This blog is a rollup of David L Smith, founder and CEO of Mediasmith,Inc. a digital advertising media agency. I post all of my writings from various sources to this blog.
Check out my recently posted entry on my Fast Company blog, Media Tech. The use of Facebook Connect and Twitter alongside mainstream edit on sites is the latest in the integration of social media into the mainstream. Now you can chat with your friends or see what others are saying about an event while interacting with that event on the Web. No need to switch back and forth from one page to another. This integration of content and consumer content is facilitated by the open APIs of social sites like Twitter and Facebook. Amazing progress.
Searching for video on the Web takes different tools and different processes. Mediasmith's Abe Snyder, Senior Media Planner (with me as editor) provides a basic tutorial talking about the current and future state of this process.
Andy was only in his 50's. He will be remembered by all who he touched as one of the good guys. Set an example by always being there for others. He died of a heart problem created by over radiation when they saved his life over 30 years ago. If you knew Andy, please post a note on his blog for his wife Jeanne. She is making a book for his children of everyone's thoughts and stories.
Mediasmith's own Bob Heyman, our Chief Search Officer just released his fourth book, titled Digital Engagement. You can get it at Amazon. Highly recommended. Also, check out his blog and feel free to comment.
