Commentary by blog and social media consultant Josh Hallett on the use of blogs for public relations, media, marketing, communication & branding and from time-to-time the unsolicited opinion.
I'm standing in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel during Syndicate wearing my PepperRubel T-shirt. Somebody approaches me from behind and reads the back of the shirt out loud "We put the PR in PR....that's great!" He proceeds to introduce himself, while looking at the front of my shirt, "PepperRubel, cool....Hi, I'm X from Y we do Z, let me know if we can ever help you out."
Sure, no problem.
Here is the audio from the breakout session on Structured Blogging.
On the panel were:
Jen Consalvo - AOL
Eli Chapman - Mediatronica
Constantine Gus Spathis - PubSub
Chad Dickerson - Yahoo
Scott Abel - The Content Wrangler
Here's the audio from the morning keynote by Steven Schwartz of Reuters.
Steven Schwartz from Reuters is on stage at Syndicate. He's giving a good overview of what Reuters is doing with content/syndicataion but he keeps using the term value proposition. I know the business relevance of the concept, but as a customer/consumer/person that phrase means nothing to me.
Here is the audio from the Syndication and Community Development session.
On the panel were:
Pete Blackshaw - Nielsen BuzzMetrics
Bill Schreiner - AOL - AIM
Jason Levitt -Yahoo
At Syndicate Jason Levitt from Yahoo just mentioned this URL: http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/
It's a complete list of every RSS feed that Yahoo publishes. It's quite a comprehensive list.
Update: Turns out I do have the audio, here it is.
I jacked into the audio panel to record this session, but the line level was nill so I have no audio from this session. I didn't take any notes since I was intent on listening/participating.
On the panel were:
Dave Panos - Pluck
Peter Negulescu - San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Horam - AllBusiness.com
Here is the audio from the final morning keynote from Syndicate. It was a spirited discussion about the future of RSS.
On the panel were:
David Geller - WhatCounts
Mike Davidson - NewsVine
David Sifry - Technorati
Eric Ella - Brightcove
As David Sifry is on stage at Syndicate, a search for 'syndicate' on Technorati returns nothing.
I know David gets tired of providing tech support/apologizing for his product, but it's sometimes tough for us lovers or Technorati to constantly pimp their service when things like this happen.
Here is the audio from the keynote session on Building Brands Through Compelling Podcast Content:
I know quite a few of the people around me didn't agree with many of Scott Sigler's views, so let the discussion begin.
I have uploaded two MP3 files from this morning's Syndicate keynotes. Both of them were simple recordings with my iRiver. Luckily I was right next to the speak the the sound quality is pretty good. There are some jumps as the microphones turned on and off. I think the most interesting one is the conversation with Richard Edelman:
Syndicate-Edelman.mp3
Syndicate-Jarvis.mp3
Some quick notes from Richard Edelman's conversation at Syndicate.
Brian has more on this session. I am recording it.
Over-training leads to a lack of credibility, PR people act like robots, that's not natural. PR also has to learn that it's now more words, audio and video is now part of the common culture. Blog readers and youth expect this.
Here is the audio from Richard's interview:
My marathon travel week has begun. I made the mad dash from Orlando to Tampa to catch my JetBlue flight to NYC for Syndicate. Next stop the Big Apple.
