Author Archive for Elliott

Elliott is addicted to social technology and new media. He jumped into social technology when he was finishing his MBA and MSL. He realized the potential in social technology while studying virtual leadership, innovation, and group dynamics—seeing that these new technologies are fostering the human element on the Web. Since then, he has gained experience in the industry as a social marketing strategist for a wide range of content for companies like Microsoft and Intel. Most recently, he spent time in Honduras working with the people, helping in children’s homes and feeding kitchens, and teaching new self-sustaining practices. During his trip, Elliott funneled all of the interaction through social networking platforms to bring awareness to the general public about the harsh realities that the people face there. It's not all work: Elliott loves to experiment and try new things, which has lead him to start his own social networks, podcasts, blogs, and video and audio productions. Most of these experiements in social technology and new media stem from his love of music, backpacking, rock climbing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, running, triathalons, and family and friends.

With a lot of laughter, funny costumes, and all around good times I couldn’t resist to breakout the cameras (still/video). With everyone completely enjoying themselves I conducted video interviews, a massive group picture and even some tear jerking glamour [...]

So What’s Next?

I cannot tell you how many times I’m asked by organizations or individuals for the expected shelf life of social technologies? The conversation usually starts with  Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, and how they cannot stay on top forever and sadly enough some even mention everything will revert to a 1.0 status. My usual response to this type of [...]
