Marc Blevis of Electric Sky & One More Book among many others
Hi All a Second day has dawned, and now I have Internet connectivity. Of course I didn’t have time. So now after the fact I’m throwing the notes up for all to use.
On to The Notes…
Conversation as a core competency.
- Conversation is to podcasting as a sound bite is to radio.
- Business is just starting to realize the power of it podcasting / community.
- Whirlpool as a corporate podcast does not mention the products they talk about real life experiences.
- ButterBall has a turkey hotline podcast, reinforces the brand while providing a service.
The difference between the blog evangelists and the corp podcasts is Soul & heart.
Conversations need to have soul to work
Community as a competency.
- Size does not matter, a small cohesive community is more power and has more weight behind it than a large fractured community.
- Advertisers don’t understand the concept, but need to learn to build Organically.
- The slower you build the more connected that
- Build your brand, make an entrance. Be noticed, ie Hawaiian shirt guy ect.
Asynchronous communication. Radio is real time call ins possible. Podcasting has a two way conversation. Email is to IM what voicemail is to call in.
Podcasters need to extend themselves. Podcasting is a close form, such as letter-writing.
