As I discuss on
my blog over at
shanerhyne.com, a list just published by the Webby Awards featuring
the ten most influential internet moments of the past decade has made me curious about how rapidly our work places have evolved.
I'd like to write a more thorough overview on the topic of how the c…

I feel like a bad social media-ite lately. I've kept myself busy at work, but haven't really been doing much to keep my various other social media projects updated. I'm way behind on uploading photos to
Flickr, I haven't posted a new blog entry at
No Silence Here in days, my long-planned new personal blog is still mostly in the planning stages, and I haven't up…

Hello,
September has been a busy and happy month for me. So busy in fact, that I see I have failed to officially update everyone here on my big news.
As today's media release confirms,
I have joined Ackermann PR's digital communications team . I started working here as Katie Granju's assistant on a part-time basis at the beginning of the month and was delighted when Cathy Ackerm…

Frank Cagle offers some observations on the growing role of digital media in local political campaigns in this week's Metropulse.
Some choice quotes:
*
"The days when a political campaign could ignore the new technologies are over. And a candidate who doesn’t 'get it' is laboring under a handicap."
*
"Content is king. And during this gubernatorial race, we will take the content where we find…

Georgianna Vines included a mention of my "Politically Connected" series today in her KNS column.
I forgot to mention that
Michael Silence had included a reference to it in one of his Sunday print columns a couple of weeks ago.
I mention them here because, in both cases, the printed art…

I was listening to
Michael Silence,
Glenn Reynolds, and
Jack Lail yesterday on
George Korda's talk show on WNOX. I ended up calling the show in a failed attempt to win free food, but ende…

I've posted a follow-up on
No Silence Here about the Knoxville City Council candidates and their planned use of social media in the upcoming campaigns.
I'm thinking of calling the planned series, "Politically Connected." What do you think?
For a quick update, there are now two new candidate web sites up (
Bates and…

Following on the heels of the 2008 election and the wide coverage of the use of social media during those campaigns, I was curious to see what, if any, effect the social media trend would play on local elections. This summer provides me with an ideal opportunity to study that topic up close as the city of Knoxville's 2009 campaign season for five city council seats started today.
I wrote the first post in what I hope is a series of articles about the local campaigns and how they will be using (…

I blogging on No Silence Here today about a
cool use of Twitter I've been enjoying over the weekend.
A NASCAR team (sponsored by East Tennessee's Little Debbie snack cakes) is providing fans with live updates during the race. On the face of it, it's nothing groundbreaking. Lots of folks have given live Tweet updates of special events and sporting events before.
But it did make me wonder why you don't see…

I officially started yesterday as the new co-blogger at No Silence Here. So far, I'm mostly just getting my blogging legs under me. My old blog (Tennessee Values Authority) was really more about longer essays, so I'm trying to get accustomed to the shorter style that Michael uses. However, he hasn't suggested that I shorten my posts-- he does remind me that pixels are free. But, I'd like to get in the habit of writing shorter posts anyway.
If you'd like, feel free to drop by sometime at…

Some of you who've known me for a while know that I used to host a blog under the pseudonym "Tennessee Values Authority." I had to give it up for a while as real life intervened on too many fronts.
I was always grateful that several bloggers, most notably
R. Neal of
Knoxviews and
Michael Silence of
No Silence Here, were always complimenting my writing and encouraging me to get back into the…
