ZimmComm – New Media, LLC

I’d like to welcome you all to a brand new year. I can’t wait to see what new techniques and technologies will pop up in the communications business. ZimmComm New Media is planning on continuing to develop various forms of social communications platforms like blogging and podcasting and we’ve got some exciting announcements coming up in the next week or so.

Please keep us in mind if you’re wondering how to make new media work for you. We are very happy to provide consulting services in addition to full production, development and even hosting.

Thank you to all our clients. We’re nearing our 3rd year anniversary and it is only possible because of all the wonderful people we work with. We hope you have a fantastic 2007.

Okay. The election is behind us. It’s time to move forward and figure out how we’re going to do business in the new political arena.

For my part, it’s time to head out on the road again and take a few days off. It’s hunting season. So you know where I’ll be for a few days.

I have to be out of town next Tuesday so it was off to the Callaway County Courthouse today to vote by absentee ballot.

I know the election isn’t until next Tuesday but I urge you to use this right and make your voice heard.

Every vote does count!

While on another extended blogging trip in Norway I came across some new media tidbits you might enjoy.

You can Skype me at “AgWired”

We wish you and your family a very happy 4th of July celebration.

Stay safe and enjoy the fireworks wherever you are.

It’s been a long month of road blogging so I haven’t posted much here. You can see how a blog can become a great daily online window into your organization or event by checking out either Domestic Fuel or AgWired. Several different organizations have been employing our services to blog their event. There’s more to come on both these websites over the coming months as well.

I’ll continue to draw your attention to new media ideas here as we work on developing them ourselves.

A recent story on Podcasting News asks a pretty startling question. “Will the Internet Eliminate Local Broadcasters?”

Frankly, I don’t think so. Even with the surge in new media applications and consumer use I think our local radio and tv stations will still be sources of news and information. But only if they pay attention to what’s going on. For example, I only listen to a local station here in the Jefferson City area because they have a great show on Saturday mornings playing the music I like. Otherwise I only tune in to hear a local weather forecast if I’m in my car. The reason is that most music radio is boring. It seems like you can listen to the same station from coast to coast. Where’s the local news and programming? Even talk radio is the same (boring). But there are some stations that are getting it.

How would you answer the question? My good friend Steve has posted on this before.
