    Randy ResnickRandy Resnick, born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1947, became interested in technology at a young age, building electronic kits and projects through high school. He became a professional musician and moved to Los Angeles in his 20’s, playing blues in clubs with artists like John Lee Hooker, toured Europe and Asia and recorded with John Mayall. He moved to France to go back to his love of technology, where he worked for a company as a programmer while learning minicomputers. He eventually started his own consulting business with his wife. He also got involved with voice-over-IP (VoIP) as a hobby. In the early days of the web, they worked for prestigious Bordeaux wine producers, helping them get on the Internet and later, social media. Since the advent of affordable video, he has been producing Google Hangouts and Youtube Live Events, including the weekly VoIP Users Conference.

    Introducing “FIR On Technology With Dan York”

    The FIR Podcast Network is pleased to announce a new podcast on technology that will begin on December 31, 2013. Presenter Dan York explains…

    Future tech

    How can communicators best use new tools such as, say, Google+ Hangouts On Air to tell their stories in new ways or to reach new audiences? Are there tips and tricks they should be aware of? What is new in the latest release of WordPress? Why should someone in PR and marketing care about something like IPv6 or HTML5?

    I’m Dan York and since 2005 I’ve been providing weekly reports into the For Immediate Release podcast where I’ve looked at questions such as these - what are the changes we are seeing in technology and why should communicators care about these changes.

    Now, with the launch of the FIR Podcast Network I’ll be diving into more detail in "FIR On Technology With Dan York". Rather than just a 5-minute report, these periodic podcasts will take 15, 20, 30, 40 minutes or however long it takes to cover the subject.

    Since the mid-1980s I’ve been working with online technologies - always with one foot deep in the technology and one foot deep in explaining the technology and using the technology for PR / marketing of various organizations. Today I work for a global non-profit where my task is to help persuade, inform and educate people about how new technologies can make the Internet work better, faster and be more secure.

    In FIR On Technology episodes I’ll be bringing you the benefit of the view into both of those worlds - how the technology works and how you can use it - and I’ll be interviewing people who are leaders in their fields. I have no agenda - I’m just here to educate and to learn along the way and share my experiences.

    If you have ideas for topics you’d like to hear me cover, I’d love to hear from you. Either leave a message in the FIR Podcast Community on Google+ or contact me directly at DanYork@forimmediaterelease.biz. FIR On Technology shows can be found at the main website at www.forimmediaterelease.biz.

    Please join me in exploring where the technology behind communications is going!

    Dan.

    FIR Presents LinkedConversations with Chuck Hester, Episode 4: December 28, 2013

    FIR Presents LinkedConversations with Chuck HesterWelcome to the latest episode of LinkedConversations with Chuck Hester.

    Welcome to the latest episode of LinkedConversations with Chuck Hester.In this episode I take a look at LinkedIn University Pages, a feature that offers information on academic institutions, similar to LinkedIn Company pages. Read about them in Linked In’s blog post from this Fall.

    I also talk about the lowering of the LinkedIn age limit in the use to 14, and how that can help high schoolers with their college application process.

    My special guest this week is Kelly Crowley, a public policy & program administration consultant; 4 time medal-winning Paralympic athlete and Varsity Coach at Stanford Community Recreation Association.

    She is also Owner/President of Sportonic, an organization that consults with ParaSport clubs and sports organizations on cost-effective programs and policies to provide a full range of integrated sport opportunities for recreational to elite athletes with disabilities.
    Kelly and I discuss how to use video in your profile. As a result of her videos, Kelly was singled out by LinkedIn as a great example of how to use this feature. We’ll also talk about using LinkedIn to get new business.

    Finally, I explain why the week between Christmas and New Years is the optimum time to use LinkedIn.
