Social Recruiting
ocial recruiting is a hot topic, heck why wouldn’t you want to source candidates for free? With the plethora of social sites and channels you would think it would be as easy as taking candy from a baby. In reality social sourcing can be a huge time suck – jumping in and out of social channels, LinkedIn groups and twitter.
Demo software – Camtasia Studio
I have been playing with Camtasia Studio for a while for our internal and external use. I recently found the play list feature with Screencast.com.
Augmented Reality – have you seen it?
General electric has a fantastic sample of augmented reality on www.plugintothesmartgrid.com. The video shows how it works. You print out a marker, turn on your web cam and wow! I am investigating using this technology at our user conference. Imagine putting the marker on your name tag and when you walk by a bank of webcams/plasma screens a message comes our of your tag.
Community thinking
I was recently interviewed by Jennifer Jones for her podcast Marketing Voices about social media. Jennifer works with many small to medium sized companies and wanted to hear my perspectice on communities for businesses. We talked through a few applications that I am using as paret of my marketing mix including twitter, facebook and a Ning community.
