Columbus Dispatch Orders YouTube To Take Down Golden Voice Video

By on Friday, January 7th, 2011 | 5 Comments

The Columbus Dispatch could learn a thing or two about social media.

The Columbus Dispatch filed a Copyright claim with YouTube and had the videos taken down that were posted about Ted Williams, the man with the Golden Voice.  The video of  Ted was actually shot about 6 weeks ago according the the reporter who shot the interview.

11 million views and the Columbus Dispatch just shut down their publicity. Survey says…..

However, it took a guy who like the story to extract the video and post it on YouTube.

Here are a few things that Columbus Dispatch should learn about social media.

  • Nobody would have heard about this story unless it was posted on YouTube.
  • Poor Ted Williams would still be on the side of the road begging for money if it weren’t for the guy who uploaded your video.
  • The Columbus Dispatch should pay the guy who uploaded the video a buck a view. (Not really.)
  • The Dispatch should have their own YouTube Channel.

They could have put a call-to-action overlay on the video and got advertising revenue from the video.
They could have put the hyperlink back to the original story in the description.

Now the Columbus Dispatch looks like the bad guys when they could have used social media properly.

No wonder Newspapers are going under…..they still don’t get it.

Kudos to the guy who posted the video on YouTube. If it weren’t for him….Ted Williams wouldn’t be where he is today.

Good luck to Ted.   As for the Dispatch….I don’t think the paper will be around too much longer if they can’t bring traffic to their website via YouTube.

Cleveland Nails the Social Media Scene.

By on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | 5 Comments

A group of some of the smartest and most intriguing people in a city coming together and collectively writing a book on social media…  Have you ever heard of such a thing? AND IN CLEVELAND??

This is the first time I have seen this and I think that it’s extremely OUTSTANDING!!!

Welcome to Social Media

Welcome to Social Media

Members of the Cleveland Social Media Club put their minds together and created Welcome To Social Media. It’s an amazing guide to help people and businesses comprehend social media.

Welcome to Social Media was created as a place for the Cleveland Social Media Club to share educational materials designed to help individuals and businesses navigate the quickly evolving world of social media. Welcome to Social Media, Volume 1, is the first of what we hope will be many e-books offering social media tips and advice to users of all skill levels. – www.welcometosocialmedia.com

I know you are saying to yourself as you scratch your head, “Well jeepers, how much does it cost?” Well, my fine thrifty friends… it’s FREE. There are no mailing lists, no spam, nothing..NADA. Get the book now dude.

See, as Clevelanders, we love to share. We’ll hold the line up at the grocery store just to tell why we are buying broccoli. Cleveland is the PLACE for Social Media. Social media is perfect for Clevelanders and for any person or business who wants to share. (Hint for Facebook..how about moving your headquarters here to Cleveland.)

If there is a Volume #2…count me in.

Here’s what members of the Cleveland Social Media Club are saying about social media. (I love this video and I’m blatantly going to steal this idea for my next video. I love the use of the twitter profiles in this video.) Speaking of Twitter, follow me if you want http://twitter.com/dailybragger
