Social Media, Social Networking, and Zennie62: a talk with Tonya Hall

Tonya Hall 

A Saturday morning talk on Social Media and Social Networking between Tonya Hall which is she @Barzhini and Zennie Abraham, uh, that's me here @zennie62.

And it's in the morning at 10 AM EDT, 7 AM PDT at (click here) TonyaHall.net (radio tab, listen live). Yep, the morning talk show at its best!  Pour some coffee!

Tonya Hall's show is called The Tonya Hall Show - Embracing the POWER of Social Media!, and she's had people like 140 Character Conference Founder Jeff Pulver, and Foursquare Founder Dennis Crowley as guests, so I'm in good company. But what are we going to talk about?

Well...

With the slow death of traditional media, and the increasing knowledge gap between established New Media players and the enormous number of new players entering the market, what should you do to not only become a competent user of New Media tool, but to stay relevant in a sea of constant change? That's one of the questions and issues Tonya and I will tackle.

I'm going to leave the rest of the conversation for you to consume, but keep in mind I've been in this space since the 1990s when I was in AOL chatrooms learning how to place links in my responses, to 2006, when I discovered something called video-blogging via a convention called "Vloggercon."

Here's a video preview of where our talk might go:

Using New Media At The DNC Convention - How Zennie62 Does It



What do you get out of SXSW other than Mark Cuban?



Stabbing at Comic Con 2010 - Man stabbed in face with pen at Resident Evil panel

Why this one? Because the video was created in response to a disturbance as it happened, and in total the news that something was happening at Comic Con traveled around the convention within what one observer estimated to be just 20 minutes. The video captures the chaos of the moment as I was standing in line to see the Marvel Entertainment Panel for The Avengers.
