Why I Love Social Media: Translating the printemps érable.
I will admit it. The Quebec student protests never really resonated with me. Despite my liberal democratic ideals, despite my support for a fully accessible public education system, and despite my conviction that public protest is an essential component of a healthy democracy, I didn’t instinctively find any common cause or sense of purpose with […]
How To Outflank Facebook, Google, and Twitter: Run A Global Popularity Contest.
April 30, 2012
If I had two million dollars to invest in an idea, this is the idea I would invest in. The Idea A sales and marketing platform with the appeal of American Idol and the scale of social media. It will leverage existing and future social media, incorporate game elements, and fully integrate into people’s offline […]
Social Media 201: Will You Be Ready For The Changes We Can’t Yet Conceive?
April 23, 2012
The Big Picture When thinking about social media tools strategically, whether for yourself or for your organization, it’s important not to get too bogged down in the details of a specific tool. Instead, you must first understand what these tools, on the whole, uniquely allow you or your organization to do, why they are important, […]
Taking Stock of Social Media 2009 – 2012: Social Media Is Dead, Long Live Social Media.
April 16, 2012
Recently, a friend wrote to ask me how I was feeling about social media these days. As it happens, I’ve been thinking about social media a lot recently, in part, because we are, I think, at a bit of a crossroads. My friend’s question presented the perfect opportunity to articulate my thoughts. Here’s a revised […]
I Like My Media Like I Like My Chaps: Social!
April 12, 2012
When I first got onboard social media in a serious way, back in November of 2008, I thought the expression “social media” was stupid. Media, in this sense of the word, are always, by definition, social, if by “social” you mean something like “involving more than one person.” To transmit information, at least two people need […]
An Essential Rule To Blog (And Live) By: Don’t Do As I Do!
April 28, 2010
One of the aspects I enjoy most about this blog is that the very same people who comment on a poem, a play, or a song often comment on one of my social and political posts or on a theatre review or on a post analyzing social media. My mind wanders and, thankfully, there are […]
Social Media Set The Stage: Now Available World-Wide!
April 12, 2010
My book is now available for purchase on Amazon world-wide! On February 11, 2010, Space 55 Theatre Ensemble, in Phoenix, Arizona, premiered an unlikely double feature: the U.S. premiere of Tangelico by Sterling Lynch and the world premiere of A Cube With A View by Mare Biddle. Barely a year before, the two playwrights had […]
Ottawa To Phoenix And Back Again: Transpose, Transform, Transmute.
March 2, 2010
Holden Caulfield knows he likes a book when he’s done reading it and wishes he could call the author and talk. Mare Biddle is the the kind of reader you hope will call and talk after she’s read your work. Or tweet you. Or email. Or pick you up at the hotel each morning for […]
No Coins Please: Two Approaches To Making Money From Your Art On-Line
February 17, 2010
Previously I mentioned, as a part of my efforts to make an imagined future a present reality, I will be testing different ideas on how best to generate income from an arts-related blog like this one. Essentially, I want to figure out how to be a self-employed author (in the broadest sense of the term), […]
The Future Weave Of Our Shared Stories: High School, Social Media, And The End Of A Mass Media Society
February 15, 2010
Growing up, I watched a lot of TV. As a result, I pretty much internalized the American mass media portrayal of high school social life. Heading into high school at Glebe Collegiate Institute in Ottawa, I believed there would be cool kids and uncool kids. The cool kids would be rich and play sports, get […]
