Low-down on Hulu from Daisy Whitney April 4th, 2008
I came across this video which turned out to be a quick video about the popular Internet video site that has a number of mainstream shows in the US called Hulu:
The woman in the video is Daisy Whitney who I found out about in This Week in Media. Actually I listened to an episode and heard her voice and she kept coming back onto the show. She sounded really interesting so I looked her up and found her site.

chilipod 1-11: Interview with Glen Verran from the ZA Show June 17th, 2007
In this episode of chilipod I begin a series of podcasts where I interview local podcasters about their podcasts. In this first interview of the series I chat to Glen Verran from The ZA Show about podcasting in South Africa and about The ZA Show itself. He also talks a bit about a show he did onboard a plane! Now that is innovation!

Announcing chilivents May 28th, 2007
Today we are launching our chilivents podcast through which we will publish events that are recorded and published as a podcast. Our first event series is the WebPR+ conference held in March this year in Fourways, Johannesburg. If you would like to subscribe to chilivents you can do so by subscribing to the feed which is feeds.feedburner.com/chilivents.
Podcasting offers a number of benefits to business that go beyond events podcasting. I recently gave some input on how podcasts can add some value. I thought it might be appropriate to repeat my comments here:
… the other hand the prevalence of devices capable of playing podcast episodes (which are typically mp3-formatted audio files) presents a sizable potential market for podcasts if sufficient provision is made to deliver those podcasts to those handsets. That being said, podcasts are hardly a magic bullet and will not make other marketing channels redundant or solve all the challenges marketeers face. Podcasts have their place, as with any other marketing channel, and it is a matter of using podcasts appropriately.
Where I see value in podcasts for businesses is in its use in the enterprise as a communications tool. Podcasts could be used as a substitute for certain content on an intranet for employees who spend their time on the road. They could be used to communicate with other stakeholders, generally speaking, by presenting an alternative to text based communications routinely sent out by email or posted on a web site. An example could be statements, interviews, discussions and presentations given by individuals within an organisation and which could be made available to an audience outside the organisation which would not ordinarily have benefitted from these statemetns, interviews, discussions and presentations.
Another use for podcasts is to record and distribute presentations given at conferences to interested parties who would not have attended the conference before for a number of reasons. We are about to publish a series of posts from the WebPR+ conference held earlier this year for the benefit of attendees and people who may be interested in future conferences of a similar nature. This is a model that has been adopted by American podcast networks like GigaVox Media and Podtech.net and I believe a podcast of a conference provides a way for interested people to benefit from the information contained in the presentations, find out more about the conference itself and perhaps make the decision to attend a subsequent conference because those people have had an opportunity, through the podcast, to see the value in the conference.
So if you would like to explore the possibilities in your organisation, let us know. We will be more than happy to chat to you about a few options.

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.
As always, this episode is available in two formats:
- Enhanced chilipod (AAC/iTunes format); and
- Normal chilipod (mp3 format).
The music we have used in this episode (and which we may use in future episodes) is a track called YFM Late Remix by a crowd known as Deep Fried. The track has been published on the ccMixter:sa site under a Creative Commons Attribution license.

Social media will be like air April 22nd, 2007
I have just been watching a video podcast episode of Marketing Voices with Jennifer Jones (part of the PodTech.net network) where Jennifer interviews Charlene Li from Forrester Research. Li believes that social media will be so commonplace in the coming years that it will be “like air”. Take a look at the video to find out more:

Business interest in social media April 7th, 2007
There are some interesting stats on business adoption of social media on BizCommunity from a survey conducted by Melcrum. Here are some of the stats that interested me most:
- 55% of companies are already blogging or plan to start blogging in the next year;
- Other popular new media elements were podcasts (43%), RSS/webfeeds (51%) and social networks like LinkedIn (41%);
- 70% of the respondents had no policies in place to deal with blogging and the use of other new media elements in the company.
Now this research was conducted overseas so the figures probably don’t really have too much meaning here in South Africa but on the assumption we are following international trends, this information is pretty informative. Being the resident lawyer here at chilibean the last statistic is pretty scary. Every company should have an acceptable use policy to deal with how that company’s IT infrastructure is used and that includes new media elements. It is fantastic that employees are blogging and podcasting and that should be encouraged but the process should be managed to minimise the potential for liability.
