In Mobile Social Networking, Local is all about Location, Venue, and Neighborhood.

My version of a Mobile Social Networking Starfish. You should have one too. Ask me what I can do for you!

Check out Robert Scoble on the Social Media Starfish.

For me hacking mobile social networking is creating Vignettes. From Wikipedia — “The term vignette generally means something small. Originally it meant “something that may be written on a vine-leaf.” I call it the Kudzu Strategy. Enjoy the Sacramento Pimento Limerick!

Over the past week I’ve been creating and revising sites in my online Mobile Social Networking infrastructure. Right now it looks like this:

UPDATE: Here it is as a Google Docs Spreadsheet.

I went down to Palo Alto a couple days ago to do a job interview for a Social Media, SEO, and IT Specialist position at a home care assistance company. The phone interview had gone well, but only dealt with generalities. I met with the CEO, Director of Operations, and Online Marketing Manager, who seemed nice enough and knowledgeable in their particular areas. Although they had success using Google AdWords, when I started talking about Social Media and SEO, they looked like not only was I talking a foreign language, but also they didn’t realize I was talking a language at all. Apparently they thought you could do Social Media and SEO without having an online presence, engaging in conversation, producing content, and asking people to take action. On the long drive home I realized I should be building my own business instead.

Today I reviewed my last six years of blog posts and videos. I was amazed at the volume of Attention, Intention, Emotion, and Effort in the posts. It was painful to go over them in compressed time, but I did rekindle my purpose to pursue the Big Ideas I’ve been exploring. So I want you to look forward to a new series of posts on Mobile Social Networking, and to not just plans for the future, but soon to take place Events.

It happened again. A restaurant we had videoed showed up in the Baxter Bulletin — Three vehicles collide in Gassville — and once again the video is still a first page Google result after three years.  We thought it might be all over for Letty’s after the tornado, but we were wrong!

This morning I saw this article in The Baxter Bulletin, Local pizzeria wins, places in competition at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Nima’s Pizza won first place in the 2010 International Pizza Challenge for traditional pizza in the Mid-American Region and second place for traditional pizza in the International Pizza Challenge.

We shot this video about 3 years ago and it is still on first page search results for Nima’s Pizza after all this time.

A video we produced a month ago has finally been released.

In the six months or so that we’ve had our 3GS iPhones, we have experimented a few times with unedited realtime video broadcasting by way of USTREAM; shot, cropped, and shared many near realtime videos by way of Twitter; and shot, edited, and distributed several not realtime videos through TubeMogul. Realtime is ideal for the moment, near real time is ideal for the event, and not real time is ideal for a longer story. But all three can be shot and viewed on a mobile device, and have a place in Mobile Media Marketing.

Last Thursday we were shooting a video for Julie Gallaher of Get on the Map while Darrell Smith of the Sacramento Bee was doing an article on Capsity Offices. You can see the Capsity Offices blog post here and the Sac Bee article here.
