I go on about Brighton. And consciously too. I try to include a final slide in any talk that I do with a sun-soaked picture of the beach, and the Pier (yawn, such drab cliches I know), to celebrate, talk up and remind the world of what we have here.
So it’s with the same clumsy, cloying, selfish but genuine sunny passion for this brilliant city of ours that I point you in the direction of the DiMAS, the Digital Media Awards South, smartly put together by the make-it-happen-ers of Wired Sussex.
It’s important to celebrate; in general. So easy to always move on, never looking back. So if you’re from the Brighton digital community, get stuck in - enter, this is your moment, this is your [cue vomit inducing cheesey music] ‘perfecccccctttttt mo-meeeennnnnnnn-tah’.
And with that, ladies and gentlefolk…….the DiMAS.
Entries are open NOW until Oct 22nd. The judges are also proper badness, so it’s a good chance to smear your brand all over their retinae.
Enough yada yada, back to work you scruffy crumpets.

In the old days, corporations had to construct three message: One for the investment community; one for customers; and one for employees. Social media has democratised communication and now the same messages have to work for all three audiences.
Jonathan Schwartz, the CEO of Sun Microsystems is often held up as a great example of what a corporate CEO can do with blogging, and his post on Thursday in reaction to the turmoil in the financial system is a great example of this new approach to communications.
He shares on his blog the internal memo that he sent to Sun employees, outlining the challenges and opportunities that the crisis presents to Sun. It shows how today there are no such things as ‘internal communications’ - just one message, direct from the CEO to everyone.

I’m starting a blogging relay - a challenge for my team and you dear reader - and together we shall make a comprehensive, useful, current and interesting A - Z of Social Media, one blog post at a time!
I’m starting with ‘A’…. please add any other ‘A’s you can think of as comments. Then, the baton gets passed on, and taken from my fair hands from one of my team members, to start on ‘B’ for the rest of us to add to in the same way.
Gettit?
I’ll begin…
A
Addictomatic is a new buzz monitoring tool that allows you to search your keywords (your company name, any events you need to track online coverage of, your own name etc) from a range of online places, including Flickr photos, blogs, Twitter, Technorati and social bookmarks.
Unfortuanatly it doesn’t yet search forums, which for some buzz monitoring would be essential, and have not talked about plans to add these to the functionality… yet. (One good free tool to track buzz on forums is Board Tracker… oops, stepping into ‘B’!)
Ambient intimacy is a lovely term coined by Lisa Reichelt quite some time ago in this blog post (worth a read) which I think summarises quite nicely what the social web has done to our personal relationships. To quote Lisa:
“Ambient intimacy is about being able to keep in touch with people with a level of regularity and intimacy that you wouldn’t usually have access to, because time and space conspire to make it impossible. Flickr lets me see what friends are eating for lunch, how they’ve redecorated their bedroom, their latest haircut. Twitter tells me when they’re hungry, what technology is currently frustrating them, who they’re having drinks with tonight.”
I like that even if I don’t get to see my friends as often as I like due to our ever increasingly busy lives I don’t feel so disconnected to them due to the lengths of time apart - by following them on Flickr, Twitter and even Facebook I still feel close to how they are doing, where they are at any one time.
Any more ‘A’s? please add to the list in the comments!
Next, ‘B‘….. http://www.nixonmcinnes.co.uk/2008/11/10/a-z-of-social-media-b-is-for/
