I'd be happy to discuss our training. Feel free to drop me a note at tim.brice@noaa.gov

All I want to say is, maybe it's time for NWS and FEMA to tweet the URL of FEMA P-320, urging people who lost homes to tornadoes to rebuild safer. I'm not on Twitter and don't know how to fit it into the 140-character limit, but the word isn't getting out to enough people.

Tim, the work you all are doing at NWS has been leading edge, and is much appreciated. Thank you! It became very clear to me how important NWS being on top it was during the Moore, OK tornado events earlier this year when I was helping administer a local FB page and multiple tornadoes were on the ground.

I'd be very interested in chatting about/seeing your training info on the use of colors in graphics.

Excellent post, Jed and Measured Voice. Important points throughout. I will be sure to share, and will also reference these point in the upcoming social media for disaster response and recovery classes I'll be teaching around the San Francisco Bay area in January.

For the past year, on almost a weekly basis, the social media team of the NWS has been giving training on various topics related to social media to all the NWS offices. We have been getting ready for a day like this. We've given training on the basics; "How to Tweet", to, the effective use of colors in graphics, to what makes an effective tweet. We've had different training on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Thanks for noticing the great effort these offices put out during the event. Weather is going to happen so I'm glad that we will be able to use social media to help get our messages out in an effective and timely way.

Excellent story. I followed @MarsPhoenix the second I heard about it in 2008 (from a friend at NASA) and have applauded NASA's use of social media ever since. Great observations in the article.

Dear Jed,

I'm impressed by your job, it is a really amazing thing!

I have two questions:

1. How handle and how to cope with all the communication tools on a regular basis?

2. Who and how to respond to readers' questions, if the responsible person for the social media is not fully owns the information?
Because in some organizations there are specially designated personnel who responsible for social media and sometimes these people don't know about the whole situations within the organization or about the plans etc.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Medgat Olzhayev

what are your organizational experiences of usage of social media officially?
Do your organization use the social media? if yes, please share the experiences in terms of process, change management, expenses, impact on internal as well as external stake holders.

1-how this can be really useful to the political /public representative of other countries?
2-is basic deta available of literesy rate/use of social media for develped and developing countries?
3 any local media can play crucial role for elected representative-why to limit it to social media only?
4-has any direct relationship between use of social media and "public service"for any politiacl representative?
5-how many public representatives are agreeing or comfortable with such "relationship with public through social media?
6-what is your belief about a politician who represent people having live contact with people through social media but actually not performing best in eyes of public versus a public representative not in live contact through social media(but keeps in touch with public through 0ther ways) but a good representative in eyes of public? Is the theory of use of social media in public life is a demand of time or a demand and desire of public or a smart drive of consultants?

Re: The Real Problem With Toasters

Jed Sundwall — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:59:32 -0000

Thanks @Mark Birch ! It's good to know that people haven't stopped dreaming the impossible dream. It's worth noting that the toaster you mention is a premium item – about 3.5 times as expensive as Amazon's most popular toaster and about as much as a toaster oven.

We're not opposed to sophisticated engineering, but because we build software for humans, we try to take advantage of their judgement as much as possible. It helps us build a better – higher-value – product.

Re: The Real Problem With Toasters

Mark Birch — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:37:05 -0000

Interesting post and you certainly would be wise to not over-engineer solutions. One minor quibble is that there are really good toasters out there, here is one that was tested by America's Test Kitchen and one that I found worked perfectly every time:

Re: QR Codes: A Solution Looking for a Problem

Seth — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 03:01:44 -0000

Also, QR codes are ugly. I'm sure at Marketeer U, after you drink the Kool-Aid, they teach you guys that it'll "build brand awareness," but take it from me, it makes your (expensive) print ads look like something out of the weekly newsprint coupon flyer.

Re: QR Codes: A Solution Looking for a Problem

Seth — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 02:58:46 -0000

Are you out of your mind? No phone I've ever seen (and I've seen a few, Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows 7) has ever come with a QR code reader. Sounds like Mobile Commerce Daily is guilty of wishful thinking.

Re: Authentic Content

LindsayDayton — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:12:07 -0000

Hi Edwin,

The Old Spice ads I've seen are great, but I'm not sure I'd call them authentic content. It's totally possible they are doing that and I haven't seen it though. In general, this approach is very difficult for large brands. Partly because while brands can have a personality, they are rarely *actual* personalities.

For a big brand to practice authentic content, they'd have to let many different voices speak (highly unlikely given corporate control of most communication), and speak openly about their product (also unlikely, given the amount of unsavory chemicals/processes involved in most big-brand products).

I didn't say this in the post, but now that you've led me to think about it, authentic content is really only a strategy that works for smaller brands and organizations. I can see few exceptions (the Red Cross and similar organizations) to very big brands that would benefit from transparency.

Can you imagine photos of the machine that produces McDonald's fries actually selling more fries? Me neither.

Thanks for making me think more about this!

Edwin Tam — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:48:56 -0000

Nice post. Are there any big brands doing this? I can think of Old Spice, but the rest escape me.
