Jeremiah Owyang discusses how web tools and social media enable companies to connect with customers

Changing my Media and Communication Mix

Over the next few days, I’m going to be changing my Media intake, I’ve erased many of my feeds on my Google Reader feedreader and am starting over from scratch.  My Ipod has been replaced, so I’m re-selecting podcasts and video blogs.  Also, I’ve cut out Instant Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo, Gizmo, Skype, and Mobile Yahoo IM. (It’s nothing personal). I’m not sure if I’ll return to IM, we’ll see.  Those that know my cell can call anytime!

I’m not quite fully online at Podtech yet, so there is some slowness in my online response.  It’s kind of fun to start from scratch!

So if I’ve been unresponsive, please don’t get it personally, I’m still adjusting. (And trying to digest those red pills)

    IM is good for collaboration at work or quick ping.

  6. […] The people here are all fast movers, self starters, it’s really a talent shop, I’m working hard to catch up with this crew.PodTech is hitting a milestone this week, we’ve moved to a new office on Page Mill, (everyone gets their own desk) a much larger office than the incubator startup at Sand Hill road. (about the size of two garage stalls) Keep running This last few days has been so busy, as I’ve changed my communication mix, ran a roundtable excercise, attended and supported an event held by my previous CEO, moved to a new office, and today, I’ll be meeting my first client that I’ve brought in. We’ve some big news to share soon, stay tuned. Feedback Encouraged While Scoble was public about his feedback of Podtech, primarily due to his style of doing that at Microsoft, I tend to take different approaches depending on the situation. Internally at Podtech, I’ve been keeping my notes on a basecamp whiteboard (like a wiki) of many of my thoughts and observations of the great things at Podtech and suggestions. […]
