VSLive. . .
Was a good way to spend a day. I had the opportunity to, once again, listen to
Don Box give a talk that was both entertaining and educational at the same time.
However, I wish everyone giving presentations would remember the old Speech 101
mantra: Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, tell 'em, and tell 'em what you
told 'em.
Way too many presentations forget that the listener would love to have some
context in which to understand the information being presented.
I know there are situations, can you say "MacWorld", where surprise is a key
element but in almost every other case, I would love a map of the territory
before I examine the pieces of gravel along the road.
Ok, Podcasting
has finally arrived. . .at Starbucks!
This morning I went to my local caffine-o-torium to purchase my daily dose and
what do I see, right there, above the fold on the USA Today but. . . Podcasting!
One thing was interesting, however, was that they used the 3,300 podcast count
available over at www.ipodderX.com which
neither I, nor quite a few others, have been able to corroborate.
www.podcastalley.com still has us
under 1000.
Podcast of the
Day:
Dawn and Drew
Why: They made the front cover of USA today! Plus it's well produced and fun to
listen to (although most of the time not work safe!)
Manic Minute Recommendation: Party On!
