#Tigger’s Hour? Or “On The Consequences of #Convos” (The Good Ones, at least!) Re: #NewSpotters

So I’ve tasked myself, again, with nibbling at the meaning of what’s going on around here… this time, serendipitously, across time zones – and at somewhat odd times, considering that the Skype app was running at the Hour of the Tiger, and well, the simple fact that the call DID come through, unhindered!…

[LOOOONG SIGH... INHALES...]

“… Age of Miracle of Wonders, it is a Long Distance* Call…”as Simon would put it!

[SATISFIED GRIN]

Anyway, here’s what the newfound focus may end up being about? another ‘seminal’ and oft-referred to piece?

[5:25:29 AM]: But is this explosion of prose good, on a technical level? Yes. Lunsford’s team found that the students were remarkably adept at what rhetoricians call kairos—assessing their audience and adapting their tone and technique to best get their point across. The modern world of online writing, particularly in chat and on discussion threads, is conversational and public, which makes it closer to the Greek tradition of argument than the asynchronous letter and essay writing of 50 years ago.

[5:25:45 AM]: The brevity of texting and status updating teaches young people to deploy haiku-like concision. At the same time, the proliferation of new forms of online pop-cultural exegesis—from sprawling TV-show recaps to 15,000-word videogame walkthroughs—has given them a chance to write enormously long and complex pieces of prose, often while working collaboratively with others.

Yeah, that’s me ‘quoting’ the Clive Wilson piece from 2009 on #NewLiteracy

http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/17-09/st_thompson

Anyway, this is just a sketch/outline/bullet’ing of what I’m supposed to post in a few days; unfortunately, GTG, long day starts… I mean, started a couple of hours ago!…

P.S: * Long Distance Calls now being redefined as VoIP Centered ones, all through apps on devices, nothing to do with Analog Transliterations of our Actual Voices, BUT with simply digitized encodings!… and all at the Speed of Light, lest we forget the real ‘clock’ The Packet Cloud runs at, routers & firewalls notwithstanding!

Waiting Room Productivity – not so, no #JobsMonday via @LinkedIN App

20 Feb

Hola. Happy Mardi Gras, hope y’all safely reveled this weekend; come Wednesday, though, a reminder about forty days of observation – and other things the Spring Equinox shall promptly bring us…

Anyway, I had hoped to share some of the usual #JobsMonday’s on #SocialMedia via @LinkedIN App; apparently one of their most useful feats, not yet available and relegated to “Desktop Dino” (whom actually happens to be a Laptop, perennially tethered as a broken screen’s RMA dampens it’s mobility!)…

… Which either makes the case for keeping some of them around, as how else do we have access to some features?

So anyway, let’s talk about the weather, shall we?

Yesterday’s utterances about Jeb made me wonder about the potential for a “Six Flags over Tampa” kind of Convention; and sorry to say, @MeetThePress’ RoundTable conveyed an uneasiness, that well, may make for great TV Ad Sales, a protracted nomination and yes, a happy #Incumbent; just picked up an old copy of @Newsweek, and well, history is already being made, in nearby #3rdMetro…

[WRY CHUCKLE]

Yeah, there are so many kinds of “weather”, no?

Meteorology-wise?

Screenshots don’t look like anything but Late October, Early November at this time; tornadoes may make April a worrisome time, but at this point, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there, right?

Saludos! Castilian Digest, soon to follow, BFN/TTYL!

10 things you still need to know about social media / social business.

9 Feb

Reblogged from The BrandBuilder Blog:

Since I am bouncing around Europe this week, (come say hi at #tsc12 if you can), now is a good time to republish this list from a few months ago. It is still as relevant today as it was then:

1. “Social” is something you are, not something you do. If your company culture doesn’t focus on building relationships with your customers, then chances are that you won’t use social media to do it either.

Francisco J. Palacio, Jr (a.k.a. Pancho Pepe)

Hi Reader/Searcher/Fellow Networker & Blogger

If you’re here, reading this, it’s either because we know each other, for a while, and you’re wondering about my whereabouts, so yeah, things could not be better, all things considered!… however, if you’re here ‘cuz a search engine found us, ‘cuz a tweet we liked and favorited, or because @LinkedIN fed me a “Job Posting” that in turn got to you ‘peek’ at the blog, well, read on! (or again, as you may have read the whole profile there… which is what I’m ‘#Reblogging’ here!)

So I’ll start at the beginning: I’m NOT a ‘millenial’ freshly minted out of a renowned college; what I actually am is, Demographics-wise, a “tail-end #Boomer”, a Venezuelan-American Inmigrant to the U.S, freshly-minted as a U.S. Citizen, whose life and travails are centered on all things technology, so no, if you’re actually looking for a younger mind to train, skip to the next profile/blog/search - and thanks for reading!

Yes, I have been around, know a few languages, some of them NOT spoken by machines but by people; fully bilingual in Spanish & English, conversant in German, and fluent in most every other app out there, yes.

Sorry, I don’t write nor develop code/scripts but I can manage/tweak well what others have written; so yes I can help you manage integrations and find workable workarounds in your I.T. Systems… and finally, YES, I’m looking for those in the business who consider Social Media/Networks as such: “Integrated I.T. Processes/Systems” – In Real Time & Mission-Critical to most!

Next steps? we surely can figure our whether or not I am the right guy for you; at that, continue here, check out the “#DemoReel (f.k.a. Blog); or follow @FJPalacio on Twitter? (and howzabout those @LinkedIN Recommendations? Good ones from Good Peoples, too!)

Take a peek, here, there and anywhere ~ hope to hear from some of you soon!…

Cheers!

P.S: And if anyone besides Corporate HR is here reading, perhaps:

a) I can play Mercenary for a while, help you out with a few battles, let you win the war and get a referral as a reward, too? or

b) Long Term Goal? Setup a Foundation/Network to ameliorate the gaps in the Usage of The Technologies, as some would put it… Maybe you and your partners can envision the profit potential across Demographics? Regions and Countries, too?… it’s ONE cloud, after all, no?

c-ya!
