I had the pleasure of appearing yesterday on
Yakabod’s blog radio talk show. Yakabod is a collaboration platform that I have
covered before (see Yakabod
Provides Robust Knowledge Management with a Social Side).
In this session I discussed the impact of media on cognition and
communication. This was an area I
looked at in my academic research years and the concepts still influence how I
look at the new social media.
Here is a link to a recording of the Yakabod show. Examples I discussed include MIT’s Sloan’s School and the US Military All Partners Access Network. The session lasts 15 minutes. I hope you find it useful.
Here is the summary that the Yakabod site provides:
"Are you tweeting when you could be microblogging? Emailing when wiki-ing makes more sense? With so many choices out there, it’s tempting to pick one social media tool and use it all the time. Don’t do it, says Bill Ives. You get better results if you choose a method based on the outcome you want. In today’s show, Bill talks about how the medium you choose for your message—words versus pictures, for example—influences the way people process information, draw conclusions and solve problems. He shares specific examples of how to use wikis, blogs and microblogs to get work done faster and better.”
