Please forward this information to those community centers who wish to include new interactive technology in their teaching methods


Hey Charles,

I'm producing this audio clip for a very particular reason. It's designed for you and the members whom you have on your email list. Of which I'm really honored to be part of. But I can humbly say as well that you and the others are in for a special gift. A gift of very useful content over time!

You and I have known each other for over twenty years. We met when Harold Washington was mayor. And we met specifically when you were advising Ed Smith on his 1st run for alderman. And we've been 2 freelance, community oriented brainstormers ever since (From the westside to the western suburbs, we're tracked and discussed the issues in our community). I've mentioned all of this so that your a-listers know that we you and I have a history in our community.

As you know I've focused my attention for many years on how the internet impacts the African American Community. In fact almost each time that we bump into one another, I'm always sharing some aspect of my ongoing research focus data with you.

Well now it's time to share my collected data and research findings with more folks. And I choose to educate those whom I have experienced a fruitful, warm relationship thru the years.

It appears that based on the research and study that I've done on: Blogging, podcasting, simple website design, netcasting, internet radio, audio, video blogs, web channels, creative digital photos designs, emerging mobile phone technology and so much more has become very important in the community and thruout our country. And I have been closely following the footprints of some of the internets more innovative poineers such as: Dan bricklin, yaro, darren rowse, brain clark, jenette cates to name a few greats minds over the years. I've come to recognize so many connecting dots of emerging signs of things to come as far as what's what in todays's ( right now) emerging digital media. We are all witness to probably the greatest informational transistion that the world has known. Some among our community must earnestly begin to translate what is really going on. And not pontificate on those areas that they cannot provide, honest, knowledgable and valuable informational contributions. In short we must wake up!

Therefore I'm going to make it a point to coach you and your a-list emailers on what's what as it pertains to current and emerging digital technology and new media concepts (at least those who are thirsty to learn about my efforts therein).And I hope ya'll are wise enough to listen and utilize the information that you will receive.

So buckle up and let your friends hear these words. I will be your new media digital, multimedia advice coach. You and your friends will receive the benefit, the unique information, the many online resources, that they need to know, concerning what's what and what are the really important current and emerging multimedia learning tools and features that our community ought to place our focus on and participate in.

Now then many of your a-list people have been invited to share uncommon information that took me many years to decode and understand. I sincerely trust that most have the wisdom, the vision and the energy to realize what I'm sharing with your list. Your future learning envioronment must include interactive learning abilities. I can help those who hear this information get there. I won't do the work, but I can provide you a format. A correct perspective upon which some of you may begin to prepare for a digital future that is changing global positions as I write.

So get ready. I will be sending you, my blog. I will post my message each week on my blog or podcast. And it will arrive to your email and you can keep your group informed thru the blog.

Lastly, I encourage you Charles or any one of your a-listers to ask me any questions concerning new media concepts, anytime. My cell 312-802-4573. i look forward to working with some of you very soon.

And please don't forward to those on your list who are not interested. Of which I certainly respect their opinions as well.

Take care my friend,
Sy Bounds

Small Businesses Are You Listening!


I can't figure out to what degree that a change is taking place. But blogs are really taking off. Is it a sea change? I'm still guessing!
But my sense is that those / we small businesses who begin to blog. Are going to reap the coming harvest.
Presently I'm having a senior moment. Or maybe the creative writing juices just aren't flowing as I would like. Otherwise I would attempt to put Sy's spin on blogging possibilties currently as I see it. But, instead I'm going to direct you to a couple of the smartest, easy for me to read, blogging guru's in my humble opinion. And I will put on my learning cap, just like everyone else.
These guys are true thought leaders on this topic........Enjoy!

If You're A Small Business And You're Not Blogging Or If You Are Not Discussing Blogging, Could This Be Why?

The quotes below are from Brad Shorr and I whole-heartedly agree....

"How blogs are reshaping public relations by giving companies direct access to their audiences?"


