Henry Fawell Steve Case makes his case on the Time Warner/AOL split

By Henry Fawell Time Warner announced this morning that it would part ways with AOL, officially ending a marriage that was hailed in 2000 as a merger for the ages between giants of "old" and "new" media. Of note is how Steve Case, former AOL chairman and architect of the merger, chose to make his views known about the break-up. Case didn't call a friendly reporter (as far as I can tell) or pen an op-ed. Instead, he used Twitter to articulate why he believes the merger failed. Here are some hi… Continue

Henry Fawell Swine flu highlights perils and promise of social media

By Henry Fawell This column was originally published in The Daily Record on Friday, May 8, 2009 The H1N1 virus – also known as “swine flu” – isn’t going away just yet, but there a few early lessons we can glean from this case about how to communicate effectively in a public crisis.

Melissa MacAlister "Be careful where you meet people..."

As a college senior who will be graduating in May, I now find myself spending a great deal of time online hoping to meet people, to expand my professional network . With the recent explosion of social media,… Continue

Jason Kintzler Outlaw 2.0 - The Twitter Suspend Owl

Time was, being branded as an outlaw was a desirable thing. True American icons like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson made a living from the label. In today's social media culture, participants are quick to jump on the unethical or non-authentic users who label themselves "experts", "gurus" or those who just plain "don't get it". Aside from those cheese balls, there are real wranglers threatening to populate the space with useless tweets. They are spammers, modern d… Continue

Although rumors were fluttering around weeks earlier, when micro-blogging phenom Twitter finally announced its acquisition of the Summize search service on Tuesday morning, it didn't issue a press release.

No standard PR practices here. Just a bunch of Tweets and a blog post. Did we just witness the future fo… Continue

Jason Kintzler Social Media TV - Tonight at 10

Here are some very doable suggestions: User Video and Photo Submissions Social media allows for access to more content then we've ever had. Much of that content is video. Ask any t.v.… Continue
