I also love starting new things. Just… finishing them can be a challenge for me. At this time of year we have our minds set on a fresh start, a new beginning, or a clean slate from last year and have resolved to make changes that we belive are good for us. But – what choices hold us back from achieving these things?</p> <p>There are things I know that will greatly enhance my life, yet I fail to do them. Here are a few:</p> <ol> <li><em>Upon waking, taking my morning vitamins and supplements.</em> When I do, I really do think more clearly and have more energy. I notice this effect within just 30 minutes. I don’t bother taking any synthetic imitation junk, but I really find value in the <a href="http://mymannapages.com/completelyalive" title="Mannatech Supplements" target="_blank">ones I use</a>. Yet – I forget and haven’t made it a priority enough. I end up in a fog mentally and find that I’m just not as productive or creative when I skip out on this valuable action.</li> <li><em>Music, reading, and meditation can fuel my spirit</em>, yet I skip out on this and stumble around the internet instead on a quest to know all the latest breaking news and help others figure out what to do with it. Don’t get me wrong, I love helping people keep up with technology and get adjusted to it so that it improves their business and life. But – these things are temporary. My spirit is eternal and yearns for more.</li> <li><em>Creative releases</em> can be playing my violin or mandolin, learning guitar, drawing, crafts, knitting, or graphic design. Yet – I stay stuck in the rut of checking in on social media. I don’t make time for these activities.</li> <li><em>Exercise</em> needs to be more than sitting at a desk typing or pacing the halls while waiting on my cup of coffee to reheat. I need to get up and dance, stretch out in some yoga, and break a sweat. I feel better afterwards, I sleep better, and I have a better self-image. Yet – there I sit.</li> </ol> <p>So – why am I stuck? Well – I hold myself back. I know the right choices to make, and feel good about making them or carrying them out. It is mostly about setting a pattern for success. Success comes by pursuing it, not avoiding the things that we fear. My fears have held me back. I’m taking deliberate action to overturn that. I could just do one massive overhaul, and just may in some areas, or I could take small steps daily that keep me going – like taking my vitamins this morning. As a result – I had an idea to write, a series of blog posts in the works, and some great time digging into some inspiring reading today.</p> <p>Tomorrow’s choice: start with some <a href="http://open.spotify.com/user/courtneyengle/playlist/1NlMxs7uHBFc9RqRNaJTmx" title="Spotify playlist - Worship" target="_blank">music</a> first thing upon waking and <a href="http://youversion.com" title="Youversion Bible" target="_blank">read</a> what fuels me. That isn’t social media. I’ll check back in to let you know how that goes.</p> <p>What about you? What’s held you back? What choices do you know you should make and even want to make them but just… havent?</p> <p> </p> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"></div> </div><hr /><p><b>Want to connect further?</b> Find me online: <a href="https://plus.google.com/106869490400611014916/about" target="_blank">Google Profile</a> &<a href="http://www.retaggr.com/page/CourtneyEngle" title="Retaggr Accounts" target="_blank"> Online Activity<br /> </a><b>Want Social Media, Local SEO, and Mobile Marketing training?</b> <a href="http://socialmobilelocalmarketingpros.com/?utm_source=web&utm_medium=court&utm_campaign=courtsig" title="Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP" target="_blank">Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP<br /> </a> <b>Want WordPress training?</b> <a href="http://gfydmember.com" title="GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream" target="_blank">GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream<br /> </a><b>Have a tech question?</b> (hardware, software, & web) <a href="http://formspring.me/courtneyengle" title="Ask Courtney a question" target="_blank">Ask Courtney for help<br /> </a><b>Need official work done?