A shift in talkingDigital.org

weapons of mass communication

Over the past five years (maybe more) talkingDigital has changed directions many times. Most recently the site was used as the master feed for a number of podcasts. We will continue to produce podcasts and post the latest episodes here, but the content of the site will be soon be expanding.

talkingDigital is the home base for a variety of ongoing projects and experiments conducted by Adam Cochran, a professor of Mass Communication at Colorado Mesa University. For the past year and a half, Cochran has been working on an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Memphis. With the degree work completed, he now has time to work on expanding the content on talkingDigital. We hope to add more podcasts, but also post on topics that are important to the talkingDigital team.

Our passions at talkingDigital are centered around the role of technology in art, education, and industrial progress. We love politics,

Lumigrate Podcast 006 – All About Facebook, part 2

Play

This is the second half of our discussion about Facebook with a panel of guests from the Grand Junction Business Incubator Center.

In this episode, we discuss some of the more advanced concepts of Facebook and we break them down and try to explain them on a basic level. We discuss Facebook pages, who should not use Facebook, how to handle negative feedback and much more.

As a bonus, here’s a link to some of the material we edited out of the interview. Some of it was deep conversation about Facebook that could not, by any stretch of the imagination, be defined as basic. Other segments were simply goofy bloopers.

For more discussion about how to get the most out of social media, visit Lumigrate.com.
