At Davos last year, the lead technical officer for Microsoft offered remarks on how their business moving forward is focused on three screens: the mobile phone/ device, the computer screen, and the tv. As the technologies continue to evolve, it will be mobile and computer (adapted). Next year’s LCDs will primarily focus on broadband/ networking capability, media recording and sharing, and online integration with sites like hulu, youtube and the major broadcasting stations. This is the first massive step in the convergence of what is to come.

In terms of ‘app jumping’, no matter the device or OS, one of the best strategies is to keep your content/ data independent of the platform… That way your data can seamlessly evolve with the platforms and be used/ manipulated greatly as tech continues to rapidly evolve.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Without a doubt! Additionally, the conversations that are sparked can lead to synergistic relationships of shared experience, new thought/ innovation and possibly great professional friendships. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

Blogging can really continue to evolve the more regular you are about your posts. Because I tend to read a lot about our subject matter (social media and marketing), I find that the thinking process is always churning new thoughts. I’m much more apt to write an opinion/commentary post now than I was when I first started out. As a result, the style can become more conversational.

When I come across a book or a report that I’m captivated by, I feel I can reach out to authors and ask if they would be willing to be interviewed on our blog. I’ve had some great dialogue with authors, and also, people who run social media initiatives at their organizations, and others who are creating programs & applications.

Successful blogging encompasses going where your interests are, and finding the people to have conversations with. In my opinion, it personalzes the content, makes it that much more alive and relevant.

They want the same things that you do– respect and acknowledgement for a job well done.

They want the management to understand that the work environment is a two-way street– Millennials want to take as much as they want to give.

But isn’t this what we all want?

Here is my take– Tips on Managing the Millennials.
