There Might Be Nudity (ed. note: Not what you think!)

See on Scoop.itM-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Hello. My name is James, and I’m a Content Strategist.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This article comes to me by way of Scott Abel on his LinkedIn page. This is an excellent article of what content strategists are truly aiming to do, namely strip things down to a point where you can see the vulnerable foundation, and then rebuild by incorporating what works and adding as needed. Great, great article.

The Next Big Thing? These Are 5 Technologies My Clients Are Begging For

See on Scoop.itM-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

I think the “next big thing” is very obvious. Actually there are five big things. I know this by listening to my clients. And they are begging for help.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

I saw this listed on LinkedIn, and I have to agree with these five items. We often forget that we need to concentrate on meeting our basic needs well before moving on to the next best thing. I recall recently someone saying that the new iPhones weren’t innovative enough, and someone else countering that at least Apple was working on solidifying that the foundation they did have with their devices. Of course, this article shows that even Apple still has room for improvement (among others), but this is something to try to not lose sight of.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

The oft outspoken Sir Richard Branson has some good information. It’s fairly straight-forward, but I find that it’s what helps me navigate around social media generally.  I do find that a little bit of levity helps, and being direct and truthful helps as well.
