How to Stalk your Children with Social Media
From time to time, I like to take five minutes out of my day to watch videos from the Onion for a good laugh. A few months back, I shared with you a video that I found to be quite funny titled, “YouTube Contest Challenges Users To Make A ‘Good’ Video.” Our friend Larry Kless posted the following video, “Facebook, Twitter Revolutionizing How Parents Stalk Their College-Aged Kids,” on his blog as the “Web Video of the Week.” I liked this one and thought you all might enjoy it as well.
Social Media & User-Generated Video – The Power Of Trust
We wanted to share Part 2 of our interview with Nate Elliott, the Principal Analyst at Forrester Research (see Part 1 The Groundswell -here). The interview was conducted during the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose in mid-August, where Elliott was a keynote speaker.
Social Media: Sharing, Theft and the Fine Line
I’ve recently had problems with some of my content being republished (here at ReelSEO and R2 relations) without any request for permission, links back to the site or editing of the content. As far as I’m concerned that constitutes plagiarism as they are taking credit for the content, copyright infringement as they are republishing without a license to do so and just downright theft. So where is the line when it comes to online content and more specifically, online video?

The SEC Hopes To Block Twitter & YouTube Usage
The NCAA’s Southeastern Conference is taking a bit of a stand against YouTube, blogs, Twitter, and other so-called “new media” that fans and journalists enjoy using to share news, photos, videos, and opinions.Having just signed a $3 Billion deal with ESPN and CBS, the SEC has decided that they need to crack down on unauthorized Twittering and YouTubing from the stands at college football games.
Rounding The Social Media Learning Curve With YouTube
In my consulting experience I often encounter business owners who struggle mightily to get up to speed on this Social Media revolution that seems to be happening right at their feet while they are focused on keeping all their balls in the air above them. Their need to successfully incorporate this “new world” into their business model is overshadowed only by the desire to speed the learning curve and avoid making mistakes which could otherwise be averted.
Video and Social Marketing Reach a Groundswell
One of the highlights of the day-long track on Social Media & Video Strategies held in conjunction with Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose, was a presentation by industry leader Nate Elliott, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research on the Groundswell, a book based on analysis by Forrester Research on how they look at social marketing. All too often marketers launch a Facebook, Twitter or YouTube account without a social media strategy which according to Forrester is a backwards approach.
The Air Force Is Reading Your Tweets, Watching Your YouTube Rants
A new story from the AP today reveals how the U.S. Air Force used social media sites like Twitter and YouTube to track the fallout from the whole “Air Force One Flyover PR Disaster.”
You may remember that the Obama Administration decided to have the President’s plane do a flyover of New York City—you know, the city where giant airliners crashed into buildings a few years back and put everyone there forever on edge?—all for a photo op. They also had Air Force One trailed by a couple F-16s. Oh, and they decided not to give anyone any kind of advance warning of the event.

Video vs Social Media, OR Why I Don’t Trust The Pew Study
You know, if I’m not careful, I’m going to rapidly turn into The Blogger Who Only Talks About Nalts. Of course, if he’d stop writing so many insightful articles related to the online video space, then maybe I’d be forced to go out and find something else to talk about. Until then… you should definitely throw Nalts’ RSS feed in your preferred reader.
A recent article, “Why Online Video Will ALWAYS Trump Social Media”, discusses a new study from Pew that says more people watch online video than use social media (62% compared to 46%).

The Blurring Line Between Worlds: Humans, Screen Watching, and Social Media
It seems the deeper you look into Social Media, the more it resonates as the natural evolution of the Internet’s ability to facilitate effective communication and to mimic our everyday lives. While scores of people would still consider themselves neophytes in the online space, many of us have settled into a routine with our Internet experience and no longer see it as something new, pretty, and shiny. It has gone from a novelty all the way to a mainlined utility, like the coffee maker or microwave oven.
