...what happens when technology and public relations collide
it’s taken a while but seems like my old employer has come up with a smart commercial. now pay attention, it’s not the first commercial, which is passable but not great. the second commercial when they received complaints for the first one is the funny one. mother is an energy drink marketed by the coca-cola company.
incidentally htfu people!
the original banned ad
the one they made after the banned one
you have come to the right place. this is still jonathannguyen.net. i thought, new year, new template.
over the coming weeks i will be updating jonathannguyen.net so you’ll notice a few changes afoot.
subsequent to a post a few months back where i unleashed the question upon the blogosphere asking whether i should maintain one blog or multiple i have decided for 2009 i should have multiple. so thank you to Gavin Heaton and Ross Hill.
the new sites are:
the tech: http://tech.jonathannguyen.net
where all things tech will be discussed. there will be web 2.0, enterprise 2.0 and social media tech that gets far too geeky to publish here.
etcetera: http://etc.jonathannguyen.net
where everything else goes. it’s news, current affairs, motorbikes and anything else that can’t be categorised.
i hope you find them interesting and subscribe!
i was taking a look at peoplebrowsr.com the other day and somewhere along the way, the name jodee rich popped up. i thought to myself: “surely not the one.tel jodee rich?” but sure enough a little digging and the ex-one.tel founder has himself a new project! will investors throw their money behind this venture too?
i read a post by kami over communications overtones where she discusses the social media “cultists”. i agree with her for the most part, as post echoes one of mine from the week earlier (great minds).
that is, until i got to the end of the post:
While the web world is indeed influential, it is not an accurate representation of the real world.
this is where our views diverge, for many people there is no distinction between the online world and the ‘real’ world. online communities are human communities. the dynamics may be different and people may behave differently to how they would behave in the ‘real’ world but they still behave like people. just a facet of themselves. i’ll give you an example, a normal person “joe blogs” would behave very differently in a room full of clients than he would in a room full of family right?
online is real. the dynamics are yet to be understood, but they are real. real enough that people kill themselves due to actions of others online and real enough to fall in love.
the distinction between the two is rapidly blurring and some suggest that digital natives really don’t see much of a difference between the two.
having read both of our posts though, i am seeing a bias in both of us as communicators (kami far more experienced than myself) that we see social media as a medium. i wonder if in ten years time, there will be any distiniction between online and offline.
