late night show he was on. And it was worth millions in free publicity. Who gives a rat's ass about what application or what month or what channel is used to raise awareness of a disease that kills thousands of women per year? I would love to debate this one -- go ahead, make my day. And you go, girlfriend. Mark

Burlbird - Hot Decade: The 2010\'s

Burlbird — Thu, 7 Jan 2010 14:40:23 +0000

Why is it so hard for people around the world to realise that decades start in year 1, not 0????? I blame the press for this idiotism mostly, but there is just the lack of common sence and education as well... The 3rd millennium started in 2001, not 2000. Also, the 2001-2010 decade will be the FIRST decade of the 3rd millennium, not the 'zeroth' decade.

Jen, such a perfect analogy: house plant, not some off-the-shelf, mass produced gift! I often have similar concerns when someone asks me to set them up for a social medium. They have to put up with my spiel about the 'care and feeding' part before I proceed. Your houseplant example made me think of Little Shop of Horrors, and how the wrong kind of care and feeding can end up :-)

catalin - Augmented Reality: When Real Isn\'t Enough

catalin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:12:23 +0000

All these thing you are talking about seem to be taken from a fairy tale, but like you said, this will be our future. We've seen so many movies borrowing these ideas and all of that seems science fiction at that time, but now more and more of those ideas are beginning to emerge into real life.

catalin - Unlocking Twitter's local news potential

catalin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:31:30 +0000

It's clear the direction everything is heading to. These days, everything is about social media. Although many are still reticent regarding this, there will come a day when everybody will embrace it.

catalin - ROI of Social Media

catalin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:31:10 +0000

It is normal that businesses want the ROI, but like you said, many of them have no idea what that implies. Many of them don't understand yet the interaction with the people is the most important. I think that in time more and more businesses will be aware of this and we are going to see an improvement.

catalin - The Disorganizational Management Shift

catalin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:18:07 +0000

You are absolutely right. Businesses should focus on the internet and the should take in consideration the power it has. There is no other tool more powerful in the world than the internet. The speed on which it can spread information and the huge number of persons who have access to it is a guaranteed win for the future.

catalin - ABC\'s \'jackass\' moment

catalin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:37:46 +0000

These days you can't afford to make a mistake like that because nobody has control over the internet. Once it's out there everybody will have access to it, and you can't really delete it because like happened with twitter, there are ways in which many had already got access to it.
