This year, I’ve been taking my Social Media Barometer talk on the road, sharing my perspective on some of the trends and pressure points facing PR/marketing and offering a forecast on how to put things into a context that makes sense for communicators.

Some of the changes I cover include why you see what you do when you search; the 21st century generation gap; walking around with our heads in the (internet) cloud – that is, living in a state of constant mobility; and the part we’re all playing in shaping the new media companies.

On November 15, I’ll be in Chappel Hill, NC as one of the presenters at the 2012 NCPRSA PR and Marketing Seminar.  If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll drop by.

In the meantime, here’s a quick interview I did with Dana Hughens that gives you a sample of the session:
