My executive channels of New Media

(This is dedicated to Kate212 who send me a question on my role in New Media)

It took me awhile to define the various channels for New Media and after many revisions, I may have finally narrowed them down.

First, there is the online awareness channel that is made up of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing.

The next channel I have developed is digital content. This consist of creating vidcast, podcasts and digital photography. Yes, they will be put online for sharing but I am on the current crusade to push these content on a social media release format which can be used as that new press release or pitch to the media and bloggers.

Interestingly, there have been an increase in demand for vidcasting recently as many are looking at the visuals to tell the story. The job includes scripting, storyboard, the recording itself and the final editing.

The third channel looks at the social networking sites to increase the awareness of the brand. Usually, B2B customers look to LinkedIN while B2C are interested more in Facebook.

Starting a group in LinkedIN or Facebook can be easy, but maintaining the interest of current or new members is where the hard work comes in. This is where the above channel comes in handy as they can be easily shared in such groups.

The final channel is event. This consist of blogger engagement activities where we look to consult clients on coming up with ideas that will interest bloggers, which bloggers to invite, consulting clients on how to talk to bloggers at such event, and I have also included the digital content here.

The digital content part works well for most B2C events. After taking photos and videos at such event, we usually post it up in Facebook and tag the various bloggers who attended the event. Not surprisingly, most bloggers do have a Facebook account.

Though these bloggers might bring their own digital cameras, the bloggers free to use the photos and videos for their blog post.

You might be asking, where is the blogging?

Blogging isn’t dead, but unfortunately in Asia, blogging can be very tedious as each post will need to go through countless and endless levels of approval before it can be published. This take too long and in the end, the blog only have a few entries to create interest in readers.

There, my helicopter view of my role in New Media.

Will mrbrown's post on Mr Tan Kin Lian's thermometer app "misadventure" promote technology ageism?

I am not ashamed to say I support Mr Tan Kin Lian as a presidential candidate because I believed in what he stood for. And when Mr Tan posted his "misadventure" with a thermometer app, I did shake my head in disbelief that he did that. Source:   http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2013/07/we-could-have-had-him-for-president.html Thinking twice, there could be a possibility that Mr Tan misunderstood how this app work. Most  thermometer app take data from various weather stations to display the temperature on it. Yes, the technology savvy will do a #facepalm when they read the post and mrbrown's post demonstrated it perfectly. Wrote mrbrown , "Maybe the former Presidential-hopeful didn't realize he needed to upgrade to the Pro version of the app. Then his iPhone would not only measure temperature, it would also measure current PSI (PM2.5 included), tell you if you are having your period, and cook instant noodles. Good thing he didn't try to measure boil

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would
