Re: 6 Twitter Power Tips

Chris,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Twitter RSS does NOT hyperlink stuff". Maybe I'm missing something, but this appears to be a hyperlink: http://twitter.com/financialaidpodcast/statuses..., and when I looked at the RSS feed for your Twitter page, it looked okay to me. Please clarify. Thanks!

Anyone know if this or something similar works in windows?

I agree, Chris. You have too many cameras. Send one of them to me, and sell the rest. ;)

Thanks, Chris. I really look forward to meeting you in person some day.

Re: Why You Keep Buying Seth Godin’s Books, Even Though You Already Know The Material

Very interesting. I've found the same type of thing happening to me while listening to podcasts on the commute to work and back. I've often had to rewind the shows because I'd lost track of what was being said, having been wrapped up in my own thoughts that were inspired from listening.

I've noticed this particularly happening with marketing podcasts. Hmm.

Hi Ed. This is my first visit here, having found the post via your Twitter message. It's interesting for me to read more than 140 characters from you at a time. Definitely glad I stopped by.

Thanks, Ed, for sharing these words. So glad your mother is doing better.

I've heard it said that podcasters are the loudest bunch of introverts, btw.

Re: Closed Captioning New Media?

Daniel Johnson Jr — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:09:17 -0000

Ed, I think there is a great opportunity to reach a group of people that would not ordinarily get a message.

As a parent of a child who is hard of hearing, we rely HEAVILY on close-captioning and subtitles. It's become second nature for us to always have the captions on, and our daughter always makes sure we have captions or subtitles on when we watch a DVD.

She has not been that keen on podcasting because it's mostly audio. Even with her hearing aids, she still misses some things.

I would like to know what technology exists that makes producing audio or video with synchronized lyrics or subtitles or captions.

Thanks for getting the conversation going.

Re: To tweet or not to tweet? Vote for Twitter, Jaiku or Pownce here.

Daniel Johnson Jr — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:56:52 -0000

I've never drunk the Pownce kool-aid, and while I was persuaded earlier this year to get on Jaiku, I still stay on Twitter, because that's where most of the conversation and community is.

And I'm an Evan Williams fanboy.

When my sister and I drove separately from Cincinnati, OH to Houston, TX, the CB was crucial to our staying in touch and being safe, especially while driving through pelting rain and lots of snow.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Every So Often

Daniel Johnson Jr — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:10:03 -0000

Dude, you are so right. I felt from listening to the show, that I was there, even though I'm here in Ohio. I was able to chat with other fans online as we listened.

Also, I just found out from listening to Ed's Mixed Bag #71 that you're going to be in Dayton, Ohio in May. I look forward to further details as they present themselves, and I'd really like to see you play in person.

"Keen’s argument is that every time we blog, a smarter better journalist dies."

Smarter, better, according to whom? Him?

I've felt like most bloggers are way more approachable than most journalists. I think the rawness of it is what I've been attracted to. Too often I feel that journalists tow the company/party line, while bloggers are less restricted.

My $0.02.

Re: Why Join Another Social Network

Daniel Johnson Jr — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 19:53:48 -0000

In the early days of blogging, before Blogger had its own commenting system, there was a commenting system called YAACS. YAACS stood for Yet Another Commenting System. Probably still exists today - I wouldn't know.

I keep waiting for someone to start YASMN - Yet Another Social Media Network. All of this talk of more places to put oneself online is frustrating. I can definitely understand how it would feel cliquish.

I haven't yet decided what to do with my Pownce invite yet, nor how to develop my Facebook profile. I feel okay about holding off for a bit and using the current tools I'm using.

Re: Considering Social Network Etiquette

Daniel Johnson Jr — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:28:36 -0000

As an early adopter of Twitter, I used to get uptight when I saw the proliferation of '@' messages. Now I get it.

My purpose in using Twitter has changed over the months since I started using it. I now use it to participate in conversation, let others know what's going on with me, point to content too large on Twitter, and make/keep in touch with friends.

I've especially enjoyed finding people in my own geographic area through TwitDir.com, and I hope that I can connect through other online means and even meet up with more friends locally in person.

I've decided to use Twitter and other social networks to for relationship-building and personal branding, so knowing how to "take the pulse" of the current climate of a social network is something of value.

Re: Review Your Output

Daniel Johnson Jr — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 15:08:02 -0000

I can see where you're coming from, but I can't say I agree with you completely.

What if the purpose of a blog is to "navel-gaze"; i.e., serve as a "down engine" of sorts? Should someone not blog because others are not interested in that sort of thing?

"An artist's first responsibility is to himself." -- Miles Davis, via QuotesBlog

At the same time, I can see that such a blog will not sustain an audience for very long, so I suppose we need to evaluate the direction for our content. Are we trying to sustain an audience? If so, then I agree wholeheartedly.

Does this make any sense?

Re: Twitter at Velocity

Daniel Johnson Jr — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 10:24:13 -0000

I think one of the reason why Chris has many followers on Twitter and elsewhere is that he's a super-connector. I don't mean to say this to blow smoke up anywhere; it's just a role he's decided to fill.

I don't this it's right to criticize anyone's approach to using a social media tool. I think when we do that - and I have - we're projecting our own insecurity/fear/shadow/etc. onto that person.

I strongly believe that we need to let one another play on the new media playground in a manner we each choose to. What works for one won't work for another.

Thanks for sharing this presentation, Chris! It was especially good to understand the culture and limitations behind the different social networking sites.

Do you have a direct download link for this video anywhere?

Re: Social Media News Release => Social Media Resume

Daniel Johnson Jr — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 13:56:22 -0000

Can you help me understand the "non-commercial" aspect of the license you've applied here? I'm a bit confused because I think the point of the resume is to get a job and get paid. I think I'm missing something here.

Like C.C., this caught me off guard. I did enjoy the song at the end of the episode, but I can understand your rationale. There are plenty of other music podcasts to listen to.

To me, it's "The Other Ron" I listen to (lol).

I too am amazed that a single person other than myself pays attention to what I have to say. I'm amazed that over people on Twitter want to get what I have to say.

Re: Local TV Transforms – Towers and Transmitters Meet the Social Web

Daniel Johnson Jr — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:40:16 -0000

I love my local news outlets in Cincinnati. One network affiliate has gone to great lengths to brand themselves as "Local12". It will be interesting to see the trend continuing. I also am witnessing more "user-generated content" via the local media websites.

As much as I enjoy new media content via podcasts, for example, I still have to turn to local news for weather and traffic conditions - because it's real-time.

I've begun tracking job openings for new media in Cincinnati, and I've noticed more and more the openings are for local media outlets.
