		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8212; YOU are the communicators of tomorrow. That&#8217;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 &#8230; 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&#8217;d like to see more presentations, visit my SlideShare profile.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re a Hootsuite user, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. The gap becomes visible only after you&#8217;ve looked away for a short period of time. It stands for the conversation that&#8217;s already happend while you went about the offline behaviors, conversations and tasks that surround you in the real. Still, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Plus kept going while you were away. No one noticed you left, at least not in the short term. Update by update, the conversation between millions of people didn&#8217;t miss a beat. How To Mind the Gap So many times, we choose to ignore the gap. We come back to our phones, tablets and laptops, rejoining the conversation without the least bit of concern paid to the context we&#8217;ve lost in passing time of our absence. The size of the gap is determined by how long we&#8217;ve looked away. Bigger gaps mean that more has been lost. So, how then exactly do we mind the gap? The answer is simple: When you go back to Hootsuite or your tool of choice, make sure to Flick up instead of down. There&#8217;s a lot of value in the content found in the gap&#8230; &#160; nateriggsI advise mid-sized &#38; large organizations on how to adopt and use social media to market through organizational culture and better serve their clients.

		<description><![CDATA[In a few months, there will be a ton of young talent hitting the market after recieveing their sheepskins from various colleges and universities. The timing is the best it&#8217;s been in years, too.  According to data from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (as displayed by our friends at Google), US unemployment rates have dropped from 10.9% in 2009 to 8.6% as of Novermber 2011.  This is welcome news. What&#8217;s even more good news? According to employers responding to a Job Outlook Survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), employers expect to hire approximately 9.5 percent more graduates from the Class of 2012 as they hired from the Class of 2011. It seems that 2012 will be a year where lots of companies are looking to hire young and fresh talent to staff up and change their aging organizations.  Couple that with an influx of government support allocated to increase the number of startup companies and the rise of the enabling social business culture, and you can see that the outlook for students hitting the job market is the best it&#8217;s been in a few years. Keep Your Gloves On Don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to be easy, kids. With all this opportunity (and it is indeed significant), also will come some of the most fierce competition the job market has seen since the economic fall out.  I say that now, in that you can only have competition when there is actually something to compete for, and until this year, staffing budgets and additional headcount weren&#8217;t a focus of C-level discussions. To graduate with that career promising first job, here&#8217;s my very best advice &#8212; start looking right now! The Time is Now Look, if you&#8217;re a senior, you&#8217;re busy. I get that and we&#8217;ve all been there.  You&#8217;re also probably burnt out and would much rather enjoy your last quarter of the college life [...]]]></description>
