Sidebar: Here are two copies of the video from two different hosting services. Which one plays better on your machine from your location.
http://www.vimeo.com/8623079I chased down Dara Prentice at 105 Degrees (Classen Curve) in OKC to get the raw lowdown on a new trend in food. Check it out and spread the good news.
(This is copy of my newsletter that went out Friday morning. If you were subscribed to our newsletter you would have had this delivered right to you. Think about it ! 
)
It has been awhile since I shared some news with you. I hope this newsletter finds you well. May your business be good, and your personal life be great! Let’s see what good stuff we have to share today:
1. I was considering doing a weekly video cast for you and everybody else in the world on business failures. You can read up on that and comment at http://patrickallmond.com/2009/08/12/would-you-like-to-learn-from-my-mistakesmy-free-gift/ . If you’d be interested in this please make sure you leave a comment in the comment section. If you know anybody that would be interested please forward this to them.
2. I am not sure if you saw the news this week, but Facebook bought the conversational site FriendFeed. For those of you that don’t know FriendFeed is like Twitter on steriods. It is a great site for initiating conversations > 140 characters and getting instant feedback and conversations going. Well now they are owned by Facebook, and a lot of users online are running around like Chicken Little screaming about the demise of FriendFeed. Personally I am not worried. Maybe I should be. It would break my heart if FriendFeed went away esp. since I love it so much more than Twitter. If you have not
had a chance hop on FriendFeed and look for Patrick Allmond there.
3. Were you caught in the Twitter outage this week? I have been preaching for a long time that Twitter is a single point of failure. Don’t bet your business on it – ensure you are working your Social Media Marketing from several sites. Assume at any point in time that any service (Facebook, Twitter, etc) will disappear. If one of those sites goes down or one of
those businesses evaporates your Social Media world should not be crushed. Spread that risk my friend.
4. Social Media 360 Class – for those of you that missed it we had a great Advanced Social Media 360 class a couple of weeks ago. Malena Lott wowed the crowd with her knowledge of branding and marketing. We didn’t get into the
advanced technical aspects as much as we wanted, but we are going to remedy that in the future. If you would like information on advanced topics (Blogging, Live Streaming Video, YouTube, etc) please contact me at
patrick @ patrickallmond.com for one on one training. You’d be suprised how easy most of this stuff is. I’ll take care of you.
5. Happy time – I always love to end on a happy note. I took this footage at 122nd and Rockwell this past week. It is of a guy that dances outside of my local Little Ceasars. Check it out at http://patrickallmond.com/2009/08/08/way-to-go-little-ceasars-your-own-dancing-machine/
Did you find the information in this newsletter useful? If so please forward it to 5 friends and have them subscribe athttp://patrickallmond.com/social-marketing-newsletter-signup/ . If not drop me a line and tell me what you want more or less of.
Now this is the the life. Talk about just letting it all hang out. This is a great example of doing something loud and outrageous and just not caring what people think. I am so happy that his company let’s him do this. The rest of us should take note and dance around like we are naked.
I give you the Little Ceasar’s dancing machine. Spread the word far and wide.
“Hardcore man on the street videos. As real as it gets. No script. No actors. Raw emotion taken right out of the coffee cup and thrown in your face.” Our videos might be like that someday, but until then we are going to track down the people and businesses that are keeping this country interesting and alive.
I tracked down the Cafe Evoke Coffee Crew last Friday in Oklahoma City. Check it out.
For more of these videos make sure you sign up for the mailing list and/or RSS feed on the right.
Had dinner with the ProjectOKC group Friday night. Rex and I stepped out for a quick interview to see what they had been up to today.
