Public Media Conference: Adding the Social to Media

Andy Carvin and Brendan Greeley are giving a broad, deep, speedy demonstration of the power of social media and the tools that are available – from blogs, to RSS to tags. This is one of those sessions that everyone in public media should watch. The room is full, and there are a fair number of listeners on streams, but we need to be more proactive about making conference audio and video available. PRPD and IMA are doing good work by allowing those files to live permanently, free, online, but all of us need to go back to our stations and do some evangelizing to everyone who got left behind about this content, and encourage them to spend time getting into it. We also need to share it with our listeners – another chance for us to welcome the people formerly known as the audience into our world.

Carvin and Greeley need to do a roadshow to stations.
