Mr. Social: Ashton Kutcher Plans to Be the Next New-Media Mogul

I've walked into the middle of a swine flu outbreak.

Leading in Social Media Monetization

Lena L. West — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:23:38 -0500

There are not many people I sit around thinking about meeting. It's not that I have a super-elevated opinion of myself. It's more than I'm your average (or not so average) jaded New Yorker who has seen things and met some people. A lot of things and a lot of people.

But, as stalker-ish as it might sound ever since I started working in IT more than a decade ago, I've wanted to meet Anu Shukla.

Finding the Customer You Didn't Know You Had

Douglas Crets — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:31:37 -0500

I've been working in my current role for about one and a half years, casting a net into a huge ocean of financial executives and looking for huge fish to secure, bring home, and enlist as corporate speakers in the live events that we do.

The basic method is: find the big fish, get them on the program, and then create marketing literature and web page content that attracts that big fish's cohorts.

Authors + Social Media = Tribes...and Tribes Sell Books

Lena L. West — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:43:30 -0400

Sure, attention is rapidly moving online, but truth is, having a traditional printed book still remains one of the most effective credibility-building tools out there.

Challenge is, whether you self-publish or go with a traditional publisher, the marketing is on you. (C'mon, you know it's the truth!)

So, my business pal, @JonathanFields wanted to wake other authors up to the need to step up and take control -- 'cause that's what he's all about.

Entrepreneurs Behaving Badly...

Breaking news….If you are a startup pursuing funding, you have more in common with a politician or athlete caught behaving badly then you might think.

Five New Schemes to Save Old Media

Clay Dillow — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:56:12 -0400

Those working in the media, particularly old media, are constantly cognizant that current revenue models for media companies are not working. Those who aren’t were reminded just how fragile things are this week as magazine house Conde Nast shuttered culinary mainstay Gourmet along with four other once-successful magazines to cut costs.

Art and Commerce Meet on Buildings' Interactive Media Facades

Kelsey Keith — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:21:20 -0400

The main strips of Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and Times Square are on the cutting-edge of illuminated media façades--emblazoned with hyper-animated, neon advertising. But there's a parallel movement to harness the technology for stylistic use, that is, for visionary design on the facades of museums or other pubic buildings.

The Facebook Era

Lena L. West — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:06:02 -0400

What seems like eons ago (but in reality was a few months ago), I interviewed Clara Shih (@clarashih), the author of The Facebook Era: Tapping Online Social Networks to Build Better Products, Reach New Audiences, and Sell More Stuff. and the cr

Social New, Now & Next: The Baltimore Marathon on "Social Media Steroids"

Lena L. West — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:43:14 -0400

I'm always interested in organizations that are taking the use of social media to the next level. And, Corrigan Sports qualifies. They plan to use some latest social media hotness, R2iSMASH, to showcase the Baltimore Marathon on October 10.

R2iSMASH, was created by R2integrated, and the technical explanation of it is:

Helping Companies Take on "the Cloud"

Lena L. West — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:39:15 -0400

More and more companies are diving into cloud computing, but there are security, quality and scalability concerns. That's where Sonoa Systems comes in.

If you're not like The Rolling Stones and you DO want people on your cloud, listen in as I have a techy-ish convo with Chet Kapoor, CEO, and Scott Regan, SVP of Marketing, of Sonoa Systems. (Hey, I got my start as a geek! What can I say?)

'Internet Manifesto' Outlines Web Journalism's Information Revolution

Clay Dillow — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:42:42 -0400

All great revolutions need great manifestos, and a group of influential German bloggers have delivered one, nailing their 17 theses on the future of journalism in the Internet age up in the most public of forums. Signed by 15 of Germany’s more popular online voices, the Internet Manifesto’s articles mostly take aim at old media doctrine, ranging from generalizations like “the Internet is different” to more specific notions like “Copyright becomes a civic duty on the Internet.”

Biz Stone Advance Video re: Twitter Hack

Lena L. West — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:03:35 -0400

Alas, poor Twitter. The service that we all know and love suffered a Fail Whale of 'orculean' proportions for two hours last week on August 6, 2009, due to a denial of service attack. We were all a little annoyed (read: lost without Twitter), but if you're anything like me, you're just glad Twitter's back up and running. After all, the world hearts Twitter.

How to Communicate with Teenagers, Pt I...

Matt Eventoff — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:48:08 -0400

When you figure it out, please tell me.

In all seriousness, in order to effectively communicate with someone, you need to have a basic understanding of that person’s frame of reference.

Through extensive lecturing at high schools and universities (as well as my niece torturing me by continuously friending and de-friending me on Facebook) it is very clear that the experiences for a teen growing up now is very different than it was for me.

How different?

NPR Faces the Future With Web Site Revamp, iPhone App

Kit Eaton — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:11:10 -0400

NPR's always been a kind of hybrid animal existing alongside conventional radio stations in the U.S. But the rise of the Internet has threatened public radio's future just as much as its commercial brethren. So, like all good wild beasts, it's evolving.

What Are You Watching on Meagan Good?

Marc Reynolds — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:33:51 -0400

One day we may watch movies live in the theatres from an
official studio website. Until then we can follow those movie stars on the sets
of those films live... kinda. First, Ashton Kutcher beat CNN to the 1,000,000
Twitter follower marker in a celebrity self-press vs. the "Press" battle for real-time news feeding. And now, there’s
actress Meagan Good, who is showing what Hollywood actors can do independently on the web...

DREAM JOB: $70k to use Twitter and Facebook!

Richter10.2 Media Group — Thu, 14 May 2009 09:37:57 -0400

I was reading this article…http://mashable.com/2009/05/09/twitter-facebook-job/

And, honestly, I’m not really surprised. A county in Oregon wants to pay someone $60k-$70k a year for a job that requires using facebook and twitter. Seems a bit outrageous, but take a look.

Economics and Truth: CultureofFuture.com and IDEO

Jody Turner — Sat, 02 May 2009 19:15:51 -0400

Quite a gap of time since we last posted! It is definitely a whirlwind time of shift and change. Are we busy? We are busy here at CultureofFuture.com – framing change in a way that inspires learned pathways and wise reengagements. This is a reframing that allows us to feel the loss, indulge (if briefly) in the paper media fright fest and yet move deliberately forward toward new business models of media divergence, slow money, product and services, including a reinvention of value, energy and life metric systems.
