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.

Inside Intel’s Extreme Laptop Testing Lab

This is a video I got to shoot inside the Intel benchmarking lab in Santa Clara, CA just prior to the release of the first Extreme Edition processor for laptops. Gamers delight! Mobility without sacrificing gaming performance.

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!

You Stream, I Stream, We All Stream with Ustream.tv

PodTech’s Eddie Codel gets the scoop from the buzzworthy Ustream guru. JustinTV and Jeremiah Owyang are probably the two biggest champions of Ustream. I’m hoping we can do something with them at the upcoming Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this September.

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’!!

HP on Replacing 7000+ desktops in 2 months

The HP Bladesystem podcast here is a good example of showing how companies work to get new, better technology proliferated. This is interesting to tech industry folks, investors and provides insight to any company deciding if it’s time for a technology upgrade.

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.

Intel Research Day: Future of Money Slideshow

Intel researcher Scott Manwairing is always worth a listen. He’s a great storyteller and you get it here in this audio interview with photo slideshow from Research@Intel Day (June 2007). Adding a flipping photo show to an audio interview takes time and an editor’s eye/ear, but it really enriches the story.

Here are links to some videos I shot at Research@Intel Day.  I’m still working on getting the embed code to work.
