SteveNot a high-tech whizbang hypothetical supraluminal know-it-all enthralled and embedded in the frenetically byzantine world of Geekdom?


Me either.

This Web 2.0 talk got you scratching your head - or duct taping it to keep it from exploding?


Me too.

Well, here's a slide presentation I put together to help normal people try to get a look (from a geek-safe distance) at some of the emerging tools, services and principles of this new and evolving communications media.

Lot of pictures. Not many words. You're head won't explode. But it might get close. Takes about 2-3 minutes to go through.



Slide 3 loads a little slow. It's an embedded video. FULL-SCREEN is enabled. Check it out.

HELP A NORMAL PERSON OUT!

Share it at will, anywhere, anytime, under the uncreative certainly uncommon license.

After all, think about it, besides being geometrically challenged, put yourself in my company's position - it can be a chronically painful condition.

Any questions?

Old Blood and Guts - Through a Glass Darkly

We've moved to a new site - WritingRiffs.com Appreciate you checking this article out at WritingRiffs.com . We'll be deleting all the content on this site over the next few weeks. Thanks! Steve He was charming. Reckless. Brilliant. Rash. Kind and callous. Vicious and violent Yet gentle and a gentleman. Prayed on his knees but cussed like a sailor. His men called him “Old Blood and Guts." When Life Was Worth Less Than Zero This complex man, commanding and savagely fighting during the murderous madness of World War II, when life was worth less than zero, believed himself to be a warrior of old. Of other times. Other places. Many times - many places. He thought about it. Spoke about it. Wrote about it. But hardly anyone remembers ... lost to another time, another place. Magnetic. Majestic. His poem, "Through A Glass Darkly," is an amazing testament to and from a warrior. Each time I read it I marvel at the complex sagacity and intellectual magnificence of this

So This is Christmas ... What Have You Done?

So fast. Another year past. 2007 gone. 2008 soon upon. Questions How did you do? What did you do? What did you do that really mattered? Have you even thought about it that way? Or … Were You Just Too Busy? Have you considered how precious and fleeting each moment is? How each breath is an amazing blessing extending our existence on this blue-green magical orb called earth? An earth that travels through space at over 1,000 miles per hour and moves around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour? Too Much to Do Or did you have too much to do to wonder at that? I did. Have you considered that if the expansion rate of the universe was changed by one part in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, faster or slower, life on earth would not exist? Too Many E-mails Or did you have too many e-mails to think about that? My inbox was pretty much always full. A Really Big Inch Did you know that if a measuring tape were stretched across the universe and segmented in one-inch increments (bi

Social Media News Room Examples

Image
I visited a lot of social media newsrooms (SMN's) for the "Social Media News Releases Are Absolutely Worthless" article. Below are examples of real newsrooms engaged in real business, and just not some theoretical treatises on the joys and efficacies of a social media newsroom concept. The companies spread out among different industries - a fairly decent cross-section. The Big Bang I saw a lot of SMN's that started out with a hot flash, big bang ... then stopped. They haven't been updated for months, if at all. Why? Novelty? Too much work? Risk? No results? Not enough digital assets? Part or all of those things? Don't know. I'll take a shot at it though. It's related to "doing the work." It's a lot of hard work pulling all the content, multi-media and social news sharing capabilities together without making yourself "look a fool." The Hard Work is not the Hard Work And the hard work part is not the hard work. Creating or
