|
Posted Thu, Jun 05, 2008 |
Well, Robert Scoble has pogoed his career -- from Microsoft to Fast Company-- by producing pretty amateurish online videos. So, why can't Communitelligence throw up a few and see what happens.

Communitelligence Upgrade -- More and Less
|
|
Posted Thu, Apr 10, 2008 |
My blog posts have been few and far between, for a bunch of reasons. In the last several months we've been planning five conferences, a dozen web seminars, a few workshops, and ... oh, yeah, putting Communitelligence.com through a major code and design upgrade.

Warning Against Sloppy PR Pitches
|
|
Posted Fri, Jan 11, 2008 |
|
Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired magazine, has had enough of PR professionals who slam his inbox with irrelevant pitches. He warns in a post at The Long Tail blog, that he will begin publishing the offending pro's email addresses with a note that they will be blocked irrevocably. Not only would it be embarrasing to be found on this list, it also raises the likelihood that offenders will be harvested by the real spammers.

The Uncertain Future of Writing, Photography & Design
|
|
Posted Sat, Apr 21, 2007 |
Yea, though I walk through the valley of new-fangled social media, I’m an old-school communicator at heart. I love the basics: words, images, design. To me, there’s no higher calling – and need -- these days than adeptly creating word-image-design solutions that inform, explain, clarify, entertain, entice, rebut and stand-out in today’s glutted info-landscape.

Eye on Communications ROI - A Reading List
|
|
Posted Mon, Mar 26, 2007 |
Jim Shaffer's Eye On ROI- FedEX teleseminar last week explored how some communicators--Terry Simpson of Fed-Ex in particular -- are moving from focusing on creating more news to creating better business outcomes. Unfortunately this is not a subject you can find in any universities yet, but in the meantime, here's a great reading list.

Building management trust for social media
|
|
Posted Sat, Jan 13, 2007 |
|
Last week I presented a half-day workshop on Online Communities and eCollaboration for the Iowa/IABC chapter in Des Moines. We spent what I, at least, thought was a fun and stimulating afternoon discussing all the buzz words that are in play today. They included Web 2.0, social media, blogs, wikis, RSS. search, tagging, knowledge-sharing, collective intelligence, wisdom of crowds, swarmteaming, smartmobs, mashups, conversation marketing, trust and transparency.

Employee vs. Consultant: who has the most "freedom"?
|
|
Posted Thu, Dec 28, 2006 |
|
I received a question from one of my communication colleagues (who wishes to remain anonymous) this week: "Do you ever regret leaving the corporate world?" I fired back a quick response to this very intriguing question, pasted in below, but thought it would be much more interesting to hear what others think. So please add your thoughts.

Why does business communication matter?

"I would say that a communications course is the one course you will use every day of your professional career. ... Eighty percent of the mistakes that happen in our working environment happen because of poor communication. Learn to be clear, concise communicators."

Why don't communicators write anymore?
|
|
Posted Sun, Nov 26, 2006 |
|
Perhaps the Internet has finally taken its toll on communicators. The very profession that was expected to embrace and make the most use the Web now seems to be "too busy" to use it to communicate, and are content to leave the writing to the amateurs.

Are Corporate Communicators Anti-social to Social Media?
|
|
Posted Thu, Sep 21, 2006 |

This week I served as moderator of the panel, “Applying new communication tools (i.e. blogs, wikis, widgets) in a large corporate setting.” I polled the audience of about 50 on whether they read blogs (a handful), listened to podcasts (about half-dozen), had their own a blog (about 3), used wikis (a few) and produced their own podcasts (a few). You could conclude from this very unscientific poll that c

How honest are you? (Don't lie)
|
|
Posted Sat, Aug 26, 2006 |
|
Are you curious about how you would stack up should a potential employer ask you to take an honesty test? If so, you might like to spend a half-hour taking the honesty test developed by Hugo M. Mialon, assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Emory University in Atlanta who is researching honesty in market interactions. He says employers are increasingly using honesty tests to screen potential employees.

What Senior Communicators are Happy About, and Worried About
|
|
Posted Sat, Jun 17, 2006 |
I was honored to be a panelist for the 2006 Think Tank sponsored by the IABC Research Foundation, held Sunday, June 4 before the start of the International Conference in Vancouver, BC. It really was a rare opportunity to brainstorm with a group of very savvy and diverse pros, and think about the next big things. My over-riding conclusion from the day: The role of the business communicator has never been so blurred and uncertain as it is in 2006.

Online Communities & eCollaboration -- report from Vancouver
|
|
Posted Tue, Jun 13, 2006 |

It was great fun presenting a session at the 2006 IABC International Conference in Vancouver Monday on "Online Communities & eCollaboration." There were chairs and handouts for 100, but about 140 showed up -- especially incredible since the session started at 7:15 a.m. So much for communicators not being morning persons.

When is a blog not a blog?
|
|
Posted Tue, May 09, 2006 |

..yes, many of our community leaders do tend to buck the blog protocol by preferring to post longer and more developed articles than the rapid-fire, short posts that rule the blogosphere. In a sense they are using blogs to easily publish, but are bucking the rigid rules … “Thall shalt blog frequently, briefly and opinionatedly.” (Am I the only one who is struck by the oddity that with blogs we now have the first new technology that comes with rules on how the technology must be used?"

Labor of love pains

I am writing this a few hours before this new site design is moved to public viewing. I have now been involved in about a half-dozen Web site launches. Every blessed one of them has conjured up all the emotions parents feel when they deliver a newborn: Excitement. Hope. Worry. Exhilaration. Labor pains.
