The Most Important New Media News in a Matter of Minutes
This post starts a new feature on my blog called New Media Digests. These will be regular posts (probably 3-4 times per month) that quickly summarize the most important links, headlines and resources related to the new media world to keep you up to date in a matter of a few minutes.
I’m constantly monitoring a number of blogs, news feeds and other internet chatter to keep up on our lightning fast industry. Many times a week I find myself thinking, “I should blog about that.” The problem is that I don’t have time to write a complete post about every little thing I discover nor do you have time to read all those posts. I could just do one of the del.icio.us bookmark auto-posts, but that doesn’t tell you why I thought it was important or why I wanted to share it with you.
The goals of this blog is to help you stay up on the news that matters most and affects you as a social and new media publisher and marketer. The New Media Digests posts will help fulfill my desire to share these small discoveries and your need to stay up to date on a potentially overwhelming amount of information.
Each New Media Digest post will:
- Deliver the latest and most important news and resources related to new and social media publishing, monetization and marketing
- Allow you to consume the info in a matter of a few minutes
- Tell you briefly why it is important and suggest what you should do about it
- Give you a link where you can find out more if you’d like
The format may change, but for now each post will consist of up to about five entries that look something like this.
The First Line Will Be a Headline that Summarizes the Story (this will also be a link to the resource or story)
Then there will be one or two sentences that tell you: 1) why it’s important and 2) what you should do about it.
The first New Media Digest will follow this introductory post. I’ve created a category for these posts for easy access.
How can I make these digest posts useful for you to help you reach more people, make more money and market more effectively?
