Ross Mayfield's Weblog. When I ran for student body President at Foothill College (where I'm giving this year's commencement speech), they had each candidate record a video pitch.
Even back then I was a pretty good speaker. But in a room with just a camera pointed at me, no audience to feed off of, I found myself rediculously self-concious and started to choke. Later I lost the campaign, to my roommate. I chalk it up as a learning experience. Yesterday morning I found myself in a room with a camera pointing at me, but it was telepresence to Moscow, giving a talk for the Digital October program. While I have no idea if the talk was lost in translation (my worst experience was in Japan when I had to pause after each sentence for the person next to me to translate it), in retrospect I realize that telepresence shaped my talk. Telepresence will never replace face-to-face, but will have a strong role as flying to Moscow will always be painful, at least in my lifetime. Rebuilding Media_ The economics of content. Blog. Net als in de andere culturele sectoren verandert de omgang met cultureel erfgoed ingrijpend onder invloed van ontwikkelingen in technologie en de netwerk- en informatiemaatschappij.
Cultureel erfgoed wordt steeds vaker van een analoge naar een digitale vorm overgezet of rechtstreeks digitaal aangemaakt. Het wordt ook op een elektronische manier beschreven, op servers of harde schijven bewaard, online beschikbaar gemaakt … Het begrip digitaal cultureel erfgoed staat dan ook niet enkel voor digitale of gedigitaliseerde inhoud of collecties, maar vooral voor hoe met deze digitale inhoud of collecties kan worden omgegaan.

Idiotprogrammer. Recently I was watching “Mud,” a well done movie about the South.
It featured quirky characters, regional color, dangerous problems and loss of innocence. Good old-fashioned Americana. On an isolated island, two teenage boys stumble upon a stranger who turns out to be a fugitive. But the stranger is not really a bad guy, just someone wounded by romantic delusions. The details of this stranger’s alleged crime are muddled by the fact that the man the stranger killed probably deserved to die anyway and the bounty hunters now chasing the stranger down are probably bad guys too.
All in all, a fine movie, and I enjoyed it. But the ending really botched things. In this movie, guns precipitate the conflict, aggravate the conflict and end the conflict (in a ridiculously violent way). I shoot people; therefore I am achieving justice. I don’t deny that using guns has a certain romanticism to it, the romanticism of desiccated limbs, punctured internal organs and collapsed breaths. Guns vs. General. Thank goodness this phone has safe mode.
I installed LBE Privacy Guard to prevent Facebook from using my phone’s GPS and the LBE Privacy Guard got my phone into a constant reboot. Hated. Putting the phone into safe mode saved me from the reboot cycle. I am posting a link here so I don’t forget this – pretty simple steps. 1. Turn off phone. 2. Gent.blogt.

The leading content portal in Croatia, Dnevnik, yesterday published a relatively lengthy interview with me discussing social media strategy.
The article is published in Croation. Realising that most readers of cybersoc.com are unlikely to be fluent in Croation, I've published the full, unedited, English language version below: Dnevnik: Your presentation in Zagreb is titled what’s a like ever one for your brand? Can you tell us more about it? Corporate investment in Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising has, over the past five years or so, shifted away from traditional activities and into digital.
Hardly a week goes buy that I don't hear a client or prospective client suggest that they should be "on Facebook" or ask if "Google+ is the next platform" where they should activate their brand activities online. Dnevnik: There is a lot of ongoing talk about measuring of your social media activities. CyberJournalist.net_ How technology, blogs and the Internet are. Creating Positive Context_ Developing brand management competenc. For several decades, companies have created brands for use as the centrepiece of their communication efforts with customers.
Using various brand management techniques such as identity and image management, positioning and differentiation, firms have deployed traditional brand management practices to push the benefits of their offer to specific market segments and individual consumers. More recently, the tensions and vulnerabilities at the heart of modern branding can be seen as a function of the failure of brand management to understand the social nature of brands as well as the emerging experiential form of customer value ( I shan't describe these tensions again, enough has been written already).
Brands, it can be argued, are increasingly social entities that are created as much by consumers as by marketers, a social construction that arises from two key sources: Brand Community Concept The brand community concept is significant for several reasons: Implications for brand management.