</b> <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/contact" title="Contact Courtney" target="_blank">Contact Courtney</a><br /> </p> <div class="linkwithin_hook"><div><div class="linkwithin_outer" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;"> <div class="linkwithin_inner" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <div class="linkwithin_text" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 20px 0 5px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold;"> You might also like: </div> <div class="linkwithin_posts" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <a name="linkwithin_link_0" href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/03/15/streamlining-social-media-local-seo-and-mobile-marketing-episode-17/" style="display: block; float: left; border-right: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: none; margin: 0; padding: 6px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;"> <div style="height: 165px; margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <p> </p><div class="linkwithin_title linkwithin_title_0" style=""> Streamlining Social Media, Local SEO, and Mobile Marketing: ... </div> </div> </a> <a name="linkwithin_link_0" href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/08/08/linkedin-profiles-have-been-updated/" style="display: block; float: left; border-right: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: none; margin: 0; padding: 6px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;"> <div style="height: 165px; margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <p> </p><div class="linkwithin_title linkwithin_title_0" style=""> LinkedIn Profiles have been updated </div> </div> </a> <a name="linkwithin_link_0" href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/08/09/how-to-tweak-your-google-profile-hovercard/" style="display: block; float: left; border-right: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: none; margin: 0; padding: 6px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;"> <div style="height: 165px; margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <p> </p><div class="linkwithin_title linkwithin_title_0" style=""> How to tweak your Google+ Profile Hovercard </div> </div> </a> <a name="linkwithin_link_0" href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/06/08/how-to-unsubscribe-from-facebook-messages/" style="display: block; float: left; border-bottom: none; margin: 0; padding: 6px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;"> <div style="height: 165px; margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0;"> <p> </p><div class="linkwithin_title linkwithin_title_0" style=""> How to unsubscribe from Facebook messages </div> </div> </a> </div> <div style="clear: both; margin: 0 0 20px 0; border: 0; padding: 5px 6px 0 0; text-align: right;"> <a href="http://www.linkwithin.com/learn?ref=widget" target="_blank" style="font: 10px arial; color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: none;"><b>LinkWithin</b></a> </div> </div> </div></div></div> <div class="related"> <ul /><p>Related posts:</p><ol> <li><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/2010/06/22/backupify-social-media-backup/" title="Back up your social media presence with @Backupify" rel="bookmark">Back up your social media presence with @Backupify <abbr title="8.500000 is the YARPP match score between the current entry and this related entry.

lists</h1> <p>Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:25:00 -0700</p> <p> <div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote class="posterous_long_quote"><div class="post"><div class="entry"><p>Are you as confused by <a href="http://facebook.com" title="Facebook" target="_blank">Facebook</a> as me? I’m not entirely sure on their usability and strategy for the recent changes, but I thought it’d be a good time to break down some of the changes.</p> <h2>Groups</h2> <p>Before fan pages, Facebook had personal profiles and later introduced groups. Groups were not to be on behalf of a business, but rather a few peoples coming together to discuss specific topics. Initially, people had to join a group. Of course, these could be public or private. The best features of this allowed the group to show off who the administrators or any other title you wanted to add for staff of the group. Additionally, email from the group landed in the inbox.</p> <p>Then, Facebook changed how <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups" title="Facebook Groups" target="_blank">groups</a> operate. Groups can be created by anyone, and they can add anyone to the group. No longer did people have to join a group, but they were added by someone else, without any permission granted, and notified of all sorts of things. Group messages don’t reach inbox, but now a massive group chat is a part of the experience. Messages can automatically pop up as an instant message. There is no identification of staff members.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1989" rel="attachment wp-att-1989"></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1991" rel="attachment wp-att-1991"></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>If you are an administrator of an old style group, you’ll need to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=18966" title="Facebook groups conversion FAQ" target="_blank">convert it over soon</a> to the new groups format, or risk it being archived.