IT Freely, Episode #7 : New Media
This week we talk about the complex issue of credibility of ‘New Media’ – blogging, podcasting, twittering (tweeting?) and social networking. While these new technologies allow people to customise news, to get news faster, and indeed allows everyone to become a publisher, we might have to be careful about the quality we attribute to news sources. We talk about some of the ways some businesses can – and are – saving money by advertising their wares over the internet, using social networking to get their products in front of potential customers.
We interview Emmanuel of 2600 on his way to the HAR (Hacking at Random) conference and hear his views about the quality of bloggers, twitterers and the like. Then we just leave him in a taxi with Dave – we’re very mean – hahaha
All this and more in this week’s IT Freely podcast.
