Thanks to Mary for making me crack up at this flipchart-based comedy skit by Demetri Martin, a young New York comic that also appears on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Hope it makes your Friday a little funnier. On a similar theme, you might also be interested in Jessica Hagy's Indexed - a blog that makes clever use of index cards.

I’ve been noodling around with a PowerPoint-slash-video approach to explaining the value of Enterprise Web 2.0 (or whatever you want to call social media behind the firewall) ever since I read an article that rejected its usefulness. The presentation has been evolving over the last couple months, and I finally decided to just finish it rather than continue trying to tweak and refine it. It is long—nearly 25 minutes, too long for YouTube—so be warned. ...Shared by Antoine van Dinter (14) Brad Garland (13) Dave Fleet (10) Jane Rowe (4) MMartin (12) RichardatDELL (21) Sallie Goetsch (14) Simon Young (33)Contribute comment - North American New Media Academic Summit (1)

If you’ve got a blog that you take seriously, you’re probably a stats junkie. Checking your Technorati Ranking, Google Analytics, Feedburner subscribers, etc. to see if you’re connecting with readers and building an audience can be a bit of an obsession. When you’re authoring your own blog, it’s a labour of love and for most of us more of a hobby than anything else, so we’re happy to invest the time pouring over our stats. ...Shared by Brent the Closet Geek (31) Bryan Person (24) Dave Fleet (10) David Mullen (5) Jane Rowe (4) LauraLee (214) MAlbano (8) Paull (9) thornley (31)Contribute comment -

Selling management on the value of investing time and resources into building an online community using social media is a challenge, and you need all of the support you can get.

YouTube Adds Closed Captioning (42)

YouTube has turned on the ability to add full closed captions to videos. This will not only allow videos to appeal more directly to foreign audiences, but will give YouTube excellent data for searching videos and targeting ads to them. After all, a complete set of subtitles is the same as a transcript of the video. And you can upload subtitles for as many languages as you want. It’s excellent data.

A case study in blogger outreach gone horribly wrong. (2)

The Social Path (0) permalink
Blogger outreach is a pretty common marketing trick these days. At its laziest, it’s just a bad e-mail pitch begging for coverage from a popular blogger. But the committed marketer knows to go straight for the easy win: free stuff. Over on the J-Walk Blog, John Walkenbach seemed plenty happy to have received a free bottle of a liquor called VeeV — “the world's first Acai spirit.” Before even trying it, John wrote about the ...Shared by Brent the Closet Geek (31) Dave Fleet (10)Contribute comment -
'Mad Men' flap shows why execs should listen to marketing folks before lawyering up. (2)
onWhen you have lawyers on retainer, it’s hard not to take their word as gospel. For decades, attorneys have been the ultimate weapons in the black-and-white world of corporate America. These days, corporate lawyers — while in some ways more valuable than ever — can also do more harm than good. Try to squash one pest with a bigfoot tactic like a “cease and desist” order, and you’re bound to stir up a hornet’s nest ...Shared by Brian (4) Dave Fleet (10)Contribute comment

What will languish in the Trough of Disillusionment, and what will emerge onto the Slope of Enlightenment? Gartner’s own summary is this: ...Contribute comment -
