Minnov8 Gang Podcast

    by Steve Borsch

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson

No discussion of social media is complete without an emphasis on the phenomena known as Twitter (good overview it here), one that is showing no signs of abating and, in fact, is growing dramatically.

On this Gang podcast, we are pleased to have as our guests Rachel Stassen-Berger, the Capitol Bureau Reporter at the St. Paul Pioneer Press (LinkedIn profile), along with her colleague who invited her to participate in this show (so we all could gain from her insights), Julio Ojeda-Zapata, the paper’s consumer technology reporter (and a guy so completely in the game of technology and social media, that he’s written a book on Twitter) (LinkedIn profile). Most importantly, we discuss some innovative uses of Twitter by the Pioneer Press as well as some use-case examples of others leveraging this new communication channel.

Mentioned during this show:

+ Twitter mentions: Twitter mashups; Minnov8 account

+ Julio’s upcoming book, “Twitter Means Business: How Microblogging Can Help or Hurt Your Company“ 

+ Digsby; Nabbit (Minnov8 story and their Twitter account); ComicTwit; Yammer; OnePlace

+ The Twitter for Terrorists article we discussed

+ RACHEL ONLINE: In addition to the articles she pens for the Pioneer Press, here are just some of the areas in which she participates online: Political Animal blogPolAnimalMNVotes

+ JULIO ONLINE: Deeply involved in a variety of places online, here are a few: Twitter account; YourTech blog; TechTestDrive.
