Congrats on the new series! As a student of Michael’s in Humber’s certificate program who completed this course last semester, I was a guinea pig of the Personal Brand Camp and assignment. Thank you for perfectly summing up the uneasiness that comes with constructing yourself as a packaged good online. I appreciate Michael’s ambitious attitude in taking on a 3 month ‘Social Media’ course, but your insights really gave a lot of perspective on the value and pitfalls of personal branding. Cheers

I enjoyed watching your first episode and look forward to more. The length of the episode seemed just right. As a PR professor at Humber, I try to help students walk the fine line between being true to themselves and establishing their own professional brand personna as aspiring PR practitioners. I’ve found that some students are unclear about personal lives and professional boundaries. Is social media, given it’s about conversation, changing the rules of what is socially acceptable?

Congratulations on the new video podcast!

I found your discussion particularly interesting since I helped Michael Cayley with the first Personal Brand Camp and look forward to this new and improved iteration.

I look forward to future episodes!

Cheers,
Connie

Michael, We’re keen to support Humber and other schools to integrate social media into their courses. Social media is changing so much – empowering us to form communities of interest, changing our expectations of organizations and governments. It’s important that we equip young people to see and make the most of its true potential.

Hi Eric, You’re right about the iTunes feed. We’re figuring out how to set one up from BrightCove, our video hosting platform.

It would be great to be able to subscribe using iTunes as opposed to a feed reader. Your RSS feed would need to be sending an MPEG-4 file of some sort to iTunes. At the moment it just links back to the site’s Flash version.

Joe – thanks again for your support of the Humber PR program, from vetting the course about a year ago (available for comment here: http://bit.ly/8YXQtT), to collaborating on this Brand Camp initiative (dets here: http://bit.ly/67I2C2 ) and now with your coverage of the topic with this your very first episode of The Social Mediators.

I posted a comment contributing to the conversation that you start in the video, over on Dave’s blog: http://bit.ly/cPqUKq

Michael