"Right now, the business blogosphere is dominated by tech industry bloggers and some very major names from other sectors. But the trend toward blogging and conversational marketing is irreversible. Companies in other industries should pay close attention. They can capitalize by getting involved early".
" To do things right, we want to spend as much time as possible inside the client's office, to learn the business, and build relationships with the staff, become part of the team. We believe that's the best way to help clients market. We'll have to invest some extra time, but it's worth it if it gets results."
"These differences have huge implications for what and how a company communicates"
"When a customer gets past the hype and the one-way communication and starts to see the client as a group of people offering something of real value....good things happen. Marketing used to be "LOOK AT ME!" More and more, it's becoming "LOOK AT US!"
"A number of industries have embraced business blogs en masse. Yet, I meet executives all the time who have never looked at a blog, let alone considered starting one"
"The time for investigation is at hand. Estimates of the number of blogs are iffy, but run as high as 70 million worldwide. Whatever the number, blogs are spreading like wildfire. Some experts predict business blogs will eventually replace traditional Web sites altogether. That may sound incredible, but there's no doubt blogs are changing the nature of business communication in a big way."
"That being the case, businesses need to do two things."
"Learn about blogs and the many ways to use them, and determine whether now is the right time to start blogging"
"As you explore blogs, you will quickly see they behave nothning like websites. Web site communication is one-way: blogs are discussion forums. Websites are full of big picture marketing jargon: blogs are personal and plainly written. Web sites tend to radiate nothning but positive spin: blogs put it all on the table, good news and bad."
"On the plus side, the first bloggers in a particular niche usually wind up being the most successful. Having a reputation for thought leadership within your industry will attract business, even if your company is relatively small."
"I talk to executives in a variety of relatively low-tech industries that seem to be in a blogging no-man's land."
Their customers are older and may be just now getting comfortable with email. They value personal contact and phone calls, and wouldn't read a blog if you paid them.
But these executives are starting to encounter a new group of decision-makers with the opposite mentality. People that can't imagine life without email and would only use the phone if their life depended on it.
"Bridging the gap between these two customers types might be, in the end, the best reason to start blogging sooner rather than later. More on blogs to come."
" We want to help clients who are frustrated with their results, and have the sneaking suspiction they need to think about marketing in a new way."
All of the above statements are taken from blog posts by Brad Shorr___http://in-sidemarketing.blogspot.com/
_____________________________________
Now here's my thought.....
" There were two cafe's downtown. One was across the street from the other. One cafe had a website. An active website. And the other cafe didn't use online blogging-technology.
Which cafe do you think will be there in five years?......
"Just thinking outloud!"

Technology in the Past Has Worked Against the Black's Interest..Why?

" I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."

- Leo Tolstoy

" There is a natural opposition among men to anything they have not thought of themselves."

- Barnes Wallis


Both of the above quotes are almost exactly ways in which far too often I have found ring true, regarding the current African American community social folkways. To ignore such tendecies among present day African Americans is to forget that technology was always used against our race in the past.

And finally when now remarkable opportunities confront our race, all that is required is that we bring a sense of eager participation, an open mind and a sincere, honest approach.

I suspect that most of my people who are reading this, probably rank far above this writer in education, social status and economic well being. But, I believe that it's time that we put these titles in perspective and begin to develope small neighborhood forums and just have a conversation! A creative conversation and a sense of non-judgemental listening. Yes, that's what we should do. Now you know, go for it!

Cheers,
Sy Bounds

Today's Quote, Think About It! As We Approach Today's Technology!


" The mind likes a strange idea as little as the body likes a strange protein and resist it with similar energy.

It would not perhaps be to fanciful to say that a new idea is the most quickly acting antigen known to science. If we watch ourselves honestly we shall often find that we have begun to argue against a new idea even before it has been completely stated!"

- Mark Twain

I guess the relation between Mark Twain's above observation remind me of the missed, opportunities, oversights and purposeful avoidance of todays technology by so many folks in our community. As a concerned internet technology researcher who seeks to inform and interpret my research finding back to the community in as practical and clear way as possible. I find the last sentence in his quote, to be absolutely true.
