Re: Former CEO of Forbes.com on what journalists need to know about online advertising

I agree with Steve completely. His 3C model is great, but newspapers aren't building the framework for direct sales, either online or within their sales structure. Sales teams aren't built to go door-to-door, showing people how to use these tools, showing people WHY these tools are important. And they must.

Glad you made it over to my blog, Ricardo.

To me, it's all about face time. There's nothing like shaking a person's hand and looking them in the eye to learn what they're all about.

Thanks for commenting!

I'd rather use Backtweets to find people already linking to my content.

But if you're looking for conversations, then absolutely. Just use a Twitter advanced search to narrow it by area.

Did you use your regular blog platform, Seth, or more of a storystreaming platform?

Duh. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this link, Bryan. I wish I could scroll directly to that mark, but it doesn't seem like I can!

Re: The Entrepreneurial Agency

If it's a business model, perhaps you could draft some sort of visual for how it works. It'd be easier to see how the agency will make money.

What this model doesn't take into consideration, is the constant scrambling for business, the constant RFPing and other new biz activities that can take up huge chunks of people's time. Any thoughts on that?

Re: Case study on storystreaming: A day in the sun

dan360man — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 08:42:36 -0000

I like it. It's a slightly different presentation, but I like the interactivity.

Re: New Tricks: Why you should use Technorati, and how to get started there

dan360man — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:10:01 -0000

You can sign up any blog, no matter what CMS it's on, up for Technorati.
Just follow the instructions on the page once you register, etc.

Re: New Tricks: Does a re-tweet on Twitter equal an endorsement?

I think there are better ways to do that.

Re: New Tricks: How to use Posterous

Seriously, Luke. What's up with that?

Could be an interesting way to present real estate information.

Re: New Tricks: How to use Posterous

dan360man — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:27:45 -0000

I like the more visceral nature of Posterous. I'd feel bad creating a post that's simply a link to a story, along with two sentences. I feel like I'd have to choose between two options:

1. Shortening it to a Tweet, and not posting it on my blog.
2. Expanding my thoughts to more than two sentences, to make it a legitimate blog post.

Posterous is flexible enough to do both. For the quick hits, it can re-post them as a Tweet. For a blog post, it syndicates to all of your other networks.

This just makes sense to me.

Re: Old Media vs. New Media: Battle to the death?

dan360man — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:39:06 -0000

IMHO, old media may have all the credibility in the world, but needs to earn street cred in the new media landscape if it is to remain relevant.

Just my two cents.
