5 Links to Mastering Podcasting

By Jeff Cobb Leave a Comment

linksWhat if you could be heard by a global audience that is looking for just the types of expertise and insights you can provide?

What if you could reach them not only at the office, but in their cars, while they are working out, or even while they are doing the dishes?

You can, of course, if you launch a podcast. In this post, I offer links to what I feel are five of the best sources both for the practical how tos of setting up a podcast, but also why you may want to do it.

Cognitive Surplus in the Shallows of the iPad

By Jeff Cobb

Two books that I consider must-reads for anyone concerned about the social and economic impact of new technologies are  The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, by Nicholas Carr, and Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age, by Clay Shirky.

I read both, I should add, as eBooks downloaded to my iPad.

Cool Tools 2010

By Jeff Cobb

For the past three years I have done a session called “Cool Tools School” for the Association Executives of North Carolina annual technology showcase. The session is always fun to do because attendees like it and it motivates me to go out and check up on what is new and interesting out there in the world of free or low-cost tech tools.

Even though the presentation is for association executives, there is nothing that limits these tools to associations – they are broadly useful. Below is my my slide deck from the session, which I present here using a cool tool from way back: Slideshare.net. Also, you can find links for all of the cool tools referenced in the presentation on the resource page I set up for the 2010 AENC Technology Showcase.

10 Reasons to Use WordPress for Your Web site

By Jeff Cobb 2 Comments

Earlier this week a person who attended one of my recent speaking sessions on social media e-mailed to ask me a question about converting his organization’s Web site over to blogging software. As I was writing back, I realized that when I speak I always advocate using blogging software, but I haven’t really written much about it here. Specifically, for small-to-mid-sized organizations, I highly recommend using WordPress not just for blogging, but for powering your entire Web site. Here are 10 reasons why: [Read more…] about 10 Reasons to Use WordPress for Your Web site
