Pluck Adds Social Media & Feeds to Corporate Website

This can be a way to bring to the corporate pressroom feeds of blogs and media you follow. Adding widgets to corporate Web sites can help bring your site to life, and you can alter the content to meet calendar events or company happenings. By having a feed like this in a pressroom, it shows what and who is of interest to the company and it can be a forcing function that gets company storytellers or experts to chime in whenever they see incorrect information pop up on a feed.

Research@Intel Day: Tera-scale

This story was an experiment in itself. Master storyteller Jason Lopez steps into Ken Burns-style using his tiny digital still camera with video capabilities. The style is not new, but the combination of great writing that describes the photos and videos, and the interesting research projects….it all works! It pulls you in. It makes allows you to slow down and absorb what the Intel researchers are talking about. And the photos and video burn meaning into your brain, helping you understand what challenges these silicon researchers are surmounting. I just love the impact of this storytelling style!

On the day Yahoo! announced earnings that were not well received, this is a timely and cool interview timed to a very cool event happening this week in P-Town (Portland), where my pals Jeremiah Owyang from PodTech and Intel buddies Bryan Rhoads and Josh Bancroft will be. Hope they’re enjoyin’!!

Demo of sharing service AllPeers

Sharing is at the core of social media, an essential part of any strategy or any tool/application. Not only for consumers — AllPeers’ target — but also for any communication. Give and be prepared to keep giving, especially if your followers’ interest deepens over time. Here’s Robert Scoble getting a demo with AllPeers’ CTO Matthew Gertner.

Brian Solis — Social Media is Transforming Marketing and Public Relations

PodTech’s Jennifer Jones talks with Brian Solis, who I got to finally meet in in June at the Social Media Workshop hosted by Shel Israel.  He’s someone we can all learn a lot from.

Brian dinged Intel’s Second Life briefing, referring to a blogger who wrote a post tearing into the Second Life event as an example of terrible PR. At the time, Brian was right and timely. A few days later, I learned that the Intel Software Network team reached out to the blogger and now things are cool. In fact, there was a healthy exchange that resulted in new friendships. Maybe in the old days, a bad review would resulted in some frustration and a little bad reputation. But today, we have the tools to connect and face our challenges directly, resulting in more changes to make improvements and better friends.

iPhone Phenom in Palo Alto — Jeremiah’s Video Walk & Talk

I hear the Doors’ Jim Morrison singing:  Ride the snake…  This is one doozy of a handycam take on the crazy line of people waiting to get their hands on the latest rock start — the Apple iPhone.  Here’s Jeremiah Owyang’s MOS — was there an end to that line?

Intel CentrinoPro for the Proest of IT Pros

Pulling together this story we got to meet a lot of interesting pros working in the IT industry. Guys like Josh Hilliker, Big Dave and others inside Intel seem pretty fired up about new tools for IT pros. They say the aim is “zero touch” but there are many steps to take with the help from companies using new manageability technology and IT pros worldwide who will test drive new capabilities and help Intel build new needs into next generations of vPro Processor Technology for business servers, desktops and now laptops (built with Intel Centrino Pro).

Josh also talked to us about how IT pros are using social media just like others — watch for short video clip of Josh talking on this topic.  In fact, this may be one of the real pioneering communities out there using Wikis, blogs and collaborative online tools.  I’m going to try and tap in and learn more about the IT community starting from the people featured in this video.
