Dan Benjamin’s “The Conversation” – Ep 11, No Regrets
Dan Benjamin asked me to be on his show, “The Conversation” as a guest with Merlin Mann. Yep – the guy that wrote this, which is still my favorite written essay , online or off, ever. We talked about the iPad, Twitter plagiarism and other sundry things – and it was fun and a real rush to be a part of the show.
If you aren’t following Dan or 5by5.tv, you are missing out. Dan has a number of amazing shows, with wonderful guests including Jim Coudal, Jason Fried, Jeffrey Zeldman, Melissa Pierce and Liz Danzico (who has a must read blog, btw). I love that there are 2 fantastic women included in that group.
Watch and learn.
Different Ways to Update Blogs
I’m starting to look at different ways to update my blogs. As I my professional life gets more intense, I need ways of updating my web presence that easily integrates into my workflow.
A new medium that I’m experimenting in is video. Last weekend I bought a FlipCamera Ultra. It’s a really small camcorder that can fit into my bag that I can use to do video blog updates on the fly, short interviews and conference transcriptions. And a built-in USB connector and software makes uploading a snap. I’ve been carrying it everywhere and working on how best to use it. I love working in this new medium and I think it’s going to make my updates easier and more frequent.
I’m working on my closeup!
The other thing that is making things much easier is Jott. Since I started using it, Jott has made thing much easier.
Using Jott, I:
– Update my blogs
– Update Twitter
– Create Groups to update many people at once
– Send Jotts to individuals
– Update my 30Boxes calendar
– Update Jott from my desktop.
– Creating reminders and tasks across Folders
I Jott to myself, I Jott to my friends, I Jott to my collegues, I Jott to my blogs. I’m seeing more and more people in my network Jott-ing. Brian Solis at PR 2.0 just wrote a thoughtful post on how Jott impacts his productivity. Glad to see he’s Jott-ing instead of texting-while-driving!
These are two of the services/products I’m using to help me Get Things Done. I’m looking to forward to tracking how these continue to adapt to my workflow.
