Grandparents of the Revolution — Laptops and Intel Chips from ’80s & ’90s

It’s not the Intel Museum, but the remodeled 4th Floor of Intel headquarters where we found the sun beaming down…on this blast from the past.

Chances are, you had or used one of these in your life.  Well, if you were alive in the previous millennium.

Imagine what the next 20 years will bring!

Rocketboom Deck Check

Creative Kenyatta Cheese and super talent Ellie Rountree took me and my Intel pal Kiesha westside overlooking the Hudson from Rocketboom’s new studios 15 floors high in the New York sky.

Ellie and Kenyatta gave us a spirited tour behind the scenes of Rocketboom, Know Your Meme and Rocketboom Tech.

Later, online video mastermind Andrew Baron joined us. He and Ellie cooked up an idea with me and my Intel team back in 2008 to create a innovation segment that became known as Rocketboom Tech, sponsored by Intel since early 2009.  Here’s the some of the side stories from the show on the Rocketboom Tech Tumblr blog.

The show focuses on consumer tech innovations and innovative people using technology in amazing ways.

Facebook News Feed Insights from Intel Fan Page Manager

This a great interview with one of Intel’s social media center of excellence stars, Ekaterina Walter. We we inherited the Intel Fan page created by real fans and grew it whimsically, Ekaterina put research time, smarts and her personality into helping the Fan Page grow by what I believe is 100 times since she grabbed the reins.

Ekaterina: Nowadays it’s all about news feed optimization.  It’s almost becoming the equivalent of SEO for Facebook.
For those folks who are not really familiar, news feeds display the most popular stories on Facebook. According to Facebook, 0.02% of stories actually make it to the news feed, which is rather scary if you look at it as a marketer.
They told us they want to stay on top of technical news.  They want to be the first to know about Intel products that are coming out and what we were up to in general.
They also liked the fact that they can chat with their fellow geeks and ask them for all kinds of advice about how build their own system.
Because of the news feed algorithm and the engagement they call fan growth, the higher the engagement with you (which are likes, comments, etc.), the more likely it is that your page will be picked up by the Facebook algorithm and make it into the news feed.
