chilipod 1-13: Mxit

August 17th, 2007

In this episode of chilipod I present my interview with Mxit’s Herman Heunis. There has been quite a bit of talk about how secure/insecure Mxit is for children specifically. In this interview Herman sets the record straight and points out that the challenge isn’t Mxit but rather users’ tendency to give out too much information about themselves and this is what leads to the attacks every parent fears.

June 10th, 2007

This debate is far from over and this conversation raises a few questions about the best approach to what is really a noble effort, albeit sometimes poorly executed.

chilipod episode 8: Interview with Paul Walsh of Segala (part 1)

May 28th, 2007

Segala.pngIn this episode of chilipod I chat to Paul Walsh of Segala about how he came to found Segala and the web accessibility part of his business. I had a great interview with Paul and this is the first part of three parts. In the other two parts of the interview we discussed content labels and blogger codes of conduct. I would like to thank Paul again for the interview especially considering our total interview ran close to an hour, a bit longer than the 5 or 10 minutes I initially indicated would be needed.

chilipod episode 7: Podcasting to your employees

May 20th, 2007

In this week’s episode we include extracts from a talk given by Shel Holz at the Podcast Academy in September 2006. The talk was released under a Creative Commons Sampling 1.0 license. As you will hear from these extracts and, even more so from the full talk, there are a number of ways podcasts can be used as effective tools to communicate information to employees.

Just as we have preferences for how and when we consume our content, so to will your employees so it makes sense to give them information in a format that works best for them. This episode is really intended to be an introduction to how you can incorporate podcasts into your company’s communication strategy.

There is just as much scope to make use of podcasts as general communications tools for other stakeholders like investors, customers and the press. Feel free to drop us a line if you would like to explore some of the possibilities that may be appropriate for your business.
