Some changes are coming to the Great Presentations Mean Business blog… First, if you are subscribed on the RSS feed and haven’t seen updates in a month or so, please click here to resubscribe via FeedBurner.
Sorry for the trouble, but when we moved off wordpress.com, we realized most of you were subscribed via the wordpress.com feed, instead of the FeedBurner one. (Which is http://feeds.feedburner.com/pistachioconsulting, for your convenience, if the link above does not work.)
The name of the blog is going to change (SEND US YOUR IDEAS!), because the focus of the blog is expanding. My brain these days is wrapped up in a broadened definition of communications. Some call it web 2.0 or social media, to me it’s just the web as it evolves and where we can all go with it. Look for more about social media in the enterprise, communicating across many platforms, collaborating effectively and of course lots about presenting effectively. The unifying theme remains: achieve more by presenting your ideas effectively. The difference is: presenting, collaborating and sharing ideas via many different media. And yeah, I’m gonna blog about Twitter. Probably a lot. For VERY good reasons.
I’m very excited about these changes, which have been a long time coming. The shifting focus is a big part of the reason for my slowdown in blogging. The other big reason is, if you do not already follow me on Twitter, that I have jumped into microblogging (heh, coming pretty close to Lifecasting, as some have said) with both feet. That influence is also going to make this blog a lot more personal.
Hope you will also check out the new “lab” at http://www.Brainsieve.com. Speaking of things in transition, that is going to be an exciting place as it evolves into my vision of a highly collaborative “best of” filtering tool to excerpt and surface only the most interesting of the streams of the digital media I produce. At the moment, it looks an awful lot like a blog. But if you spend some time playing there, and have suggestions for me on how to get to the vision, please rock my world by telling me!
Post-move, we’re still adding widgets and working out technical details, so please excuse our appearance in the process.
One last thing. With 1064 & growing followers on Twitter, my “following-back” has fallen COMPLETELY off the wagon. Won’t you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE engage me in conversation using @ replies anytime, even if I don’t currently follow you back? There are 311 UNREAD Twitter follow messages in my gmail plus many more read, but not looked at yet. Every voice matters to me, I just haven’t figured out how to listen effectively yet. Even if I follow you, PLEASE “@” me when you want to engage.
That’s all for now folks. Happy Solstice, and may the increasing light outdoors from here on, increase all manner of light in your life.
With love, Pistachio.
