An Open Letter to the PRSSA Students of Ohio University

Dear Students, Thanks for giving me the chance to speek with you and geek out a bit at the PRSSA Social Media Summit.  You are an amazing crowd, and each of you posses the talent to drive change in your careers. Never forget this — YOU are the communicators of tomorrow. That’s important. YOU are responsible for discovering how our industry leverages will apply these new tools. You may even someday think up and build new tools of your own. Be patient … but always be hustling. It will be you who will lead us to the plateau of productivity for all platforms that enable disruptive trends to take hold. As future communicators, PR professionals and content creators, always make sure to be good stewards of the power you wield.  Left in the wrong hands, mass communication can also lead to great sorrow. I hope you will use this deck and the links below it to learn more about these trends and and tools, finding new and exciting applications of the technology. Do this for yourself and your personal brand, your eventual clients and in the communities in which you will someday live. Trust me when I tell you that putting the hours and sweat into staying ahead of the curve will serve you well. Good luck. God speed. And, thank you for you attention. @nateriggs 12 Disruptive Technology Trends Changing Communications If you’d like to see more presentations, visit my SlideShare profile.

My Top 8 Most Used Android Apps of 2011

I’ve been an Android for about two years now and am a self-admitted iOS convert.  AT&T really killed my taste for Apple’s mobile devices back in the days where we didn’t have a choice as to the mobile network provider. That’s changed now, but I never went back to iOS. Take that for what it’s worth as a lesson in customer service and brand advocacy. There’s literally millions of apps to choose from out there and I think people do tend to get a bit “app crazy” these days, always chasing after the latest and greatest to one up their geek friends. In stead of looking at the coolest apps I’ve seen (and rarely ever use), here’s a list of my top 8 apps of 2011. To make my list, I needed to use each of these apps at least a few times per week, if not at least once per day.  If you’re an Android user, give them a look. 1.  Expensify Get it at: Download Expensify Mobile Short description: Great little application that allows me to easily track all of my expenses for personal accounts as well as multiple business accounts. Likes: The app has been designed with a very intuitive interface. It’s fast, dependable and the photo to receipt feature includes scanning so you don’t have any manual data entry when you’re back at your laptop.  You an also capture business cards and track milage from the home screen. Dislikes: The app has a conveniently built in referral platform with incentives. While it’s a pretty brilliant viral marketing mechanism, overusing it might be seen as ‘spammy’ and annoy your new contacts. Careful with this one. Usage pattern: Multiple times daily. How it helps: Saves me countless hours of manual data entry that I would probably forget to do anyway. I believe that Expensify might [...]
