This coming Wednesday, January 27, 2010, I will be giving a free workshop as part of the Northern Kentucky One Stop‘s Career Achievement Network (CAN) monthly series. The title of the session is “Activate Your Super Powers: The Social Media Utility Belt”. Sign up here.
Some basic themes we’ll probably cover: (more…)
Part 1 of… several, maybe.
So, if you’ve read this blog via danieljohnsonjr.com or have noticed these articles posted elsewhere, you know I spend a lot of time on Twitter. I thought I’d drop in here directly to share how I’ve been using Twitter on this blog.
I use a WordPress plug-in called Twitter Tools to create a daily digest of “Things I’ve Said“. I often find it more efficient to post to Twitter, even though I share things that could very well be compiled in a blog post. It does, after all, take some time to craft a blog post – at least from my point of view.
I signed up for Twitter back in August 2006, and I wish I could go back to some of those earlier posts. Unfortunately, Twitter only keeps the most recent posts online, so these posts, unless archived elsewhere, are gone forever. I cannot go back to August 2006 and read some of those earlier posts.
I use Twitter to share about projects I’m working on not only in my paid work as a developer and business intelligence professional, but also as a new media professional in Cincinnati, Dayton, and elsewhere. You might say I’m building and contributing to my personal brand through Twitter.
I like using Twitter Tools to archive my posts here on danieljohnsonjr.com, therefore, because this blog serves as an archive and vehicle to showcase what I’m doing. Interesting, isn’t it, that this question is what Twitter asks? I guess I still like to answer that question.
I could go further, and perhaps I will in the future, about how else I’m using social media tools.
What do you think? What ways are you using social media tools to complement and showcase your activities? Please leave your thoughts in the comments below at http://danieljohnsonjr.com to continue the conversation.

On my way into work this morning, I heard a podcasted interview David Bowman from LUCRUM had with Pat Crowley from the Enquirer. They talked about some of the ways an “old media” organization like the Enquirer is adapting to changes in how people are getting their news.
Pat talked about why the Enquirer changed their comment system recently for their online pages, and it made more sense than it did when I’d first heard about it. I’ll try to explain it in my own words, based on what I heard.
Like it or not, the Enquirer is known as a reputable news source in our community. We expect them to provide accurate content. That is how it views its brand.
An anonymous source dropping off photos in a brown envelope is akin in the digital world to an anonymous commenter on a blog post or story. There is no way to check out the source to see if the tip or statements made in a comment are true.
Making sure that commenters are registered users helps the Enquirer to better source their stories, according to Crowley.
That’s how I understand it. What do you think? Do you agree with them, or do you see this as The Enquirer’s way of controlling the conversation?

Here is the presentation I gave at Podcamp Ohio, entitled “Managing Multiple Online Identities“, and the folks from Coefficient Media recorded the audio and have posted it to the Podcamp Ohio Podcast.
UPDATE: I found a link to the video for this presentation at Viddler: Daniel Johnson, Jr. at Podcamp Ohio 2008
Thank you to everyone who attended the session! I feel like I learned at least as much from you as you may have learned from me.
The presentation has been getting some buzz from others in the blogosphere:
Some folks mentioned the presentation on Twitter:
I also set up an RSS feed for the PodCampOhio Social Media Firehose, in case you want to track all the social media conversation related to PodCamp Ohio.
Also, if I’ve missed your link and you’d like me to include it, please leave it in the comments. Thanks again!
