I couldn’t make it to PubCon this year, but with so many bloggers and video folks there, you are never very far from the action online.

One of my fave Social Media folks is Lee Odden who writes for TopRankBlog and in this 4 min interview with Mike McDonald from WebProNews, Lee talks about whether social media should be a direct marketing tactic, building relationships, branding.

“It’s not a silver bullet, it’s a method of communicating a message.”

Some nice facts and figures on this 5 min video which takes you on a whirlwind trip around technology!

I love the comment from someone on YouTube:

“I don’t want to die because I want to? see the technology in 2100!”

Loved this ad from Windows Mobile team – not that I ever play on my phone or update my Facebook status in meetings!

Not everyday you get to meet and chat to a Rugby legend, so watch his face as I describe him as one!

Suffice to say Will is a gentleman, extremely articulate but at the same time very self-effacing for someone who knows and has achieved so much.

This has been around for a bit so given the pace of social media adoption, some of it might already be out of date!

Good 4 min watch nevertheless….

Was very lucky to have Ben Chapman in the office a couple of weeks ago to record this vid.

He’s the interactive editor for BBC Radio 1 and does some very cool stuff with their 11 million weekly listeners. I met him in Reykjavik and he’s such a nice bloke!

More detail on the interview over on the Microsoft Advertising Blog!

More on how I met Andrew Sampson on the community site and how this interview came to happen!

There are more interviews like this on the way…..

Some friends and family have asked whether I cracked out the vocal chords at our wedding in August. Well I was lucky to have Josh LaBelle, Colleen’s man, agree to play guitar during the speeches.

What came out of an hour or so of jamming in his basement musical lair, was our version of Neil Diamond’s song Play Me.

Check out the new TV ad for the Microsoft Windows Phone I wrote about on the Microsoft Advertising Blog last week.

The phone is positioned as having an operating system which can cope with the demands of both work tasks and play stuff like social networking, web and music.