</p> <p>Once you’ve joined or been added to groups, you have the ability to silence those pesky notifications.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1992" rel="attachment wp-att-1992"></a></p> <p> </p> <h2>Friend Lists</h2> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1995" rel="attachment wp-att-1995"></a>Friends have been the focal point of Facebook from the beginning. In the earlier days, Facebook had a game of guessing which friend matched the information. Then came the ability for people to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/?sk=all" title="Facebook Friend Lists" target="_blank">organize their friends into lists</a>. According to Mark Zuckerberg, few people took advantage of this feature and <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/26/facebook-friend-lists/" title="Zuckerburg: Friend lists" target="_blank">didn’t enjoy the experience</a>. Oddly – this is what is helping Google+ take off.</p> <p>I am one of the few users that love lists and used them often. I miss having them as a shortcut on the left side of my all news main page. I still switch to view the updates based upon the lists I’ve organized.</p> <p>To draw some attention to lists, Facebook then rolled out <a href="http://www.facebook.com/editprofile.php?sk=relationships" title="Facebook featured lists" target="_blank">featured lists.</a> It is a way for users to show off on their personal profile some special people to them. That list may be be seen publicly, and notify users that are added to the list. I use my featured lists to show off those I look up to in the industry, as well as members in an online WordPress and Social Mobile Local Marketing training program I facilitate.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1993" rel="attachment wp-att-1993"></a></p> <p>Most recently, Facebook announced new list suggestions. I’m still unable to access this, but am hopeful that the lists bookmarks will make their way back to the left side of my main page. I’ve curated my lists long before Twitter enabled the feature. I’ll stick to the lists I’ve made, but want others to do likewise and access or interact based upon this. To aim for some support, please see Facebook’s <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ListsTeam" title="Facebook Lists Team" target="_blank">Friend List page</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1996" rel="attachment wp-att-1996"></a></p> <h2>Subscribers</h2> <p>If you’d rather not be friends with people but want to allow them to view anything you post publicly, you can enable <a href="http://www.facebook.com/about/subscribe" title="Subscribers" target="_blank">Subscriptions</a>. The only content subscribers can see is what is posted publicly. I’d image too that this information may start showing up as results in search engines, rather than Facebook being still a walled garden.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1997" rel="attachment wp-att-1997"></a></p> <p>Also see your <a href="http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy " title="Privacy" target="_blank">privacy</a> to control the older things you want to keep private if you enable the subscribe feature. “Limit the Audience for Past Posts”</p> <p>When subscribing to other’s pages, you can choose what you want to see from them. I usually disable seeing games. Also, you cannot subscribe to someone that you are friends with.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1998" rel="attachment wp-att-1998"></a></p> <h2>Fan Pages</h2> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1999" rel="attachment wp-att-1999"></a>Facebook Fan Pages have long been the method to use for a brand. The addition of a custom tab is <a href="http://www.allfacebook.com/how-we-got-to-40310-facebook-fans-in-4-days-2010-06" title="Fan Page conversion rate" target="_blank">proven</a> to increase people opting to like your page, join your newsletter, or in some other way become part of the communityyou are creating. However, many public figures are averse to having a “Fan Page” so Facebook just began referring to them as “<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages" title="Facebook Pages" target="_blank">Pages</a>” and the people who follow them “People Who Like”.</p> <p>So now that a personal profile can have subscribers that exceed the 5,000 friend limit, what is the significance of a Fan Page for a public figure? I still believe Pages are needed for individuals that want to build their newsletter, text messaging, or other subscription lists off site. In addition, personal profiles don’t provide data on who is viewing your profile and any engagement on it.