Someone on Monsanto is getting on the Cluetrain. I reported about Monsanto’s “Conversations . . . ” a while ago. Now they’re podcasting them.
Are You On The Cluetrain?
It’s the end of a long two weeks of on the road agriblogging. Thanks for hanging around for all the fun from the Cattle Industry Convention and the National Biodiesel Conference. Whether you like my coverage of these events or not I think you have to admire the fact that the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and the National Biodiesel Board have moved way ahead of the pack when it comes to openly and personally communicating with the public and the people who are paying the bills. They just plain “get it.” I’m not even sure if they’re aware of the Cluetrain or not but they’re on it.
Blogging With Emily Richards
It’s “meet the stars” week here in San Diego. I wasn’t real familiar with Emily Richards until today. But I’m a fan. Tonight we get to see a live show. Emily is a singer/songwriter that vocally supports biodiesel. If you want to see what she looks like on a motorcycle you’ll have to visit the Biodiesel Conference Blog.
EPA Administrator Promotes Biodiesel
I don’t think I’ve ever posted as much multi-media content as I have from this National Biodiesel Conference. I know it’s making my posting light here on AgWired but that will change after I’m back Friday. I thought you might enjoy some of it here though.
The Luke Perry Press Conference
I know posting has been a little light here today but you can visit the Biodiesel Conference Blog if you want to see what I’ve been up to. For example, my buddy Luke Perry here did a press conference just a little while ago to publicly support this renewable fuel effort. Daryl Hannah jumped into the press conference a little late but you can hear her too.
Daryl Hannah On Biodiesel
Here’s a ZimmCast that’s a little different. The first star to support biodiesel is Daryl Hannah.
Podcasting 7 Deadly Sins
Let’s take a break for a moment from the Cattle Industry Convention and talk about podcasting. Since I know many of our readers are considering this great new way to communicate there are certainly some considerations. A nice little list of “The 7 Deadly Sins of Commercial Podcasting” can be found on Media Savvy 2.0. They’re really focusing on people who want to commercialize their podcast efforts but I think that a lot of what they say applies to any company that is considering it. They refer to podcasting as “nanocasting.” Here’s just one of the list:
Beef Lover Sweepstakes Contests
The Missouri Beef Industry Council’s weekly MBIC Report this week is with Marketing Director Dawn Thurnau who talks about sweepstakes contests for beef lovers that are being promoted in national magazines in addition to regular beef advertising.
Maximize Your Multimedia ROI
A big announcement was made today and I think agricultural communicators should take notice. I really think you need to check this out.
XM Satellite Radio With Willie Nelson
This is ZimmCast number 52. I know that means a year but in the early week’s I did a couple extra’s at an event. It took me a few weeks to get into the rythym. It’s close enough to a year though. My how time flies when you’re having fun.
