SPOS #215 - Media Hacks #34

Welcome to episode #215 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #34 of Media Hacks. Hugh McGuire (Book Oven, Bite-Sized Edits, LibriVox), Julien Smith (co-author of Trust Agents, In Over Your Head) and I met for a sushi lunch and decided to record the latest episode of Media Hacks. We all agree that we love the ambient background noise (even the music) that comes from recording live - we hope you do too. We're not sure if it was the green tea or the sashimi that brought us down the rambling topics we cover, but it sure was heavy, intense and required most of us to get some fresh air right after recording. In this episode we look at everything from publishing, privacy, data and location to anonymity, net neutrality, circumcision (not a typo) and the future of media. The biggest thought: it's getting hard to opt-out of the online world and perhaps we have to review our own perceptions of ourselves. Enjoy the conversation...

Penn - Blue Sky Factory - Marketing Over Coffee. Live and in person from a Sushi joint - enjoy the music and the sounds of us chowing down. Julien had a killer Blog post: Life Doesn't Start Tomorrow. Julien feels that he can be like Seth Godin. People react to Social Media best when it's (a little) like mass media. We love traditional mass media headlines. NO longer ignoring baseline connections with people. It's a little about "how many" and little bit about "who" is following you. People, you should follow Hugh McGuire on Twitter. Hugh and Julien start making out because the music is so loud in the restaurant. Kindle makes some major news. Hugh still doesn't care. We're getting close to the moment where technology becomes a commodity. Closed platforms and open platforms. Is a Social Media crash coming? Inspired by Chris Brogan's Blog. The shift from an advertising mindset to a marketing mindset. SCVNGR Puts the Game Back in Location-Based Gaming. Facebook's Foursquare-like location tool is coming, sources say. Google, Verizon and net-neutrality. In Google-Verizon Deal, Fears for Privacy. Google's Next Step Is Not Search. People steal music because it's easy. Selling content is always a more complex process. Julien thinks I had media training. I think I look like an idiot. Does the Internet eventually become a pipe? Is it possible that Google is using a position with Verizon to really just cut deals and beat the leveraging of others? Mobile is the important thing. Who are the big players and what is Microsoft's game? (full disclosure: Microsoft is a client's of Twist Image). Closed is great at the beginning but over time, open is better. The money is not in the advertising - it's in the data and the marketing information. You are being followed, tracked and recorded. Deal with it. Time for Obama to shut down WikiLeaks' Assange. Does the freedom of information threaten democracy. The Next Big Thing Online Could Well Be Anonymity. Think about what you publish. Now think about everything you search for being public. Does Julien have a rash? The social implications of publishing our lives online. Humankind has a history of making decisions for others without consent. Welcome to our universe. We get upset about what Google is doing, but the credit card companies know everything about you. Google is the ultimate media company. The philosophy of the media and the Internet. We are all not that important in the grand scheme of things. Sub dermal implants, Nostradamus and the number of the beast. Privacy vs. convenience. We are meat. We are all the same. Dance monkey... dance. Trust Agents is now available in paperback (and it has been updated) - buy lots of copies. David Usher (with Marie Mai) - 'Je Repars' (in French).

SPOS #214 - The Ghost Blogging Debate With Mark W. Schaefer

Welcome to episode #214 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. If there's one debate that never gets tired, it's the one about Ghost Blogging. We've come to this strange intersection with Social Media where companies want to Blog, but they feel like their CEO (or others within the company) would best be served if that voice was created by a ghost writer. It's an issue that irritates me because I don't agree with it, but I do understand why businesses do it (hence my frustration). Mark W. Schaefer (over at Grow) had a great Blog post titled, Why It's Ridiculous To Argue About Ghost Blogging, that ran contrary to a post I had published titled, The Death of Social Media (which focused on executives now hiring individuals to tweet for them on Twitter). While the comments and conversations were/are fantastic, we decided to have a Skype chat/debate about the topic. Here it is. Enjoy the conversation...

Julien Smith - In Over Your Head - Co-author of Trust Agents. Mark W. Schaefer over at Grow had a great post titled, Why it's ridiculous to argue about ghost blogging. Mark's post had a reference to a Blog post of mine titled, The Death Of Social Media. In fact, his post was so good, that it caused some great conversation in the comment section. From there, we figured that this horse has been beaten to death, but why not break out the old chestnut again? This is our conversation/debate/agreement/hope for the future.

