Show notes

This is the first of two podcasts recorded on April 20, during the highly nerdy "Five Years of Being Amber Rhea" party at Manuel's Tavern. Sherry started asking me questions about my blog, and I broke out the recorder. We talk about how and why I started my blog, and then move on to talking about blogging in general, and how a lot of pre-conceived notions are being challenged - especially in the business world - thanks to social media.

Podcast interview with Sherry Heyl, organizer of SoCon07

Posted January 31, 2007 - 3:01pm by Amber Rhea

SoCon07 SoCon07 is coming up in less than two weeks! There's now a podcast available of an interview with organizer Sherry Heyl; be sure to give it a listen! In it, Sherry mentions (among other things) how business use of social media is going to be good for both businesses and consumers. Registration for SoCon07 is currently closed, but be on the lookout in the few days before the event - they might open it back up if some people cancel ahead of time.

Coming in February: Atlanta social media conference

Posted November 25, 2006 - 6:04pm by Amber Rhea

Last weekend, I mentioned the as-yet-unnamed social media conference being organized by Sherry Heyl, the Atlanta Media Bloggers, and a bunch of us local new media riff-raff. The conference is still seeking a name, so as before, share your ideas; but I now have more information about the conference.

The Basics

  • What: A conference with the goal of showing how the various components of social media are interrelated and how they affect our lives. The bulk of trusted information is no longer coming from journalists and advertising, but from consumer-generated content and ongoing online conversations.
  • When: February 10, 2007
  • Where: Kennesaw State University
  • How much: Free!

Speakers

Sponsors

Mark your calendars for February 10th!

Post about corporate podcasting at What a Concept!

Posted September 22, 2006 - 2:40pm by Amber Rhea

The first of what I intend to be a series of blog posts about the business value of podcasting is now up at the What a Concept! blog. An excerpt:

Podcasting can bring more of a human voice to business. Hearing people's voices, especially when those people are not just reading from a script, makes your organization seems more real. It's a reminder that there are actual people behind the business. This serves to further the humanity of the business by allowing customers to feel less like "just a demographic."

Check it out... and stay tuned for more. Thanks to Sherry for giving me the opportunity to write these for her site.
