Editor's Notes

  1. In the book…the link… IMPACT on news… can link to history instead of repeat it is it necessary for each paper to have its own golf writer? how is the story unique???
  2. Changes the structure. Generalization  Specialization Determine your specialty; your USP Mass of niches. Opportunities for collaboration.
  3. Mapping We had the website company we work with do a Google “Mash-up” for us… For Real Estate searches… We utilize one of the many vendors…in this case, “Total Commercial”
  4. Bad Lady Gaga. Pick up the phone. In the book… A platform enables. Helps others build value. Helps users create their own networks, products, communities, _____. EX: Google maps and the mashup we mentioned.
  5. Some examples of platforms can be seen here. Digg…aggregation of news stories. OR your Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter stream… Wikipedia…while still not allowed as an “official” source for scholarly research, pretty accurate. Based on the idea of the collective wisdom of crowds. CAVEAT – sometimes people are just wrong. Orlando Tip: NEVER followed the crowd at theme parks. Most people incorrectly believe they have to wait in line and don’t notice the empty area is actually the other line… Facebook platform is open for applications… Which unfortunately can lead to things like FARMVILLE.
  6. Flickr Orlando Rocks microsite
  7. Google alerts Tweetdeck HootSuite PR tools
  8. Mapping We had the website company we work with do a Google “Mash-up” for us… For Real Estate searches… We utilize one of the many vendors…in this case, “Total Commercial”
  9. The power of “SHARE”