</p> <p>Which should you choose if your brand is you as a person? <a href="http://www.facebook.com/publicfigures?sk=app_271800242838919" title="Facebook for Public Figures" target="_blank">Facebook has a page</a> to help answer that.</p> <p>If you choose to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?migrate" title="Facebook Migrate Personal Profile to Page" target="_blank">migrate</a>, at this time it only works to go from personal profile –> page, not the other way around. This can’t be undone, so think through this carefully.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>Facebook is becoming more and more complicated. The legacy architecture is lacking, and users have too many options. Without proper information, they may not know what the best option is for them.</p> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/"

What is popular today may soon be a thing of the past, and what currently exists may take it’s place.</p> <p>In the early days of social networking everyone I knew was in Myspace but I opted to join <a href="http://facebook.com/courtneyengle" title="Facebook" target="_blank">Facebook</a> in the private days. I even reopened my <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.008,-76.448&spn=0.01,0.01&q=41.008,-76.448 (Bloomsburg%20University%20of%20Pennsylvania)&t=h" class="zem_slink" title="Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania" rel="geolocation">Bloomsburg University</a> alumni email account to gain early access, as only college students were allowed in.</p> <p>Among the public education circles, Furl was the best social bookmarking service. They were acquired by <a href="http://diigo.com" title="Diigo" target="_blank">Diigo</a>. For some time, internet marketers did all they could to be bookmarked on all the platforms. Some services helped syndicate to all bookmarking services.</p> <p>When <a href="http://digg.com" title="Digg" target="_blank">Digg</a> launched, I was elated to have made page 1 of stories dugg. Now – the site has been overhauled several times and can’t even find the <a href="http://digg.com/courane01" title="Digg Submission">1 story</a> it shows made the front page. The cool kids have moved over to <a href="http://reddit.com/" class="zem_slink" title="Reddit" rel="homepage">Reddit</a>, which has been around since 2005 like Digg. A few interesting ways of using Reddit have cropped up, most notably the <a href="http://technewstoday.reddit.com" title="Tech News Today Reddit" target="_blank">show submissions</a> for a daily podcast <a href="http://www.twit.tv" class="zem_slink" title="TWiT.tv" rel="homepage">Tech News Today</a>.</p> <p>Do you remember when Youtube only allowed 10 minute increments? My account has allowed unlimited time length for over a year now, but before then I posted long clips to Viddler. Among them is a great video by <a href="http://www.christopherspenn.com" class="zem_slink" title="Christopher S. Penn" rel="homepage">Christopher S. Penn</a> from <a href="http://podcampphilly.com" title="Podcamp Philly" target="_blank">PodCamp Philly </a>2009. He’s presenting about<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/courane01/videos/11/" title="Christopher Penn Social Media ROI" target="_blank"> Social Media ROI</a> in the clip, and is recorded saying that <a href="http://stumbleupon.com" title="StumbleUpon" target="_blank">StumbleUpon’s</a> traffic is like people stumbling around the web drunk. Now, StumbleUpon has gained considerable traction since launching the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stumbleupon!/id386244833?mt=8" title="StumbleUpon iPhone" target="_blank">iPhone</a> and <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stumbleupon!/id386244833?mt=8" title="StumbleUpon iPad" target="_blank">iPad</a> app.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1978" rel="attachment wp-att-1978"></a></p> <p>So – what can you do about all the changes? I recommend claiming your accounts on every platform imaginable. Even if you have no plans to use it now, fill out the basic information and claim your username to protect your brand. Drive traffic to those accounts one when you actively participate. If you need further help in claiming these accounts, <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/contact/" title="Contact" target="_blank">contact me.</a></p> <p>In the meantime, I recommend Chris’s post on focusing on <a href="http://www.christopherspenn.com/2011/08/do-you-have-a-social-network-home-base/" title="Social Media Home Base" target="_blank">one social media home base</a>, in addition to your own website as the foundation of your online presence.

