In this episode of theorycast, I interview anthropologist Grant McCracken, on his recent book, Chief Culture Officer. This interview took place at the Futures of Entertainment 4 conference at MIT. Video from his book talk is also included.
While visiting Singapore in October '09, I checked in with Kelly Choo of Brandtology to learn more about their social media sentiment intelligence service. While the U.S. has services such as Radian6 and Omniture, this space is relatively new and growing in Asia.
At the Futures of Entertainment 4 conference in MIT, I asked academics Xiaochang Li, Sheila Seles and William Uricchio of the Convergence Culture Consortium on their definitions of "transmedia". From what I understand, it's a new "lens" for us to make sense of experiences, both past and present.

In this hour long chit-chat, Ivan Chew bring Michelle Thorne and me to a tea house, where we experienced the art of Chinese tea drinking, and shared a critical perspective of how tea drinking runs counterculture to contemporary consumerism.
Having been called Dr. Lim for about a week now, my colleagues at the TLC threw me an awesome graduation party. I even invited some of my UB friends!
Thanks to Jess Manocchio, I’ve been re-invited to speak at PRSA Buffalo, kicking off their Sunrise Seminar series on social media. While my previous talk in February focused on listening in social media, this time I’ll be bringing folks on a journey through how social media strategies are generated. Along the way, I’ll recommend the use of conversation filtering and analysis tools such as cotweet and JamiQ. Live tweets from the floor are tagged #PRSAtalk.
