First WXIA 11 Alive News Tweeter

11Alive, the NBC affiliate here in Atlanta has been using "citizen" tweeters on their morning show for months now.

Basically, bloggers, media personalities, and PR people have come in and live tweeted what they see going on during the morning show.

Well, 11 Alive has decided to add a "Tweeter" to their 6pm and 11 pm newscasts.

I was honored to be the first "news tweeter" on their 6pm Friday night newscast.

Nice to meet Rebecca, and anchor Jeff Hullinger along with meteorologist Mike Francis.

A great and professional newsroom.  Hope I did ok.

Shark Week Catches A Lot of Fans

From the folks at Deadline.com:

Discovery Channel’s Shark Week clocked its biggest audience in its 26-year history Sunday night. Nearly 5 million “fin-atics”  (blame Discovery, not me) tuned in for the two-hour fake docu, Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives – not all of them happily. Megalodon was up 141% in the 25-54 demo compared to the same two hours of 2012. Later, Shark After Dark, Shark Week’s first ever late-night talk show, clocked 2.1 million viewers. Discovery noted this afternoon that Shark Week continues to dominate social conversation year after year. On Sunday, it was responsible for the #1 most social show  — Megalodon — across broadcast and cable, according to SocialGuide, beating the NFL Hall of Fame Game — and even Justin Bieber: Never Say Never! Shark Week conversation on Twitter grew 66%, year over year, in primetime and late night, and was responsible for nearly 1 million Tweets for the day.

My Appearance on "The LinkedIn Lady Show" on May 7, 2013

Thanks again to Carol McManus for having me on her show.

I was on the May 7, 2013 show talking everything sports social media.  From hashtags, to using social media to stay safe on that run or bike ride, to talking about Jim Signorelli's new book about Story Branding.

Have a listen to the May 7 show.  This was a great show to do.