As a result, many homes, businesses, and roads were damaged. Among those hit hardest is Hershey Park and their zoo attraction, <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.292911,-76.65475&spn=0.01,0.01&q=40.292911,-76.65475 (Hersheypark)&t=h" class="zem_slink" title="Hersheypark" rel="geolocation">ZooAmerica</a>. Too often I see examples of <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/08/24/public-opinion-newspaper-paywall-and-customer-service-what-not-to-do/" title="Public Opinion, Newspaper Paywall, and Customer Service – What Not To Do">what not to do in social media</a>, but in this storm, I found one of the best examples of what to do.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1970" rel="attachment wp-att-1970"></a>The ground was already soggy from the many inches of rain earlier that week, and as Lee moved in Hershey experienced a flash flood. Often warnings for these are posted, but rarely do people see this actually happen to this degree.</p> <p>ZooAmerica enacted the animal evacuation policy. As the animals were being gathered and relocated, the unthinkable happened. Two bison were caught in the flash flood. Within minutes, the water levels rose from inches to feet. By this time, the waters were higher than height of the staff, and sadly one of the bison drowned. The staff opted to euthanize the second rather than subject it to drowning as well. Obviously the community was shocked and dismayed at the choice. Many people posted quickly to the Hershey Park fan page about the outrage for not relocating the bison sooner. Again, we’re reminded that the evacuations were nearly complete by this point, and this was a flash flood.</p> <p>What struck me though as a great practice in social media use was how the staff at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hershey-Park/94124563974?sk=wall&filter=2" title="Hershey Park Facebook Fan Page" target="_blank">Hershey</a> continued engaging their community. Not only with a thorough explanation of what led to the choices, but also ongoing updates about the entire facility. Rather than lashing back at outraged fans, they shared professionally and with clear sadness over the situation.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1971" rel="attachment wp-att-1971"></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>In the days that followed, ongoing updates about the well-being of the animals and the status of the park reopening were shared.</p> <p>It is a breath of fresh air to compliment how social media was used. Hershey did a numer of things right, but here are the ones that stood out most to me:</p> <ol> <li>Proactively shared what was happening</li> <li>Responded appropriately with fans</li> <li>Shared the progress of flood clean-up</li> <li>Reassured the public of park safety and animals readjusting once returned</li> </ol> <div>It does seem that this was a very difficult and sad situation to endure, but the outcome reflects the family atmosphere that <a href="http://www.hersheys.com" class="zem_slink" title="Milton S. Hershey" rel="homepage">Milton Hershey</a> would be proud of. It looks as though the park will reopen for all special events, and once all rides are ensured safe again the public will be allowed in.</div> <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles</h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/09/deaths_of_zooamericas_bison_st.html">Deaths of ZooAmerica’s bison stir ‘passionate, concerned’ reactions</a> (pennlive.com)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/09/zooamerica_offers_new_informat.html">ZooAmerica offers new information on bison deaths</a> (pennlive.com)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/09/2_zooamerica_bison_drowning_in.html">2 drowning ZooAmerica bison euthanized in Hershey</a> (pennlive.com)</li> </ul> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/" class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"></a></div> <hr /><p><b>Want to connect further?</b> Find me online: <a href="https://plus.google.com/106869490400611014916/about" target="_blank">Google Profile</a> &<a href="http://www.retaggr.com/page/CourtneyEngle" title="Retaggr Accounts" target="_blank"> Online Activity<br /> </a><b>Want Social Media, Local SEO, and Mobile Marketing training?</b> <a href="http://socialmobilelocalmarketingpros.com/?utm_source=web&utm_medium=court&utm_campaign=courtsig" title="Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP" target="_blank">Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP<br /> </a> <b>Want WordPress training?</b> <a href="http://gfydmember.com" title="GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream" target="_blank">GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream<br /> </a><b>Have a tech question?</b> (hardware, software, & web) <a href="http://formspring.me/courtneyengle" title="Ask Courtney a question" target="_blank">Ask Courtney for help<br /> </a><b>Need official work done?