SPOS #213 - Jaffe And Joel #7 (Across The Sound 7.20)

Welcome to episode #213 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and the newly minted, Flip The Funnel). Along with that, he is currently one of the chiefs over at the Social Media Marketing agency, Powered. A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our seventh conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 7.20), and this one focuses on the chaos that is the new Old Spice advertising campaign.

SPOS #211 - Media Hacks #33

Welcome to episode #211 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #33 of Media Hacks. Instead of the usual phone conversation, Hugh McGuire, Julien Smith and I met up for an early morning breakfast at the infamous Bagels Etc... in beautiful Montreal. The conversation floated between mass media versus Social Media to looks at everything from how Old Spice is leveraging the convergence of the two, to why both Clay Shirky and Nicholas Carr have new business books that are well-worth reading (even though they both don't agree with one another). We also attempt to tackle the conversation over content and its value (re: pricing model) in our current society, and many other hacking media topics. As with most episodes of Media Hacks, some of the language is not safe for work (you have been warned). Enjoy the conversation...

Christopher S. Penn - Blue Sky Factory - Marketing Over Coffee. Live from Bagel Etc... in Montreal (one of Leonard Cohen's regular hang-out). We're all in festival fever... make that the world-famous Just For Laughs comedy festival. The advertising landscape have shifted because of Web culture. What is famous? Old Spice, Social Media and the convergence of all media. Old Spice Voicemail Generator. The new advertising takes stories in different directions. Welcome to transmedia. Are we a part of pop culture or nerd culture... or is pop culture now nerd culture? Please excuse us for the eating and chewing sounds... it is what it is. We should all follow a backpack. It's not about mass media... it's about communities of interest. The impact of Clay Shirky's new book, Cognitive Surplus. Some things cross into the mainstream but most stuff does not. Packaging rather than content. The easier to digest the more the mass populous hops on it. The types of people who use Twitter and how it plays out. The brilliance of Twitter lies in its constraints. Nicholas Carr and his new book, The Shallows, and Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus. We're starting to see/hear/read the splinters in Internet culture and how it plays out with Social Media. Is Google Making Us Stupid? - The Atlantic. Who else goes to the bathroom to check their iPhones all of the time? Welcome to the age of rapid social anxiety growth. Good calories - Bad calories (while Julien is eating a mish mash). Moving to the asynchronous life of book reading - fully digital. You can do this with the iBook, Kindle and/or Kobo app for your mobile. Also make sure to grab both Readability and InstaPaper. The way we write and read changes. What the Dickens? We need to divide the culture from the business model. Books do not need to so big anymore. The constraint is there to support the business not the content. This is not essential to the culture. Can we homogenize the content? What media gives more depth - a Blog or a business book? What is the best way to do something vs. the best way to make money (or whatever else you're trying to accomplish). We need to break free or experiment more with content. A Blog is more powerful and deep way to explore content than a book is - this will scare publishers. What mass media can learn from The Grateful Dead. Does the mass amount of content devalue the content? Put a pay-wall up for everything: what would you pay for monthly access to Blogs? You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier. Finland makes broadband Internet access a human right. The supply and demand of information and where the money goes. We all do have the resources to create media and content. There are no restrictions. David Usher - 'Je Repars' (in French with Marie Mai). Please join the conversation by sending in questions, feedback and ways to improve Six Pixels Of Separation.

SPOS #210 - Mistakes We Have Made A Few - Featuring Avinash Kaushik

Welcome to episode #210 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Avinash Kaushik (Analytics Evangelist at Google and the author of the best-selling business books, Web Analytics - An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0) reached out to me about an idea for an episode of the Six Pixels of Separation podcast. Kaushik wanted to have a candid conversation not about what we've done right in business and in Social Media, but what we got wrong and what we learned from it. It's powerful to reflect on your mistakes and the outcomes, and it was also a fascinating conversation about Marketing, leadership, management, maturity, Social Media and every other nook and cranny we've both played in (and got ours knees scraped along the way).

SPOS #209 - Media Hacks #32

Welcome to episode #209 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #32 of Media Hacks. On the line is C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire, Christopher S. Penn and yours truly. In this episode, we celebrate the announcement of C.C.'s upcoming book, Content Rules (co-written with the truly awesome Ann Handley from MarketingProfs) which leads us down the rabbit hole into a conversation about content, authenticity, publishing (as usual) and how we all connect, create, curate and find content. And, in the end, none of us can figure out how to hold a phone the right way (who knew?). Beyond that we discuss devices and content and what this business may (or may not) look like.

