So you ve got a Facebook account and added a couple of dozen friends. In time, you begin to add some business contacts as well. Since your business contacts can now see your profile, you re faced with a dilemma. Do you stop posting any personal comments like jokes, updates about your family, etc.? Or do you post only business information from now on, irritating your friends and family? There s a better solution, and it s called Friend Splitting. In these five short videos, I ll show you how to split your friends into different groups ( lists ), send different status messages to different lists, prevent certain lists from seeing updates (e.g., prevent your business colleagues from seeing information about your personal life), and more. This is a small portion of what I present during my popular The Eight Keys to Marketing Online: Get More Leads and Close More Sales seminar. I hope you find these useful! If you found these videos helpful, you may want to consider signing up for my free low-volume newsletter. Or better yet, I d be pleased to come to your association or company and present The Eight Keys to Marketing Online: Get More Leads and Close More Sales.

One of the projects CBC is undertaking across the country is a sweeping integration of its news-gathering resources. Rather than having separate newsrooms, assignment desks, and reporters for TV, radio, and web, CBC will now have a single source for its operations. CBC Vancouver just opened its integrated newsroom.

Sean Carruthers did a great review of the iPhone s new Voice Memos application (comes with the iPhone 3.0 software update) the other day. iPhone 3 s Voice Memo app One thing I haven t been able to find any reviews of the actual audio quality, so I did my own test and I have to say the quality is really much better than you d expect. It can easily be used in broadcast production on CBC Radio One (which has stronger compression/limiting at the transmitter end), AM stations, and podcasts. When you look at the file in iTunes (it creates a playlist called Voice Memos ), it will claim a ridiculously high bit rate (around 350kbps) which may trick you into thinking it would sound, well, like 350kbps. Don t let the numbers fool you. My tests sounded closer to around 128k, maybe a little higher. Also, pay no attention to the (beautifully retro) VU meter. It really won t help you. It has a clip light, but you ll overmodulate around -3dB or -4dB, not 0dB like you should. Just keep an eye on it when you re recording and when you hit -4dB, back the mic off a little. Attached is the audio of a field test I did a conversation between podcasters Mark Blevis and Tim Coyne. (P.S. If you re a fan of the This American Life style of storytelling, you need to subscribe to Tim s Hollywood Podcast the true stories of his life as an actor in Los Angeles).
