One day, the number of choices one will have in the car will be infinite. In other words, more choices than you can listen to in your lifetime. Radio&#039;s decades-long advantages, ubiquity and ease of use, are no longer advantages exclusive to radio. I&#039;ve been in the industry 24 years, but rarely listen to radio in my car. For me, it&#039;s my Stitcher app (streamed podcasts), podcasts I&#039;ve downloaded, Pandora or Slacker, or books from Audible.com, and all from my Android smartphone. I control every bit of the content and hear what I want, when I want. I understand the potential for radio when investment is made in quality talent who bring compelling content to the table that, currently at least, Pandora and Slacker can&#039;t (or don&#039;t) touch. But so much of the content I give my attention to doesn&#039;t even involve &quot;talent,&quot; at least not as we&#039;ve traditionally defined it. How does radio, assuming I&#039;m typical at all, solve that problem?

As I read this post, I couldn&#039;t help but be reminded of the chapter in Seth Godin&#039;s book Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? called The Powerful Culture of Gifts. In it, he says, &quot;People who take gifts but don&#039;t give them find themselves temporarily ahead of the game, but ultimately left out.&quot; I&#039;ve heard many who have thumbed their nose at, say, Twitter because they see it as narcissistic (not having tried it most times) but, like you, I agree that narcissism is not rewarded.

As well, I&#039;m at a place where I may in fact be able to influence those in a position of &quot;senior&quot; leadership in my company. My industry desperately needs those in the trenches to step out and impact it for the sake of its future. I want to be one of those people.

Next! :-) Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:48:52 +0000 http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/10/my-comments-policy.html#IDComment39316416 http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/09/book-notes-free.html#IDComment36370863 I&#039;ve been listening to Free on my iPod and am also intrigued greatly by it. While listening to Free is nice, I long to leaf through its pages. I&#039;d like to really dig in and begin better formulating my company&#039;s survival plan. As I look at the future of my industry (radio), and the industry we&#039;re in bed with (music labels), I can&#039;t help but continue to believe they (music industry) don&#039;t get it. Right now, the fight is on for performance royalties, something the Gospel Music Association supports (to their detriment I believe). This has caused broadcasters nationwide to pull out of GMA Week altogether. One side believes broadcasters should be paying performers for all of the otherwise free content (we do pay licensing fees - always have), while the other side looks at the platform they provide (the airwaves) as free promotion. Where is it all headed? No one knows for sure. But what I do know is that if both sides (broadcast and music) continue to put all their eggs in the music creation basket instead of viewing themselves more as media companies involved in the creation of all sorts of content and services, then neither will survive for very long.

Thanks for the wrap up. Very well done.

Finally figured out you&#039;ve got to place your mouse of those teeny tiny birth date squares and fill them in. Either I&#039;m getting old or I need a new prescription.

Now I&#039;m trying a third and final time. I was too long the second time too. Doesn&#039;t look nearly as convincing if you&#039;re words are cut off. I guess I need to learn to be more succinct. Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:43:29 +0000 http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/06/would-you-like-to-be-donald-miller%e2%80%99s-co-author.html#IDComment24073786 http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/06/would-you-like-to-be-donald-miller%e2%80%99s-co-author.html#IDComment24073465 My experience may not be indicative of most. I wrote my paragraph and when it was ready, I noticed I&#039;d written too much. The last sentence was cut off. I got no indication that would happen and now it was too late to change. I ended up starting over, this time using a different e-mail address. Just saying it might be helpful to make the cursor force you to stop once you&#039;ve reached the maximum characters for wordy guys like me.

Never thought I&#039;d leave TweetDeck, but I keep finding myself going back to Seesmic. Like you, I attempted PeopleBrowsr and came to the same conclusion you did. Any suggestions for what I should write about now?

I argued as much just last week with someone I was following who was not only cramming in as many Twitter handles as he could, but doing so in several back-to-back tweets. He responded that my complaining was akin to him telling my radio station to stop airing commercials and touted his 24,000+ followers. I don&#039;t follow him anymore. The reason I don&#039;t follow him and others like him anymore is because, as many try and argue otherwise, there is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to use the service.

I rarely receive voice mails any longer. When I do, they&#039;re a chore. I much prefer the other methods you describe. I haven&#039;t been much of a fan of many IM clients, but for work, I just began using Yammer (<a href="http://yammer.com)" target="_blank">http://yammer.com)</a> and am testing with my staff. It&#039;s basically Twitter/Social Network for your staff. Only people with the URL &quot;wayfm&quot; can even get in. I can create private groups too (GMs, Operations Directors, WAY-FM Nashville staff, whatever). I can even bring in RSS feeds, links, images, tags and more. If all goes well, I will be recommending it to WAY-FM corporate for adoption throughout the whole company. My hope is to see some of the &quot;silos&quot; that have evolved over the years to begin to fall.

It&#039;s especially powerful for me in bringing to me insights from people I might not connect with otherwise. For many thought leaders, it&#039;s an extension of their blog. They often &quot;tweet&quot; exclusive content on Twitter or suggest links to stories and blog posts I wouldn&#039;t otherwise know about. That along makes it well worth it for me.

Was glad to see too that I already subscribe to 6 of the 7 blogs you recommended and 3 of the 4 gurus you cited. I&#039;m adding the others right away. Now, if I can make time to do a little more reading (audio books here I come).
