Red Shoes Speaks No. 69 Dumping our Website

Tommy & Sara talk about a newspaper in Maryland that moved all their web presence form their corporate website to Facebook. A bold move dumping their website but if you think about it, it maybe a smart move! They are taking their stories and content to where their readers are instead of making their readers leave Facebook to go get the content.

TommyLog – The Impact You Make!

I received an email from a long lost college roommate of mine from BYU, Kevin Shelley. – Love Kevin. He told me of the death of a mutual friend from our sophomore year at BYU. The thing that touched me so much was that Kevin got to chat with her just days before she passed. She told Kevin that I was the first person she met at BYU and the positive impact I had on her live…even after 16 years. WOW!
Makes you think that impact and mark will you make? Do you do stuff just for today or do you plan for the future?

Red Shoes Speaks No. 68 Social Media Slip-ups

Tom and Sara discuss recent stories of PR agencies getting fired after negative tweets went out. A member of the Chrysler team inadvertently posted a highly controversial tweet from the corporate account instead of his private account. The Redner Group intentionally posted a negative tweet on behalf of their client 2K, causing the agency to be let go from the gaming corporation. Lesson learned: quadruple-check your tweets, especially if your job depends on it!

Red Shoes Speaks No. 67 News Aggregators for the Apple iPad

Lisa and Tommy talk about their picks for best news aggregators for their Apple iPads. Lisa likes Fluent News and the Daily and Tommy prefers flipboard. One beef they both find with the crop of newsreaders is the fact it takes time to download content and they are not very friendly in situations where you don’t have wifi or 3G access…like airline travel. There needs to be a way you can pre-download content for offline reading.
