Jeremiah Owyang has a video on media snackers on his blog tonight. And he asked some of us to respond if we respect media snackers.
The video provides the definition of people my daughter’s age & how they get bits of info here & there. I noted the point that they utilize free spaces like Flickr & other storage spaces. That probably caught my attention because I’m polling our ACDSee customers as to what services they use so that we can provide uploaders to help them conveniently upload their ‘image snacking’ to their photo storage place of choice.
Since Jeremiah says he’s not concise, I definitely know that I’m not! I tend to enjoy writing. Personally I think Jeremiah does a great job of providing bite sized pieces & I need to work on that because I know that people are really busy. I know that I skim blog posts too.
What does my audience want or expect? Well, I’m hoping they’re looking for more than a snack. I prefer to put more thoughts here (bit more than a snack) and struggle with keeping it under 140 characters on Twitter. I’ve been putting short snack-like posts on our ACDSee blog though. That’s more like an appetizer with a number of entrees to choose from. We have products for home users, professionals and corporate folks.
Ok I quickly adapted this to a food analogy. Thanks Jeremiah for inviting me to add to the conversation! Now to keep the conversation going – I’m going to ask Clay Newton, David Yeo, Stan, & Connie Reece – Do you respect Media Snackers?
Thanks Connie! Starting to think about them snackers! :)
Respect the snack attack?
Connie Bensen (not Connie Benson) looped me into a conversation that Jeremiah Oywang generated, Do you respect Media Snackers? This is an interesting question. Text Email – Yes … I write the shortest emails possible Twitter – Use it all
Forget appetizers, Connie. You give us Thanksgiving. :)
Actually she usually provides enough snacks/talking to last from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
Sorry, I had to add and as a sister I can make a jab!
Got the Munchies? Have a Media Snack
A new new media friend, Connie Bensen, tagged me on a meme started by one of my favorite bloggers, Forrester analyst Jeremiah Owyang.

I’m guilty of being a mediasnacker myself. There’s just too much information cluttering the web and it’s really much more useful and efficient to take in bite-size morsels of information. I hate to spend more x amount of time on any single site. That’s why I think more and more people will take to news and social aggregator sites.

What a strange premise. How could you disrespect somebody, simply because of their preferred media consumption habits??
Might be interesting to have a discussion about whether that behavior is effective or not at getting oneself informed, but if the question is respect…..
well, I sure hope you do. And I sure do.
