The Washington Post has a great legacy although has been losing readers and reach for years. Jeff Bezos just bought them and with it an opportunity to give journalists the permission to be the informed and critical medium it has long forgot it needs to be (even though the general populace has become more interested in shallow celebrity stuff than real life):
There is no map, and charting a path ahead will not be easy. We will need to invent, which means we will need to experiment. Our touchstone will be readers, understanding what they care about – government, local leaders, restaurant openings, scout troops, businesses, charities, governors, sports – and working backwards from there.
To go deep (not just wide).
To consolidate memory.
Regain focus.
Reflect.
Create.
Play.
That means no more blogging / Twitter / Tumlbr / Pinterest / Facebook / RSS feeds…
Don’t know how long—definitely for a good few weeks / months (during my west coast trip), maybe longer.
“The quieter we are, the more patient and open we are in our sadnesses, the more deeply and serenely the new presence can enter us, and the more we can make it our own, the more it becomes our fate.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
In the past couple of years the whole social media space has become noisy with advertisers / marketeers and diluted with experts.
That being said, recently I’ve discovered the next set of questions—just have to work out if I have the energy to start another business around them and if I’m in the right place for folks who are ready buy.
Still available for hire regarding consulting and speaking gigs (no more training services though unless it’s c-suite level).
Come to the edge we said, and they said no, it’s too high;
Come to the edge we said, and they said no, we’re going to fall;
Come to the edge we said, and they very reluctantly came, and we pushed, and they flew!
1 Giant Leap produced a range of emotions rarely evoked by any documentary—a pure triumph of creative excellence!
Recently, I wanted to move my Skype contacts to my username but there’s no way to export to make it easy.
Here’s a hack I found:
All the contacts usernames should now be in the text file.
Now there’s no way to import these into the new account but at least you can search via their usernames (which is half the battle as many people are hard to find without this).
The above is for Mac and would love if anyone can confirm this works in Windows as well… leave a comment.
Hope this helps someone.
The blurb from the event:
DK will speak about Te Papa’s Warhol Immortal exhibition and its interactive social and digital media campaign to generate excitement around the exhibit, and get people actively participating and interacting with the campaign, which also rewarded and celebrated those active on social media channels.
He will also touch on the ins and outs of freelance social media, and being hyper aware of governance procedures when working with other organisations.
DK is a bit of veteran SMCWgtn-er, speaking at one of our events last year about getting back to the basics of social media, as well as being the awesome person who brought us TEDxTeAro!
