Talking Shop - Social Media Style

I just wrapped up a meeting with Erik, Jason and Greg from Avicom regarding social media and opportunities in the health care sector. It was refreshing to have a face to face conversation with individuals who "get it" and see the opportunity for using new media tools to communicate with internal and external audiences. You can move past the 101 conversation and really get into the vision for the future. 

Greg made an interesting point during the conversation about the future of online video and how it was going to be the player in the future (his statement was much more articulate). With YouTube rolling out high quality video's and seeing the continuing growth of that medium, he's dead on. 

I've spent the last 90 days getting my feet wet at Aurora and learning "how things are done" here. I'm looking forward to 2009 and the plans we have for making social media a regular tool in our communications program. 

I also want to thank the guys for motivating me to write a blog post. They basically shamed me for not having posted anything for a long time! Kidding by the way.

Hi Jamey!!

Thanks for the "shout out", man.

Glad we shamed you to start-up again. :-)

Everyone needs a little motivation sometimes.
