When I was in the NAVY on a submarine we would surface and swim in the open ocean. We would dive off a part of the submarine that was about 60ft. Each time I would walk to the edge and look over I would feel fear. I learned that just running and jumping (facing the fear head on) was the best way and that once I jumped I had to do my best to land right. So in life I tend to jump in with no fear, knowing I will do my best. You have to have faith in yourself and know you can overcome the fear in your life.

I agree. I was a promotions producer for UPN 38 and again at a WB affiliate. Putting show promos on your own station only shuffles around your current viewers, with no chance of gaining new viewers. I always compared it to having a bad hand in poker, shuffle that same hand and it's still bad. You have to get access to new cards.

It's not about free stuff, it is about going beyond trying to be one of the "cool kids" in social media. If you "get" social media do you have to check in, or should you already know who is going where and doing what. The "cool kids" change services every week, and that is the job of early adopters, but for these SM tools to be accepted my the masses, and used for businesses there is still a lot of work to do.

I never said I was an "expert" but I do try to use these tools to get results, and I am asked by others how to get results for their business. So sometimes I may not "follow" the flock blindly.

But at what point are we just adding too much? I had to turn off notification because of SXSWi check ins, the people I follow on twitter are no longer a person but a location based app check in. So now I must keep up with Facebook, linked in, Twitter, Gowalla, Foursquare, and email, thank god Buzz has not taken off or there would be another. I do like Gowalla and see the future in it for advertising and marketing, but for mass adoption this all has to get easier to manage

There will be more of this in the future as more people discover Social Media. But the whole thing is a great case study in how to use Social Media. Keep up the good fight!

I came from TV and wanted to build the next Revision 3, built a site www.stationx.tv and started a show all on bootstrap. made a model, pitched to VC and was told I had a good idea but what could I do on my own without money. That became www.beerutopia.com is it a blog, vlog, magazine? I do not know the definition yet but we are having some success and starting to sell sponsors. So I am not trying for VC anymore, we are just rolling up our sleeves and going to work!

Re: Dear YouTube friends, can I have my account back?

brantc — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:22:15 -0000

This is why I started http://stationx.tv to host my show Beer Utopia. I have to pay BitGravity for the service but I control my content. I used YouTube to get me off the ground but I do not like have them "approve" my content.

I have BeerUtopia.com and got a lot of twitters from friends and viewers say Oh no, Gary is doing BeerLibtv. To which I said cool. Question 1:do you believe competition is good for this industry? Question 2: What are your longterm business goals in New Media? Question 3: Have you tried any wines from Arkansas? And question 3: I am here in Arkansas and want to know why you say no to McFadden?
