YouTube – Future Point Of View

Vocabulary (and the Social Quagmire)

OK, I am only going to write about this one time, and then I am going to let it go. I start every presentation I give on social technologies with the same slide, and each time I review it, the audience nods their heads as if to say, “now I get it…” This slide is a simple vocabulary lesson to try and bring some coherence and sense to the jumble of terms people are now using in the social space. It seems that each new day brings some new variation on an activity with the word social pasted in front of it.

The River of Information

Social Media – The Players

With all the buzz about SocMed in the world, I thought I would take a shot at identifying the various players in this exploding drama. It is easier to comprehend a complicated subject like this if we simply look at the participants and what they love, and what they hate [...]

To Block, or Not to Block. What shall we do?

Whenever I speak to a group of larger companies, I always ask the audience how many block common social media sites. On the average, about a third raise their hands. This becomes a common question they then ask me, “how do you feel about blocking common sites Scott?” So here [...]

Online Reputations – Worse Than High School

Humanity and the Socialtech Storm

There are moments in life when I am very conscious that I am an animal at heart. When I get hungry, there comes a point where I cannot focus on anything other than hunting prey – or at least a doughnut. When someone tackles me on the soccer field, I [...]

Measuring the Results of Social Media Participation

A question from a reader sparked this new stream. Jeff Hurt from NADP asked me if I has written anything on how to measure the success or failure of working with social media as a tool. Or, put another way, is our organization benefiting from the fact that we have [...]

Information Technology And Sustainability

The Internet is generally thought of as a tool that is used by organizations to transact business, or by individuals to communicate, research or get entertained. For those of us that are concerned about the sustainability of the Earths resources, and our ability to support billions of people at the [...]

Hierarchy of Crowdsourcing

I heard a speaker today vehemently making a point about how much the printing press impacted us as human beings because it made knowledge available to the common man. Although agree, it pales in comparison with what the Internet is doing for humanity. I was frankly a bit surprised that [...]

It’s Closer Than You Think

I was with a CEO last week in downtown Oklahoma City; we were talking about the perceived technology vacuum here in the middle of the country, and about how wrong that perception is. In fact, there is a vibrant and bustling community of developers, designers, and analysts here. Did you [...]
