In my podcast about Latin America and social media, I touched on the question of broadband and mobile phone access being a factor in the increasing profile of Latin American countries in the social media space.
Unbeknownst to me, other outlets were talking about the increasing penetration of smart phones in Latin America.
According to Cellular News, there are over 500 million people in Latin America that have mobile phones. According to that same article, more than 91% of those phones use GSM and are on a 3G network.
There isn’t a hard …

Pete Thomas was the season 2 at home winner of the NBC TV show “The Biggest Loser.” I was honored with the opportunity to interview him since he and a lot of other alumni of the show are coming to Kyle for the Burn and Learn on Saturday February 20th and for a public morning workout on Friday February 19th.

Today’s marketing minute is not a podcast, but it was recorded at Podcamp in Pittsburgh late last year. This footage was provided by the organizers and I’m making it available here for your viewing pleasure.
The presentation is titled: How to put up a WordPress Blog in 10 minutes or less.

I’m not happy about how I look in the video, but it is what it is.

I stole this concept from a blogger in the ICLW group. Actually, I stole the entire post, but I like the concept and I told them that I was stealing it too, so does that count as not stealing?

My biggest fear, is that no one will comment, thereby stopping this little experiment dead in it’s tracks. I’d like to do the interview in a podcast rather than on a blog post, but I’ll leave that up to you.
