Five worthwhile reads for the weekend
- Problogger Darren Rowse sheds some light on how he mixes his own site with social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
- DoshDosh uses a recent article by Philip Myer in the American Journalism Review as the basis for an interesting post on the future of content. The DoshDosh article is here and Philip Meyer’s is here.
- JournaMarketing has a great little example of a small organisation using video journalism to good effect. One for even the smallest businesses.
- Springwise points to Distill, a new fashion magazine that collates and curates the best from other fashion magazines across the globe. Another reminder that content doesn’t always have to be created – you can be the curator as well.
- Finally, Chris Brogan has a timely reminder – and tons of examples to back it up – that a gulf still exists between the online, twittering, facebook poking, blogosphere and the real world of people. If most of your prospects are offline then you need to read this – and start working on ways to be that bridge.
