Word of Mobile…word gets around!

I want ot be clearer than I have been. Our business at Word of Mobile is not about making audio or video presentations for websites, although that is a main aspect of what we do.

The true value in our consulting services is helping organizations adjust their whole communications methods and sometimes business models around the new paradigms of the 21st century.

Throughout this blog you’ll read my thoughts and hear from many world leaders on this topic.

I strongly feel that this presentation by Thomas Friedman does a great job explaining the need for our work. If you are too busy to listen to it now, click the download button below the player to save it to your computer and listen whenever you want.

Here is a Youtube video promo of his latest project.

Here is our client Energy Saver Guy.com that is also helping with money and the environment.

Hey folks, if you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know I’m a big fan of using new media to educate in a more sustainable way.

Below is one of my favorite sustainable business podcasts. If you are interested in transitioning your company to a sustainable one, this podcast provides a great real world case study of Interface fabrics and their ongoing effort to become sustainable.

The podcast is also very neatly presented in this flash based audio podcast player by Big Contact.

Unfortunately, the code from big contact is not working in this Wordpress blog. Apparently another one of the web 2.0 growing pains. I expect to have the player in a future post.

From a new media consulting perspective this media is created almost perfectly. The host of the show, Doug Pilgrim, is honest, open and transparent. He knows the topic and provides great interviews with knowledgeable guests.

The podcast is not sponsored by the company but certainly is supported by the company and makes me want to buy!

Enjoy,
David

I got into new media and web communications to reduce my carbon footprint. It is working well. I can now reach 2 billion people from my cell phone without leaving my office.

Sure the information superhighway infrastructure has an environmental impact, but it is a lot fewer people traveling and lot less physical footprint on the ground than the massive car, train and plane based structures.

I know it is easier to watch then read so here is a link to some good interactive flash and video presentations on the impact of broadband (high speed internet) on the economy and the environment.

Here is another interesting link to a great blog about broadband and climate change.

To help us understand the impact of digital communications on the environment, here is a simple projected money saving calculation from the NextGenWeb Blog.

Telecommuting takes cars off the road and could deliver $3.9 billion in time and fuel cost savings annually, while drastically reducing traffic, greenhouse gas emissions and America’s dependence of foreign oil.

Are you wondering if you are getting the most economic impact from your didgital communications?

If so, call me 518-320-2613, ask for David.

I’ll be happy to help you reduce your carbon footprint while growing profits, enhancing customer service and product development.

This is my second post about Fora.tv. I really like their media display interface. It is very viewer friendly and well thought out.

I can access specific parts or all of a video. I can download and share socially right from the clip.

Here is an example of a section of a longer clip, which makes for great viral media and overview content for people who are just being introduced to the topic and presenter.

Is YouTube for young kids or people trying to become famous with Crazy stunts?

Yes!

Is YouTube for reaching the world in an efficient, cost effective manner?

Yes!

Is YouTube in your corporate communications strategy?

If no, then call us David at Word of Mobile 518-320-2613

Here are some interesing YouTube videos that I have learned from with very little carbon footprint and Zero travel costs.

Enjoy,

In the years i have been studying and working in the new media field, I’ve talked with many people who said something like, “You have big dreams, there is a lot of potential or we can’t change the world with an online video.”

Generally, in my opinion, these people were thinking about the past, the Industrial Age, a time when if something wasn’t physical it wasn’t valuable. This is not the current age we live in.

Additionally, I would say that every moment is new and therefore a change. Whether we choose to create the change we wish to accomplish or let others create it, change will and does happen in every moment.

I look forward to your response.
David
