Three panels dealt with social media and issues in health care, journalism and business. Comments from attendees can be seen on Twitter by searching for #knoxsummit. Read the rest of this entry »
Several of us at Moxley Carmichael decided to make some predictions for 2010. These are random at best and a bit eccentric. In other words, there’s something for everyone!

Smartphones
Smartphone popularity increases. Many professionals can’t imagine surviving without constant connection to e-mail, calendar entries and contacts, but just a mere 17 percent of Americans currently use smartphones. As data plans become more affordable, network speeds become faster and a greater variety of devices are made available, more Americans such as stay-at-home moms and college students will upgrade to smartphones.

My “Mad Men” predictions for Season 4:
Focus will be on building the fledgling firm – Sterling, Cooper, Draper & Pryce (SCDP).

I love online videos – and there are a lot for me to love. Watching missed episodes of “The Office” on Hulu. Finding funny clips on YouTube. Getting a dose of “you’re-nowhere-near-as-smart-as-these-people” on TED. Lots to find and enjoy.
Magma makes all that video content much more manageable. Developed by Rocketboom, Magma pulls videos from all over the Web (YouTube, Hulu, etc.) and organizes them any way you want to slice it. The column-based interface is clean, and the most impressive part is the organization of all that constantly changing video content.

My dear coworker, Ellen Robinson, is crazy about AMC’s “Mad Men,” as many New Streak readers are. So she sends me this article on how AMC embraces viewers actually “being” the show’s characters online. I find this fascinating and it made me wonder…
Recently on a local radio show the topic came up about live tweeting from Southeastern Conference (SEC) football games. It is actually AGAINST the SEC’s new media policy to tweet from games. Details can be found on The Bleacher Report.
Why? Because the SEC has contracts with networks and media providers to deliver the action of these games. OK, I understand that, but as a caller to the radio program pointed out, public tweeters are not profiting in any way by tweeting game action. If anything, this is free publicity for the networks. To me this seems like another attempt to stop a snowball that’s already screaming down the hill.
