I’m pleased to announce that I was recently asked to be a contributor to the international DailyDOOH. It’s one of the most widely read blogs in the OOH industry. My first article about the new ‘Eyes On’ measurement system was the feature article for yesterday’s email newsletter. Here is the link to the article.

Aki Spicer, from Fallon, has a wonderful slideshow about the 10 Social Networking Trends. Here are the 10 topics it covers:

1 Social graphs
2 Social shopping
3 Portability
4 Lifestreaming
5 Crowdsourcing
6 Continuous partial attention
7 Privacy protection
8 Open social
9 Virtuality
10 Measurement 2.0

The best part is his insight into the virtual worlds that will be demanded by today’s  youth.  And if you get nothing else from it, his best point was that the good and bad of Social Networking is that no one has figured anything out yet!

I just registered for this Cisco web conference on April 3rd. I’m excited about it. The conference will have some great minds speaking about making your business Web 2.0 (I hate that term) compatible. The conference will demonstrate how these emerging applications can be applied to any type of business. Some of the speakers include: Don Tapscott, Jeremiah Owyang, Robert Scoble and David Knight.

If you’re a small business owner in any industry, work at an ad agency or a newly formed emerging media department, then this will probably be beneficial for you to watch.

Check out the details here. It looks like they’ll have it up for you to view until December 31st, but I think you still need to register.

Tim Berry has a link to a great video about entrepreneurship. Here is the link to the video.

I love learning about languages and how they’re used. I have several books on the origins and meanings of words. I was fascinated by the three Latin classes I took at LSU. It kind of bothers me that I never bothered to look up entrepreneur. I had no idea it was French (although it makes sense now) and really doesn’t mean anything in English. Also, one root means to immerse one’s self into something. I bet many entrepreneurs are baffled a bit by this because we are usually idea people; so our minds are constantly wandering!!
