Core Conversation: The Mobile Web in 2010

LunaWeb — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:53:49 +0000

Join us in a few hours for the first Core Conversation podcast of 2010 – we’re discussing mobile web technology and where it’s headed in the new year. You can call and weigh in on the topic at (646) 721-9429, or you can listen live here beginning at 11:30 a.m. CDT. As always, we’ll be keeping an eye on Twitter as well, so you can join in the chat by replying to @SMExpedition.

Core Conversation, 12/18: Predictions for 2010

LunaWeb — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:19:18 +0000

We’re about to fire up the phone lines for today’s call-in podcast, the Core Conversation.

It’s that time of the year where we dust off our latent soothsaying skills and make predictions about the coming trip around the sun. We’ll be eyeing the future ourselves and hope you’ll join us.

If you can’t call in, we’ll be conducting the conversation simultaneously on Twitter. We hope you’ll join us!

Core Conversation: A look back at 2009

LunaWeb — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:46:45 +0000

Forget the gifts and the yummy food — the best thing about the end of the year is predictions. Everyone who’s anyone and has access to the internet wants to broadcast their bets for 2010. So in keeping with the spirit, this week’s Core Conversation will be part one of a two-part series: next Friday we’ll make our own predictions about 2010, but this Friday we want to take a look back at who had to eat crow in 2009.

We’re doing some digging now to seek out those bloggers who made predictions about social media and Web 2.0 around this time last year to find out how they panned out. If you’re one of those guilty parties, drop us a line or leave a comment here with a link to your blog. (And of course we want you to call in and participate, as well!) We’ll talk about predictions gone wrong and gone very, very right; if you’ve got something to brag about we want to hear that, too!

You can listen to the show live as usual here or call in to participate at (646) 721-9429. We’ll kick things off at 11:30 a.m. Central time on Friday.

Core Conversation: How will social media change our holiday season?

LunaWeb — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:00:21 +0000

Every day it seems someone new is making a newer and grander statement about how social media has changed all of our lives. It’s changed the way we communicate, how we meet people and how we stay connected with friends. Sure. But how will our constantly wired status affect our holiday celebrations this year?

What about all those people you’re friends with on Facebook or follow on Twitter who, years ago, never would’ve appeared on your Christmas card list? Do you feel more pressure to extend your gift-giving based on your extended social media network? Has your holiday party schedule been maxed out by Facebook event invitations?

That’s the topic we’re delving into on this week’s Core Conversation, happening at the usual time (Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) through our friends at Blog Talk Radio. We’d love to hear from you — you can call in and participate at (646) 721-9429, or you can listen to the entire show live here.

Core Conversation: Social Equity and What’s Stumping You

LunaWeb — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:55:22 +0000

It may be Black Friday, but we won’t be taking this week off — you can listen to the Core Conversation podcast as usual at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. And since many of our listeners will be home from work recovering from turkey-induced exhaustion, what better day to call in and participate in the broadcast?

On this week’s show, we’ll be delving into the concept of social equity: how much is social media “success” worth to you or your business? Is there a dollar sign on the face of each Twitter follower or Facebook fan? If so, how high is it and how much are you willing to invest to get it?

We’ll also be talking about the ongoing adventures of #FeedbackFriday, and inviting anyone with a social-media-stumped situation on their hands to give us a call and hash it out. What’s your latest road block? What are you trying to figure out? Call in and let’s work it through this week. We’ll talk to you on Friday!

With today’s Core Conversation podcast, we’re tackling BarCamp with a start/stop/keep format. Let us know what was missing, what needs to go away, and what worked for you.

At our usual Core Conversation time (11:30 a.m. Central) we’ll be available to hear your thoughts on how we can make the next “camp” experience the best it can possibly be. You can listen to the entire podcast live or later here, or dive in and let us know what you think by calling (646) 721-9429.

Share your BarCamp feedback on this week’s Core Conversation

LunaWeb — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:05:16 +0000

In true Feedback Friday style, this week’s Core Conversation podcast will be a discussion on the recent BarCamp Memphis and we want your comments. After any event like this it’s good to step back, take stock and look at what went right, what could’ve gone better and what we should ditch altogether. We call it the start/stop/keep style, and that’s where we need your help on Friday.

At our usual Core Conversation time (11:30 a.m. Central) we’ll be available to hear your thoughts on how we can make the next “camp” experience the best it can possibly be. You can listen to the entire podcast here, or dive in and let us know what you think by calling (646) 721-9429.

We’ll talk to you on Friday!

Join us for our weekly Core Conversation podcast as we discuss this week’s topic: “Famous last social words.”

What have you heard said that is absolutely true about social media that fell flat just six months later? Or what mistakes have you seen made through social media that have ended up being a user’s “last social words?”
