My local paper talks about Podcasting…and Me.

Chuck and I have been doing Technorama for almost 2 years now. (That in itself is hard to imagine) It has been fascinating to see Podcasting grow over the last few years, and Technorama as well.

It has grown so much now that my local paper The Herald even wrote an article about it….

‘It’s growing, it’s big, it’s huge’ — it’s a local podcast
It’s podcasting, and as Steppe described, “it transcends a radio station.” After all, there are no call letters. No paid DJs. Just some technologically skilled folks connecting through a common interest. Podcasts can be about anything and any length.

BTW…I don’t really consider myself a World Wide DJ….LOL

Old Pictures…

This is a site I found through digg. It is several collections of old photos that are organized into themes. The link originally pointed to some color photos of England from around 1890, However, I moved around and found that there are a lot of Old color and B&W photos that are captivating. Some dating from late 1800’s to 1950s.

Merry Christmas…Happy Holidays

The Christmas feeling…spirit…whatever you want to call it…Finally got to me at mass this afternoon. After Communion, as I was leaving the alter rail, there was a gentlemen at the stairs and he wished me “Merry Christmas” For some reason, that moment, just clicked with me. I hope it does for you too today.

Thanks.

Viral Marketing

I recently received an email from The Beatles. (Not a personal one) and something struck me as funny….

LOVE Media Player for Your Site
To coincide with the release of “LOVE”, we have launched a viral mini-media player that you can embed into your web, myspace and bebo pages…

It is one thing to consider videos and things passed around the internet as Viral Marketing. However it is another for marketing material to refer to something that they are offering as viral. Doesn’t have the same ring to it, and it shows their hand a bit. “Here you do the work for us.”

Long Live the Beatles
