Social Networking Phenomenon

I mentioned at the end of September that I would be participating in a town hall forum on social media for KMSQ TV, the PBS affiliate in Austin, Minnesota. I promised I’d post video of the forum discussion when it became available. It’s become available. I had a great time and was fortunate to participate with [...]

I noticed a few days ago MSNBC promoting that the videos on their site were now embeddable–they claim to be the first news network to make the move. Here’s a segment on the Millennials’ role in this election cycle: MSNBC uses the IFRAME tag (which, [...]

My New Employer

My New Crib
