When it comes to creating content, what does "quality" mean to you?

— radiofreegeorgy · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:44:17

@radiofreegeorgy Attuned to both the medium you're using and the audience that has elected to engage with you in that medium.

— agossen · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:45:18

@agossen What does it mean to be "attuned to the medium"? What should be taken into consideration?

— radiofreegeorgy · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:54:10

@radiofreegeorgy That Twitter is different from Facebook is different from LinkedIn, etc.. And you have to craft your content accordingly.

— agossen · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:57:54

@radiofreegeorgy: knowing your audience, speaking with authority, and providing value for your readers, viewers or listeners

— danshewan · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:46:39

@danshewan Does the value trump the format (e.g. blog post v. news article, student video v. polished video production)?

— radiofreegeorgy · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:55:00

@radiofreegeorgy Issues of format go back to knowing your audience. I'd say format is secondary to what they can take away from it.

— danshewan · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:56:31

@radiofreegeorgy Quality = content that attracts new students and retains current ones. Thoughtful and provoking pieces.

— bsoler · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:47:23

@bsoler Does that value trump the format (e.g. blog post v. news article, student video v. polished video production)?

— radiofreegeorgy · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:56:36

@radiofreegeorgy Great question. One could argue quality trumps format or is the medium the message?

— bsoler · Wed, Oct 19 2011 09:05:39

@radiofreegeorgy It's sad, but accuracy is probably at the top of the list. Followed by relevance, clarity, & effectiveness. & WELL WRITTEN.

— kerri9494 · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:51:17

@kerri9494 How do you best achieve clarity and being "well-written" (or shot, recorded, etc.) in the pursuit of quality?

— radiofreegeorgy · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:53:42

@radiofreegeorgy In higher ed? Leave out jargon. Use terms outsiders would understand. Spelling & grammar A+. Test to see if message worked.

— kerri9494 · Wed, Oct 19 2011 08:58:09

@radiofreegeorgy For other media, appropriateness for venue. Don't do a cinematic trailer for Facebook. But don't use phone vid on home pg.

Some recently unearthed Billy Ruane-related videos. This first one is the gig I mentioned in the last post, when Billy booked us for one of, if not our first Boston gig. You can see the cash flying when he throws money at us during the song. There here is on stage after, in full MC mode. "My Sweet Lord" for Billy's cover.The second one is from his birthday party. Unfortunately, Billy's intro gets cut off at the top and you can only catch a glimpse of his dancing near the very ed. I am sure there are better videos to...
