“The new journalism (and the new Marketing) is about having a nose for news. It’s about being able to tell a story that will connect with people. If no one is following you on Twitter or posting to your Facebook page or watching your videos on YouTube, here’s the cold, hard truth: it’s not resonating. Watch the story of Ted Williams. Think about this videographer and the story they uncovered. There are more stories like Ted Williams – where the mass public will see it and feel it… and act on it. The new journalism (and the new Marketing) won’t be a as heavily reliable on the traditional media channels, because now we have other ways to get stories to spread and reach critical mass. We’ve been waiting for the Web to truly deliver on this promise… and now it can.” Source: twistimage.com

Is This Real Life? In Defense of Our Virtual Connections

It’s important for me to say something emphatically and as clearly as I can. This IS real life. Or a facet of it, anyway. One that is very much alive. Communications that happen on Twitter or Skype or Facebook or blogs or whatever are every bit as real as a conversation you might have over the phone or email.Is there an increased ability for disingenuous sorts to use those conversation mechanisms for subterfuge? Sure. That’s not a new concept, either. The jackasses adapt to the tools at their disposal, and the availability of more and faster tools doesn’t and never will change human nature.
