Bird House Rules — Episode #9: Location, Location,...
No, you're not seeing things. I'm back, and I'm coming out of the Bird House swinging!
It's been a long break, the first half of it expected and the other half completely unexpected; and I return...

Birdhouse Rules: The Pilot Episode
Welcome to Birdhouse Rules, the Official Podcast of All a Twitter and Sams Teach Yourself Twitter in Ten Minutes.
This is the Pilot Episode or more commonly referred to as "Episode 0" in podcasting....
Tee Morris on Radio New Zealand
To give this new blog a proper kick off, I offer up Part One of an interview featured at Imagine That! Studios. Enjoy!
Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, introduced me to Radio New Zealand...
As mentioned in the previous Bird House Rules postings, Que Publishing has once again featured All a Twitter in Barnes & Noble Bookstores everywhere, and in my response to Que’s “Whatever you can do to get the word out…”query, I feature Michele Price, the host of Breakthrough Business. On her BlogTalkRadio show we talk about Twitter, about my job at Intersections Inc (which you will find out more about later on Imagine That! Studios), and about approaches that go against the grain of the marketing books. We talk about how “old school marketing” just doesn’t work with Social Media, and how businesses need to understand that Twitter (and Social Media, on a whole) is about people.
We had a blast on this interview, and I hope you enjoy the listen. Feel free to comment, post, and share!
Twitter, as you hear me say in Speak Geek to Me, is being hailed as one of the greatest innovations in modern communications. What does it mean, then, when a tool that revolutionizes how we exchange ideas and share thoughts suddenly decides shut its users out and make a change without notification?
Changing its interface as one would change underwear, Twitter apparently pulled a back-handed “Give the People What They Want” by removing the new Retweet feature. This feature has been in Beta since the Fall of this year and Twitterakians were kept in the loop as early as idea conception. Sure, there was a slight learning curve and not everyone took to it, but third-party clients adopted it into their user interfaces and many like TweetDeck and Twittelator Pro added the functionality with their own flair. I even covered it in the last Bird House with a video addendum.
But this morning I got a tweet from John Merlin (@zard) from the UK:

@Scaleslea You _know_ I still have a _LOT_ to say about Social Media. It's just where my time, focus, and energies are best spent. in reply to Scaleslea2011-06-17
