Bloggers will smile when they see this – after all, it’s a situation faced almost every day. But the most interesting thing, for me at least, is the neat video creation tool used to create the video – xtranormal. If you can type you can make a movie. Nice.

They say you should never do live TV with children or animals – nor bankers it would seem. In this segment from Channel 7’s Sydney studio, there seems to be a little more action in the background than there is in the finance report.
In case you haven’t seen this web series, another fine episode from Scotty Iseri taking questions about Australia.
Often when a telemarketer rings my house, just around dinner time, I know what to expect. I also know that by revealing that I work in marketing that I will be disqualified from the survey. But for those of you who like to push the envelope, you may want to print out and keep a copy of this neat telemarketer counter script by your phone. Then, you can put a little chaos of your own into action. Enjoy!
Over the last two days there has been some great discussion around the impact that social media is having on journalism. I have been listening in to the #Media140 conference via a live Ustream feed – and in this part of the proceedings facilitated by Mark Jones, we get some interesting perspectives from Renai LeMay, Wolf Cocklin, Latika Bourke, Andrew Davies and Dave Earley. Some of the opinions and approaches arising from the various panels (more short presentations than discussions) have been fascinating. They are well worth a listen – and may just stimulate your own thinking this Friday!
Do I need to explain this unusual job website? Do I really? Via Markus Hafner.
We’ve all been there … the boss calls you to a meeting to discuss social media. It’s all about “twitter” and “facebook” … it’s about “conversation”. What should you do? How do you handle it?
Maybe you could take a leaf out of Scotty Iseri’s book and play a little personal social media bingo. Oh, and if you think that’s funny, imagine what it’s like when Scotty comes to an Aussie office job near you. Yes. It’s happening right before your very eyes.
It has been a veritable smorgasboard of embarrassment this week. How to choose – Cheesybite (what’s to bet someone, somewhere was voting for Cheesybyte!) or the Hey Hey It’s Saturday blackface incident? Both caused a storm!
So I chose Hey, Hey – only because it’s best of both worlds. This segment sponsored by Kraft (Philadelphia cream cheese). Check out Harry Connick Jnr’s response 5 minutes in. It’d be nice to think we have moved beyond this type of humour. Really it would.
A few weeks back a discussion around this video erupted. Names were called, reputations questioned and definitions came under fire. Ron Shevlin calls it “mind boggling stupid”. Anna O’Brien calls it “(mess x epicfail)/lack-o-judgment”. Me? I don’t believe in influence at all. I call it a cup of chaos.
What could be more chaotic this week than an interruption from Kanye West? Within hours of KanyeGate, memes began to appear and spread. In this one, Kanye disses my website. Get your own by adding your website address to this URL like this –> http://kanyelicio.us/https://servantofchaos.com
