Thinking With Mitch Joel

Welcome to episode #185 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #23 of Media Hacks. We have the whole gang present (with the exception of Chris Brogan who was too busy at CES - lucky guy!). Along with some interesting/new New Year announcements, we deep dive on the Nexus One (aka the Google Phone) which leads us into a deep conversation about data, information and the great race towards a mobile society. We also look at all of the hooplah at CES over e-readers (a topic that is near and dear to all of our hearts). As if that were not enough, we also discuss the value of content (and its perceived value) in a world where everybody wants everything for free. Enjoy the conversation...

(no news now, but we'll get the exclusive!). Those who say they are at CES are really at AEE. Nexus One - The Google Phone. JASP - Just Another Smart Phone... or not. Unlocked... and what that means. Is Android the bigger deal here? Google Public DNS. Google applies to become power trader. Google's mobile data center. What is Google's business? Google's philosophy.

Welcome to episode #184 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. As I stated last week, I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. One of the main reasons I agreed to speak and attend this conference was because it was going to finally be my chance to meet Jason Falls from Social Media Explorer in our protein forms. We had been following one another for years and Falls is one of the top Social Media Marketing Bloggers, speakers and consultants "out there". As you can hear in this conversation, we take a look at everything from what it's like to be called a, "Social Media Consultant" and the power of search to what the landscape is and will be in 2010. Jason was my second victim (errr... I mean, "guest"!) from the Supergenius event (and there's one more to come in the following weeks). Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #183 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. Saul Colt (who definitely is The Smartest Man In The World!) was kind enough to introduce me to someone who I have been following (both their Blog and on Twitter) for many years. Liz Strauss is a fireball of insight and knowledge about the digital channel and building real relationships for brands. She has a very successful Blog (named Successful Blog) and is widely regarded as one of "go to" people for brands working the online channel. Her wildly successful conference, SOBCon, happens every year in Chicago, and she was kind enough to spend some time talking about these digital channels and how they help to connect business. Liz was my first victim (errr... I mean, "guest"!) from the Supergenius event. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #182 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also the latest episode of Media Hacks (#22 - hard to believe we made it this far). This will be the last Media Hacks for 2009 and in this episode we discuss the language issue (again, and hopefully for the last time), the changing face of the e-book, the speed of which we're getting new technology and how this year panned out. We've got Christopher S. Penn (aka The Ninja), Hugh McGuire and myself on this episode. Lots of different topics with lots of back and forth. Enjoy the conversation...

A note to social media pottymouths. Are we building an audience, having a conversation or both? e-book reading and how it changes reading (not just publishing). The New Yorker - A New Page by Nicholson Baker. Shortcovers becomes Kobo Books. The Ninja recommends Calibre e-Book Management. The Ninja's Blog post about: Turning your Kindle into the best newsstand ever for free. The fast cycle of new technology (and how disposable it is). What we're reading right now (you have to listen for this one ;) Barnes & Noble releases Nook. Time to kill these impersonal Holiday Greetings by email. The Grinch that is Hugh McGuire.

Seth Godin, best-selling business book author and top business Blogger, discusses taking risks, embracing failure, hatching ideas, spreading them, the shift in what is valuable, handling negative feedback on social media, and shares repetitive nonsensical phrases.

Welcome to episode #180 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #21 of Media Hacks. We have a pretty full crew on this latest episode of Media Hacks. C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire, Julien Smith and me tackle everything from the language we use to augmented reality. It's a lively debate about our new world as we all seem to grapple with how to make a Podcast something more and something different than just another radio show. We also look at how mobile and online social networks are quickly becoming one as more and more gaming-type components get added to the fray. This Podcast is not work-safe (it rarely is when Julien's involved). Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #180 - Host: Mitch Joel.

Penn - The Financial Aid Podcast - Marketing Over Coffee. Shout-out to Taylor! (the other listener). Julien's filthy mouth and his addiction to foursquare. Online Social Networks that create a more interesting life. C.C. like Gowalla too. Is asking, "what's the point of foursquare?" the same as when most of us asked, "what's the point of Twitter?" a year and a half ago? Grappling with the use of naughty language and how it can affect both reputation and growing audience. Is swearing and "Selling out" related? Tiger Woods forgot about his Digital Footprint (or didn't care). A current view of privacy. If this was not real enough, let's look at Augmented Reality. Lego Augmented Reality. CNBC - Inside The Mind of Google. Our ever-growing hunger and love for more information. Julien drops off. Does anyone else hate those "best of", "top 10" and "the year in review" types of content that get pumped out this time of year. The quiet news cycle. Creating content consistently. Plans for the holidays. David Usher - 'Kill The Lights'. Please join the conversation by sending in questions, feedback and ways to improve Six Pixels Of Separation.

