Social media, its everywhere. Its a catchphrase. It has caused thousands of “experts” to come out of the woodwork to pimp their real or imagined talents. It has created a virtual stream of short form tidbits that bounce back and forth across Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, and Posterous. (Transparency: It also pays my bills)
As the real time web becomes more and more that arena of the immediate and the short form there is a bit of discordance introduced. You can dip into the stream at any time but there is simply no way to absorb all of the content, nor would you wish to.
This is where the (now) old fashioned blog comes to the fore. Ideas need space in which to be presented, and despite my twitter addicted state 140 characters is not enough time to relay complex concepts. All of the aforementioned services are very important, but it is the good old blog that takes the prize for sharing info.
With that perspective in mind I would like to point out a colleague’s new blog: KathrynJennex.com. Kathryn is a real sweetheart, always ready to lend a helping hand if possible and cheerfully at that. Many of you might know her as the assistant to Social Media leader Chris Brogan, while others might know her through Moovy.ca “an online interactive and collaborative community space for emerging and professional filmmakers.” Some may have run across her as NorthernChick on Twitter. She is a gem.
One thing I found particularly pleasing is the fact that her fist post centers on one of my main interests: food. Go check out her first post and offer some encouragement!
