AgWired

I thought I’ve been pretty clear about the fact that you can send me your company/organizational news and announcements for possible posting here on AgWired but I’m finding that some companies are not doing so or forget to include us at times. So I guess all I can do is remind you again. If you want your customers to know what you’re up to then you won’t find a better outlet than this one which is reaching people involved in agricultural marketing on many different levels and with many different touch points, like AgWired, AgWired Mobile, ZimmNews and through our YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and AgWired Live TV accounts.

So, send your announcements to news@agwired.com. Or you can send them to my personal email at chuck@zimmcomm.biz.

They then have the potential to run here and perhaps on AgWired Mobile as well.

I’d also like to address a comment someone made to me yesterday which bothered me and I’m pretty sure isn’t shared by many, but. . . The comment about AgWired was, “Isn’t that some kind of industry gossip column?” The person admitted to not having read my content. The answer is, “NO.” We don’t write gossip, we don’t write speculation and we don’t violate confidences. If you ever find that happening then I sure hope it gets brought to my attention asap.

We’re a daily source of news about agricultural marketing that you won’t find anywhere else. The goal is to help you be better agrimarketers. You should be able to find ideas and hopefully learn more about the latest techniques to communicate whether you work for an agency, media company, farm group, agribusiness or farm yourself. Do you think that the AgWired online community accomplishes that?

I’m not sure if mobile computicating is a term but the phones of today are computers that let us communicate on the go and today the iPhone took a step forward. I got back from Nashville in time to follow along with Tom Kravitz on One More Thing as he wrote about the stage show at the Apple WWDC. I really like the idea of updating your post during a presentation like this.

For you ag meeting planners out there, “How about some wireless internet access during the presentations and in the meeting rooms?” I know many of you are finally getting a media room with internet access but we’re way beyond that. Of course, we can update our websites from our phones and with more AT&T 3G, it’s getting easier.

If none of this makes sense to you then we need to talk about how you’re communicating in a web 2.0 world.