Welcome to episode #179 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. A couple of weeks back, I had the pleasure of attending Marketing Week. The closing keynote speaker for the Digital Day was none other than David Weinberger. Weinberger is one of four co-authors of the seminal Marketing and Business book, The Cluetrain Manifesto (which was recently released in a 10th Anniversary format). He is also the author of two other amazing books about Marketing, Business, the Internet and the future titled, Small Pieces Loosely Joined, and, Everything Is Miscellaneous. He's been on the Six Pixels of Separation Podcast a couple of times in the past, and always provides enlightening insights into consumers and why they do things (or why they don't). In this episode we look at what has happened in the past ten years since The Cluetrain Manifesto came out and where things are going. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #178 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #20 of Media Hacks and it's live from New York City. In a very rare moment, the entire Media Hacks crew - Chris Brogan, C.C. Chapman, Christopher S. Penn, Julien Smith and myself (with the exception of Hugh McGuire) - converged in New York City for the Web 2.0 Expo (and Web 2.Open). Wednesday night after dinner, we all met up at the Roger Smith Hotel (in Julien's chambers) and recorded the following rambles, tangents, swear words and non-relevant-to-marketing conversations. That being said, it got interesting, we wavered, we switched, we debated and we made a ton of inside jokes. In the end, the conversation looks at the audience, the new media and those swimming in the deep end of it all. Enjoy the conversation (but keep in mind this is not work safe)...

Our live studio audience: Whitney Hoffman and Chel Pixie. Recorded live at the Roger Smith Hotel during Web 2.0 Expo and Web 2.Open. Breaking news: this Podcast is not work safe. A little chat about Web 2.0 Expo. A brief discussion about Douglas Rushkoff and economies beyond money. The power of hashtags from Baratunde Thurston. The great Twitter controversy of Web 2.0 Expo. Are the people who are tweeting up-staging the speakers? Everything is meta. Do you measure up? The value of the individual tweet. It's all about being a part of the audience. If we don't tangent, what do we have? "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture." Feeding systems. Red pill - blue pill... how we navigate the system. Christopher S. Penn whips out a knife (not kidding). Is Twitter getting tired? Chris Brogan and his Twitter Mafia. Twitter sensitivity - in terms of filling the Twitter stream. Thoughts around how well Seth Godin manages his time, effort and value delivered. The power of leverage. Guy Kawasaki and how he manages Twitter. Robert Scoble still thinks that Brogan is doing Twitter wrong. The Serendipity Engine. Awkward moments... they're important to the authenticity of this show. Networks have noise (deal with it). What is community? (we take a shot at this question). Equality of opportunity and equality of results. Communities need leaders. The Internet is not about equals... nor is communities.

Welcome to episode #177 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is an important episode. It is not a standard episode of the Podcast, but something very different. This is a conversation with the thriller novelist, J.C. Hutchins. As Marketers, it's important to listen and learn from people like Hutchins. He's an individual who always wanted to be a published author and nothing was going to get in his way. So, after tons of rejection, he took Marketing matters into his own hands, embraced the online channel (specifically Social Media) and started building community, audience and interest in his words. The result has been nothing short of spectacular, and hearing Hutchins share his story will definitely get you thinking differently about what you do everyday to connect consumers to your products, services and brands.

Welcome to episode #176 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It's not a great excuse, but business travel has kept the Podcast from being published - which (as you will hear) is a very lame excuse. Regardless, here is another episode of Media Hacks (it's #19). It's actually just a very personal conversation with Julien Smith about community, business, communication, business books and how to own your platform(s). Also, it's Julien, so please note that some of the language is not work-safe (like every second word out of his mouth). Enjoy the conversation...

Chapman - Managing The Gray - Advance Guard. Hugh McGuire - LibriVox - The Book Oven. Christopher S. Penn - The Financial Aid Podcast - Marketing Over Coffee. Where were we? What happened? Are we back? Did Robert Scoble miss us? The power of publishing with consistency. How do you build a platform and what it can do for you. Building community for when you need it... not building a community when you need it. How great companies at really building a community? The network is everything. The DNA of community building. You can't buy community, but you sort of can... A side-tangent on The Cluetrain Manifesto (and stories of jetlag). What is techno-paganism? Not sure... but Julien knows. Lots of shilling of business books. AdLounge - Marketers Turned Authors. When The Comments And Links Go Dry. Blogging is your duty. 52 books a year is a lofty goal. The Internet is still about building hype. Bringing people up (and down) - the cycle of power. Why me? Why not me? Music from the Podsafe Music Network: New Leaf - 'Magic Carpet'.
