Wake up to the power of the net!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Chew on this for a minute! Half of all adults in the U.S. have blogged, texted, or used social networks to connect with others. HALF of all adults.

And when you isolate the 18 to 34 year olds, the numbers reveal 9 out of 10 are using these forms of communication.

Terry Heaton, one of my favorite bloggers on the digital age, shares those important numbers, in his recent Po Mo Blog.

Its a very interesting read for those paying attention to social media.

And if you aren’t paying attention, time to wake up!

The coffee’s been brewing for a while and if you don’t start sipping, it’s going to taste pretty nasty!

BEHIND THE SCENES: Filling in, it isn’t as easy as it looks

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Chris Cato makes it look easy when he fills in for Tom Crabtree, but let me show you that its not!

Chris is an excellent reporter, and when he fills in anchoring, he still has to do that job too!

So tonight I caught him doing what I always see him doing when he’s wearing both hats… using commercial breaks to write his intoduction and closing comments for his story.

So check it out, and hats off to Chris for wearing so many dog gone hats!

Street View Google Maps - Amazing!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Wow… have you heard? Have you already checked it out?

Google maps now offers street view for the Greenville area!

You can click on a little person at the location you are heading to, and see exactly what the location looks like! It’s crazy.

Our anchor/reporter Chris Cato and I were chatting about this on set tonight, and he was kind of annoyed that at his house his wife’s car is in the picture (though the tag is blurred out). Chris said, “I’m just glad they didn’t take the picture when her boyfriend was there!” LOL!

Now Chris is just joking.. but imagine.. you are a cheater and they happen to take the shots when you’re at the girlfriends place! YIKES!

There are people I follow on Twitter, like THINKHAMMER who want to know if any local folks have been captured in the shots. Have you seen yourself on Google Maps StreetView? Let me know.

I’m posting a video tour to show you what its like,so check it out and tell me what you think!!
