Back at it #2 – Socially “Authentic”

Working my way backwards through this article (http://tinyurl.com/ab3ug3), I want to address the comments in the second and third last paragraphs.  In many ways, this has to be a top 3 topic with social media and probably one of the toughest for marketers to get – how to “engage with social media in an authentic way”

Back at it – WTF?

If we’re going to have a blog based site, I better do a half decent job of blogging.  Lots of excuses but I can do better – all it took was a couple of comments from fans and following Mashable on Twitter to fire me up again.  So this won’t be a blog machine because I do have a real job, but hopefully we can get back to adding to the discussion about media in a valuable way.  I want to warm up by responding to this article I saw through Mashable this week - http://tinyurl.com/ab3ug3

I can’t believe we haven’t had a Quebec related WTF? post prior to this but I’m sure this one will start a streak.  Think about this:  would you push your child to smoke cigarettes so they don’t get into anything harder?  They might in Quebec

New Media Myth #1 - PVRs Are Killing TV Ads

Not long ago I was talking to a friend who has a client that wished they could move all their TV money into online.  Their main reasoning was that no one sees commercials because everyone has a PVR.  Moving all his TV dollars to online to TV would just be stupid, but the point I want to deal with here is that PVRs are not yet a big threat to TV as an effective advertising medium
