My favorite album of all time is Cocteau Twins- Heaven or Las Vegas. I frequently experience l’appel du vide.
I find the term "new media" to be lazy and unsatisfying, and I am extremely skeptical of 90% of people that proclaim themselves to be "social media consultants".
Some media is dynamic, and some is static. I am interested in both.
Most importantly, I really do love to share ideas and experiences, and I think that we are lucky. Lucky to be pioneers in almost everything that we do.
