Communicating online/offline: a quick reference

Friday, September 11th, 2009

If you read this blog once in a while, you probably remember the announce that I posted on 2009-04-22: “Social Networking: First Book

At the time, I added only the link to the printed version.

This article is really what I could call a “meta-article”: an article about articles.

With links and references not just to material published in this blog, but also material that I published elsewhere, and bibliographical references.

DIY cross-media without a budget

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

In my career, I often came across people with a nice idea, committed to what they wanted to do, but with a single, specific drawback: their audience wasn’t limited to their location.

Internet solved this issue- or so it seems. Because it is still too “technical”

This post is not only to share experience on how to use Internet-based channels, but integrating my experience in doing something offline- like political or product leaflets, and then direct marketing for services, helping to organize information events, and so on.

As a preview, I will cover here only the “launch” or “seed” phase, giving you all the information needed to create from scratch a new mixed online-offline presence.

And without a budget.

This blog, beside being a personal blog, is a commentary on technology & politics.

If you follow my blog here or on draugiem.lv, you know that since February, when I started publishing online this blog, I publish here more “business-oriented” items.

But I publish first on my other publishing venue items that, beside containing containing something more about “how” I did come to develop certain ideas or approaches; only when at least 40 readers visited a post there, appeared here.

Today, a “mirror image publishing” to simplify accessing only the business-oriented posts.

Gated communities

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My American friends will certainly assume that I am referring to locations like, say, those towns that allow only residents above 50 years of age.

And this is a partially correct assumption.

Without knowing, you too belong to probably more than one “gated community”.

social networking as a social experience: embedding new technologies in real life

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Social networking nowadays is considered just a synonym for MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

And the Wikipedia link shown above is a classical example: you search for social networking, and you get social network service.

But it started before. And it is not limited to that.

During the Summer of 2009 I will start to release part of my research (few hundred pages, and few thousand pages of supporting references, links, articles, etc), on “cross-media convergence” in business

do you twitter? spice it up!

Friday, February 27th, 2009
