I was hoping someone would call me out on the fifth ("find things on Google") as I agree, if you're not doing that yet, you're seriously behind the times. BUT, I was assigned the term dinosaurs. I was half tempted to mention AOL and Altavista and Hotmail and Angelfire, but I managed to hold back. There are many dinosaurs who are still going to be intimidated by being told to "Get an RSS feed-reader", and probably should be encouraged to sign up for Google News and Google Blog alerts instead. And Bill, I never claim to know what I'm talking about -- unless we're talking ancient history, or some of the more obscure trivial pursuit categories, or science fiction.

Think 'conversations' or two-way communication. It's about communicating and listening. Make yourself available, listen, contribute, and adapt to feedback. Get an RSS feed-reader, subscribe to blogs of interest, comment and add value to the conversation. Get Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter accounts (to start) and begin to connect and participate with the people around you. If you are not 'finding things on Google' already, then I suggest you tap your grandchildren for guidance. Seriously Bill! “How can communications dinosaurs like me embrace the change in the communication process available with eMarketing channels?”