Not present: Chris Brogan - New Marketing Labs - Co-author of Trust Agents. Julien Smith - In Over Your Head - Co-author of Trust Agents. C.C. Chapman is officially an author. The book is called, Content Rules, with Ann Handley from MarketingProfs. Sadly, C.C. can't explain what a book is ;) A conversation about Blogging, content and mass media. The Good Old Days. The value of links, retweets and web analytics. The homogenization of Social Media. Content has to be fun too. How the FCC Plans to Regulate Internet Lines via The Wall Street Journal. Filter, curate and crowdsourcing. How should publishing be different? Why it's ridiculous to argue about ghost blogging. Moving away from Google Reader to Twitter to really be "in the know". The challenge of RSS and syndication versus (or with) the real-time(ish) Web. The changing media habits of people. Google Buzz is also driving great content tips and ideas (at least, C.C. says so). So, what's the buzz about Google Buzz? It turns out you were holding your phone the wrong way. You can never make an early adopter happy. Remember, all issues are resolved through a software update. Life is just that easy. Did you ever believe the bars or reception notification on your phone? TED - Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man. Great news about woot getting acquired by Amazon. Amazon buys world's biggest bog o' crap, and it's call woot. Google, Apple and Amazon are locked in a very interesting fight. Is it the device or the content? We may be a little stuck in publishing purgatory at this point. eReading devices are only a commodity and they will disappear (says Hugh). And with all of this, Amazon Kindle continues to roll out new devices and lower prices. The business challenge is this: if the devices don't matter and people steal the content, where does that leave us? The open vs. closed platform for publishing and the Web.

SPOS #207 - Media Hacks #31

Welcome to episode #207 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It's not about whether or not banner advertising works, it's about how we are designing the Internet. More often than not, publishers create pages that are better for their advertisers than they are for their consumers. When that happens, consumers vote with their clicks, their Facebook status updates and with their tweets. The model for the Internet, Marketing and communications is more complex than ever. In this episode of Media Hacks, Christopher S. Penn, Hugh McGuire and myself explore some of the bigger changes that are happening online right now. This includes new developments like Apple's Retina Display as well as what email can (and should) do better. Enjoy the conversation...

Ninja gives us the rundown on the economy. It's time to shut down the government for twenty years and start printing money. ...And with all of that, the release of the new iPhone still crashed both the AT&T and Apple website. We are getting tired of being poor and we're not going to take it. We are fine with living in debt... especially if it's cheap. The big debate: do you buy an iPad or wait for the new iPhone 4G and get the next generation iPad? A chat about the new iPhone. It's all about Retina Display. The new iBook shelf can scrape email and work in PDF formats. Once again, we're talking about location. A new conversation about a smarter email system. There is a lot of talk about people not using email in the future. Like Facebook: Email: Press Delete. Managing information is still a struggle and it's not perfect. Can Google Wave save us? Does anybody remember bacn? Hugh gets provocative: Death to Design? Death to the Banner Ad? Loving both Readability and InstaPaper. Avinash Kaushik (Analytics Evangelist, Google and author of Web Analytics 2.0) is all about not being a selfish lover. Text will be displayed in many different ways, so let's make the text more like data. Banners ads vs. Display advertising vs. the needs/wants of the reader. How much stock is there in display advertising? Ad-blocking is bigger than you think. Danny Sullivan's take on Readability and display advertising. Twitter and the new Promoted Tweets. Broadcasting Works (Even In Social Media). Twitter has over 125 million users. Twitter is now Times Square. I rant about why banner advertising really messed up New Media. What is the Internet as a media channel? What can it be? With reading as the primary driver, who designs for the reader? The Huffington Post design works well for them. As does the Craigslist design. What provides comfort is what will win. The flow of iPad usability will change the game (again). Twitter Places is coming. Check out The Deal Map.

SPOS #206 - How To Rock Twitter With Unmarketing

Welcome to episode #206 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Do you question the value of Twitter? Do you still wonder if all Twitter does is help you know when people you don't care about are having pizza? Do you think there is a value for businesses to use Twitter? What about Twitter as a Marketing channel? Does it work? Can it work? If anyone would know the answers to these questions, Scott Stratten would. Stratten has well over 50,000 followers on Twitter (@unmarketing) and this had led to a very successful career in consulting, speaking and writing. Currently, Scott is promoting his first business book (named after his Twitter handle and consulting company), UnMarketing - Stop Marketing. Start Engaging (due out in early September). If you are still on the fence about Twitter, or even if you're on Twitter but struggling to build a relevant audience, this is for you. Enjoy the conversation...
