Be A Hero, Stop SOPA

I’m not sure what to do about this. I haven’t read this whole SOPA thing to minute detail.

I know my favorite host is opposing it.., and my favorite platform. And I think I have a pretty good picture by now.
The WordPress blog post this video.., and I feel it explains it all quite nicely.

I’m not an American and I do think it has to be stopped there.
So share this video or the word (not necessarily this post).

Update: I found a post on the OC Tech Daily and I’m going to quote them.., because they put it better than I would, so this would be your call to action:

Fortunately, a new company called SendWrite is providing their services for free to help combat this bill. SendWrite is in the business of sending physical letters via snail mail on its user’s behalf. You don’t have to be concerned with stamps, going to the post office, or any conventional envelope licking. To use this free service to help stop SOPA, visit https://sendwrite.com/sopa/. The process is very simple. Just select your state from the dropdown list, select your representative (if you don’t know who that is, there’s a link to lookup by zip code), populate the template with your information, and send.

Update: SendWrite no longer accepts new requests.., I saw now the post mentioned is 2 months old.., so it can make sense. They suggest heading over to “AmericanCensorship.org“. I suggest you do the same.

Ahhh.., am I allowed to post this or am I infringing something now?

Squared

Three years since I started posting a picture on Flickr every day. Sometimes I forgot, but only a hand full of times, but I posted something anyway.

Only two rules.., the picture had to be taken with my iPhone and in portrait.
Later, when an app became availble for the 3G I shot some video too. When the iPhone 4 came out, shooting video in portrait was no longer an option. The 1280 x 720 resolution was too slim compared to the 640 x 480, it just looked silly.

Instagram

Now.., because it has been three years I thought I would change things. Instagram does a great job at reproducing the world in a 1 to 1 ratio, a square ratio. More and more apps are playing along and it does look attractive. Furthermore, it gives me more freedom and more options.., and my photostream stays nice and tidy.
I searched for an app that could shoot square video and ToyCineCam does just that.

  

I think it looks quite good…

Social Media Training Within The Company

One of the things I learned by staring very hard at my RSS Feeds is that social media is something done by the whole company.
Sure, somebody can (or has to) be in charge, but all employees should know about it, contribute and share.

Training

That is why I put ‘training’ in my strategy and people asked why.., well.., because everybody needs to take part (even if it’s only a little).
Jay Baer (Convince & Convert) puts it very well in this short talk and it (the talk) will help me convince (and convert) any stragglers or non-believers.
