We have a new episode of our award deserving podcast ready for you to listen to and enjoy! This episode Greg and Dave are joined by Mark Basnight of The Crisis Communications Network. Here us discuss:

  • The Social Media 4 Responders Conference
    • September 13 and 14 2010 at the Hilton Charlotte University Place in Charlotte, North Carolina
    • Specifically created with the Responder in mind
    • Law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire service, emergency management, public health, disaster & crisis aid, and public utilities can all benefit from a Social Media presence
    • Featuring hands on workshops designed to jump start a Social Media Presence
    • Traditional conferences expect you to learn by listening, SM4Responders will help you to learn by doing
  • The AT&T announcement that they were ending the $30 a month unlimited iPad data plan is calling into question the iPad‘s ability to remain dominant in the newly rejuvenated tablet market as numerous Android OS and Windows Mobile tablets are on the verge of being announced
  • Bambuser is an application that lets you stream live video from your smart phone
  • Social media efforts for the Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill include a hub site, Twitter account, and a Facebook page
    • If you ever needed an example as to why you need to create a Social Media presence before the crisis, the unofficial, unauthorized, and hugely popular BPGlobalPR Twitter account should be evidence enough

Thanks for the info, gang. Good to hear Mark on the show again. His new venture should be a great resource for public safety communicators. I regret that I cannot attend the event in Charlotte, but I will definitely look for upcoming opportunities.

Also, many thanks for the link/info for Bambuser. This is one that I'd not seen, yet. I typically move ahead of the curve on these mobile and social tools, but this one surprised me.