</b> <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/contact" title="Contact Courtney" target="_blank">Contact Courtney</a></p></blockquote><div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/09/13/hershey-park-zooamerica-social-media-done-right/">courtneyengle.com</a></div> <p></p></div> </p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.posterous.com/hershey-park-zooamerica-social-media-done-rig">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://courtneyengle.posterous.com/hershey-park-zooamerica-social-media-done-rig#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:YwkR-u9nhCs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:lDq76RMptA4"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:I9og5sOYxJI"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=yzxE27TkFcE:oLFoT0DU4So:bcOpcFrp8Mo"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Public Opinion, Newspaper Paywall, and what not to do in Customer Service</h1> <p>Thu, 25 Aug 2011 07:28:00 -0700</p> <p> <div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote class="posterous_long_quote"><p>Just a day after the east coast earthquake and a few days before Hurricane Irene lands, I was highly interested today in reading local news coverage. I turned to my go-to local news service, the <a href="http://publicopiniononline.com" title="Public Opinion">Public Opinion</a> of Chambersburg. I was shocked to find they had switched to a paywall approach, as no notice was given. When the <a href="http://www.newyorktimes.com" class="zem_slink" title="New York Times" rel="homepage">New York Times</a> made the switch, a letter from the editor was posted explaining the changes<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/28/opinion/l28times.html" title="NY Times Paywall" target="_blank">. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/28/opinion/l28times.html">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/28/opinion/l28times.html</a></a>. In this instance, the Public Opinion has not communicated with their readers about the upcoming changes. The change took effect in the surge of interest about the earthquake and hurricane. I can’t help but wonder if they took advantage of natural disasters to gain the momentum for this unannounced change.</p> <p>I don’t believe this funding method has been tested long enough to decide if it’s a beneficial strategy. Just a month after the NY Times change, the verdict on it’s effectiveness was still unclear. I haven’t found any more current information on the matter than this: <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/04/11/new-york-times-paywall-stats/" title="Mashable - New York Times Paywall Stats" target="_blank">http://mashable.com/2011/04/11/new-york-times-paywall-stats/</a>. So – is this method of funding the local news going to pay for the expense? I’m not sure that it will.</p> <p>Rather than a paywall approach, I’d prefer they improve their other means of revenue. Television and radio have existed for free for the public. Even with the cable, satellite, or internet based stations, there is still an interest in the public access media that cover the costs without charging consumers. The reporters and administrative staff do need to be compensated well for their work. I just don’t think the paywall model will save the revenue.</p> <h2>Customer Service – What Not To Do:</h2> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/publicopinionnews/" title="Public Opinion Fan Page" target="_blank">The Public Opinion has a rather active fan page</a>. I’ve watched the community interaction increase considerably on the page as they’ve made all comments on their site Facebook comments.</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/streamlining/posts/10150278543769370" title="Public Opinion paywall" target="_blank">To express my displeasure</a> of the unannounced changes, I took to <a href="http://facebook.com/streamlining" title="Courtney Engle Fan Page" target="_blank">my own fan page.</a> I did this as any connections made I prefer go through my business brand, not to my personal account. Rather than reaching out to me or posting any announcement changes on their site and fan page, they <a href="http://www.facebook.com/publicopinionnews/posts/238628599514313" title="Public Opinion poor customer service" target="_blank">directly targeted me in their reply</a>.</p> <blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote"><p>“Courtney, you’re going to see more and more news organizations charging a minimal fee for online news. Others in our area are already doing it or plan to. Costs of online publication are increasing, as online users demand more. We have to adapt to the changing economic realities.</p> <p>Remember when TV used to be “free?” That was nice but is not possible today as the demands of TV viewers and costs of programming have increased exponentially.”</p></blockquote> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/publicopinionnews/posts/238628599514313" title="Public Opinion poor customer service" target="_blank"></a></p> <p>While I can understand the need for alternate funding beyond the subscription service, I’m happy to report that I do not subscribe for tv or radio. I watch television via <a href="http://hulu.com" class="zem_slink" title="hulu" rel="homepage">Hulu</a> for free. I only pay a subscription to <a href="http://comcast.com" class="zem_slink" title="Comcast" rel="homepage">Comcast</a> for cable internet and <a href="http://www.netflix.com/" class="zem_slink" title="Netflix" rel="homepage">Netflix</a> for movies. I also purchase the Sunday papers for coupons, but know that I can print those from the companies supplying the circulars.</p> <p>What become more snarky and unprofessional though followed the replies of several others.</p> <blockquote><p>Coffee should be free. Dang that greedy Starbucks for charging just because McDonalds is charging…trying to follow the logic here.