The New Face of Media-thinking.
TEDxDubai did many things and one of the most important things was give the UAE permission to push its media bar in a totally different direction. Leo Laporte made a wonderful daring presentation to TEDxDubai. The media is changing but are we ready? Do we believe the media environment is really changing? Call our media [...]
Designing a Convergent Media Space
If you could dream big and design the ultimate learning/lab space to transform the way we think and do communication today what would it look like? The problem, and there is a problem, is that the space needs to function as a classroom, lecture hall, studio, think tank, recording facility, technology incubator, and new convergent [...]
Can a professor be a social media expert?
www.gapingvoid.com for the image! Social media is an important part of our education, communication, political and economic environments today. I have seen the writing on the wall for a bit over 2 years and the writing is in neon paint! The problem we are confronted with is academia really has not been listening, walking around [...]
How I manage my social media
The greatest problem I face is how to manage all the social media I use and I don’t use that much! But if you have a couple of Twitter accounts, a Facebook page and maybe a Linkdin account how do you post and follow them all in an easy efficient way? I think most people [...]

Content is king!
Last night on Nightline I had a great conversation about content syndication! I am not talking RSS but how you can get content that is market ready into the market! Imagine that academic paper that can be reformatted and become a valuable business piece. How does this effect you? Are you a person who writes? [...]
Bring on the mobile media!
I have been doing some experimentation with mobile media and breaking my own rules! The main rule I live by with mobile media is keep it short!

The what have you published mentality
Today I was talking to a group of academics about convergent media. What I learned, to my surprise, is that even though I practice convergent media, see my nightline site, this does not count because I have not invested the painful time to write about it for some redundant academic journal. I have even taught [...]
