Brough Turner, Entrepreneur and Engineer, from Dancing to Internet Access

A recent podcast of ours is more a conversation with Brough Turner and not really an interview. A full transcription is on Techistan. Brough is an engineer and entrepreneur who I met at the VON 2006 show the first time. He discusses his own history from phone hacking at MIT to morphing many times in business, making some money on the way, craigslist, wireless, 4G and 3G, one laptop per child, dancing, and his ideas for changing the way people access the Internet. Listen and/or read, whatever your preferred information receipt style at http://www.techistan.net/2010/02/05/spend-a-few-minutes-with-brough-turner/.

Mzinga, Techistan and Rad-Info Share Social Media for Business Marketing



First, let me thank the guys from Inc.com who used my camera to film this. In fact, if anyone was at this panel discussion during ITEXPO East 2010 that Mzinga, Rad-Info and I were a part of and knows these guys, put them in touch with me. I want to thank them and love the commentary behind the camera. You must listen. If you can't see the video on this blog, go to Viddler. The video is 34 minutes long, too long to upload to Youtube. The original, much better quality version was almost 1 1/2 GB large, so I had to reduce the size and therefore the video quality, but the voice sounds pretty good.

Second, so sorry... me, the English teacher starting the presentation with a subject verb non-agreement. __________ and __________ is? Bad, bad. On the other hand listen to Isaac, Peter, some the audience and me as we share tips.

Mzinga's Isaac talks about who is the audience, solving your audience's needs, being a good observer, keeping in mind membership ROI (your networks)... It's a toolbox that enables conversations. Traditional marketing like mass emails compared to the new shows the greater efficiency of the new. He shares two case studies, the second one was their client AllState Insurance. The company looked to Mzinga to help them guildi a community on Allstate website for social networking. It would help their clients really interact with representatives about things like teenage car drivers, drinking and driving, seatbelts, senior citizen and estate planning, etc. Instead of keeping this in a walled garden, Mzinga helped Allstate use what is already available on the Internet in the form of social media.

I mention Linkedin recommendations and questions and answers; Facebook events, wall, pages and groups; Twitter's feed into Linkedin, mixing social media to help clients, vendors and industry partners get what THEY want. More on blogging and podcasting, digging to China,  and more. Isaac has a very professional social networking/media service at Mzinga that he discusses. I share one case study of the one year marketing campaign to help Kenyan Americans get Kenya DID on DIDx.

Viddler Video Ad-supported and Paid Versions, No limit on Length

Is there a limit to the size of the videos I can upload to http://www.viddler.com?
Right now, the limit is 500 MB (no length limit) per video, and there is no limit to the total number of videos uploaded. I'm enjoying Viddler as another great way to learn, share, collaborate, and develop business.

Flight Fees and Taxes Almost Equal to the Flight Cost Itself

Can you believe this? I found a lower price elsewhere, but I didn't find anything different in regards to the taxes and fees for roundtrip flight from Florida to Barcelona, Spain for GSMA Mobile World Congress on Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwired, Kayak, or on the actual airlines' websites.

See you at the conference in Barcelona. I'll be there from Feb. 15-20, working on behalf of our magazine Techistan and developing business for the 16,200 or so service providers (wired and wireless, mixed with social media quite often) who use DIDXchange for direct inward dialing over SIP and IAX2.
