The Intersection of Online and Offline

Sometimes, I get to have so much fun in my avocations that I feel guilty.

My latest fun-fest was being able to be part of “Conversations With Chip Griffin.” For those of you who do not know Chip, he is the Chairman of Custom Scoop as well as a self-described “serial entrepreneur.” I think that Chip has so many business ventures HE would be hard-pressed to name them all.

Our topic of discussion was interactive data, or XBRL, something that not a lot of people know about, but a potential technology, that if implemented, could fundamentally change the way that investors get information and make choices as to where to allocate their capital. It sounds like techno-babble, but with Chip, it’s always a fun conversation.

I had the pleasure and honor today of participating in the latest in the weekly series of “Media Bullseye Radio Roundtable ” with Sarah Wurrey and Jennifer Zingsheim. It was a fun and lively conversation. We covered:

• Reputation Management for College Grads - is your online presence visible and important to employers?
• UK Social Networking Sites Boots the Over-36 Crowd - a ridiculous rule by a UK-based social networking site through which they deleted all users over 36 because they were more likely to be sexual predators; and
• Online Complaints Departments and Customer Service - do online complaint sites work for all organizations, or just those with open communications systems?

Podcast is here.

Thanks so much to Jennifer, Sarah and Chip Griffin for letting me have some fun today.