</p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.com/?attachment_id=1940" rel="attachment wp-att-1940"></a></p></blockquote> <p>The logic to this is baffling. It seems fueled as a reply to the commenters, but this is still a representative of the news agency. While Facebook may be informal, the public relations representatives still have basic goals to build community engagement and foster customer relations. What implications does the Public Opinion’s snarky reply have on their relation to the local Starbucks? Is the joke understood?</p> <h2>A better option:</h2> <p>From the start, the Public Opinion should have announced to their online community in particular that changes were coming. Additionally, creating membership could work. Offer readers something to entice them to buy. Give them access to exclusive content – audio or video coverage or special interviews, access to archived content, or even access to breaking news and push the rest of the readers to only view day old content. Create more in value than you get in payment.</p> <ol> <li>Communicate with the community.</li> <li>Gain support for the changes</li> <li>Interact with respect for the current and potential customers</li> </ol> <h2>A few thoughts on customer service from the book – <a href="http://gogiver.com" title="The Go Giver" target="_blank">The Go-Giver</a> by<a href="http://burg.com" title="Bob Burg" target="_blank"> Bob Burg:</a></h2> <div> <ul> <li>“Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.” <a href="https://kindle.amazon.com/post/186GPXO3R6ESQ" title="Go giver quote" target="_blank">Kindle</a></li> <li>“Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in” <a href="https://kindle.amazon.com/post/37E0R5KIBGTNP" title="The Go Giver quote" target="_blank">Kindle</a></li> <li>“Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” <a href="https://kindle.amazon.com/post/1GMTHP12HQYF" title="Go Giver Quote" target="_blank">Kindle</a></li> </ul> </div> <div>I don’t believe that the Public Opinion has posted these updates with the intention to serve people. It feels as if they were rather defensive about the changes. I also don’t believe they are giving value now to the community they’ve created online, but rather much more overtly putting their own needs first.</div> <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles</h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://newspaperdeathwatch.com/paywall-free-for-all/">Paywall Free-for-All</a> (newspaperdeathwatch.com)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/on-porous-paywalls-2011-8">On Porous Paywalls</a> (businessinsider.com)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1671597/times-paywall-readership-subscriptions-circulation?partner=rss">U.K. Times Web Site Paywall Kills Two Thirds of Visitor Traffic</a> (fastcompany.com)</li> </ul> <p></p> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/" class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"></a></div><p></p> <hr /><p><b>Want to connect further?</b> Find me online: <a href="https://plus.google.com/106869490400611014916/about" target="_blank">Google Profile</a> &<a href="http://www.retaggr.com/page/CourtneyEngle" title="Retaggr Accounts" target="_blank"> Online Activity<br /> </a><b>Want Social Media, Local SEO, and Mobile Marketing training?</b> <a href="http://socialmobilelocalmarketingpros.com/?utm_source=web&utm_medium=court&utm_campaign=courtsig" title="Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP" target="_blank">Social Mobile Local Marketing Pros - SMLMP<br /> </a> <b>Want WordPress training?</b> <a href="http://gfydmember.com" title="GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream" target="_blank">GFYD Member - Go For Your Dream<br /> </a><b>Have a tech question?</b> (hardware, software, & web) <a href="http://formspring.me/courtneyengle" title="Ask Courtney a question" target="_blank">Ask Courtney for help<br /> </a><b>Need official work done?</b> <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/contact" title="Contact Courtney" target="_blank">Contact Courtney</a></p></blockquote> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://courtneyengle.com/2011/08/24/public-opinion-newspaper-paywall-and-customer-service-what-not-to-do/">courtneyengle.com</a></div> <p></p></div> </p> <p><a href="http://courtneyengle.posterous.com/public-opinion-newspaper-paywall-and-what-not">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://courtneyengle.posterous.com/public-opinion-newspaper-paywall-and-what-not#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:YwkR-u9nhCs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:lDq76RMptA4"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:I9og5sOYxJI"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/posterous/sbXl?a=9jFV76k0Hec:r8Uk9ebpqsU:bcOpcFrp8Mo"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>How to tweak your Google Plus Hovercard : Courtney Engle – Helping Business Owners Unlock Hidden Profits by Streamlining Social Media, Local SEO, and Mobile Marketing – Chambersburg, PA</h1> <p>Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:30:00 -0700</p> <p> <div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote class="posterous_long_quote"><div class="post"><div class="entry"><p><a href="http://plus.google.com" title="Google Plus" target="_blank">Google Plus</a>, like Facebook, shows hovercards as a snapshot of the user’s information.
