New Media Landscapes Presentation
[SUMMARY—Off again.]
(GBR) Heading up to Wigan in the north west of the UK to deliver a second speaking gig this week. The conference is for teachers in the local area and is entitled ''The learner, the 21st century curriculum, the technology & you!'—a jointly organised day by Wigan & Leigh College and Wigan Council.
After researching leading presenters in the new media and i-generation arena I booked DK from mediasnackers to come and speak to an audience of over 100 teaching staff to illustrate the changing way our learners interact and learn. To say that DK blow the audience away would not be an underestimation. He instantly connected with the audience and captivated and engaged them for the period of his presentation. His style was relaxed yet incredibly knowledgeable and professional. After giving DK an initial brief about the day, his presentation delivered a powerful message that had a distinct WOW factor specifically meeting the brief and audiences needs. Mediasnackers have set the bar high for others to follow. I look forward to working with DK and mediasnackers again and hopefully very soon.
Ian Green, Product Development Manager, Wigan & Leigh College
UPDATE: Check out the young peoples podcasts from the day.

[SUMMARY—Quotes which illustrate.]
(WORLD) MediaSnackers are being served more and more ways to snack on their chosen media than ever. It's hard to differentiate between companies and start-ups enabling snacking or the snacking trends driving media platform development, but here are a couple of quotes from the 'experts' to sum it all up for any 'MediaSnacker-virgins':
The BBC and Channel 4 will initially use the Bebo network to promote their shows using short clips. Because it allows them to embed their own "media players" within the website, they are also likely to show full-length programmes in future.
Bebo allowing a mashup of old and new media in short-video form.
The connected consumer. There are four major driving forces: Digitization, Convergence, Media Snacking and Social Networking.
Duncan Waddle, VP of WDW PR speaking at the PRSA conference.
Short-form online video is a new genre of entertainment well-suited to today's pace of life, enabling fans to enjoy a 'media snack' whenever and wherever they like. The 'Director's Cut' channel features some of the best original content in this new genre, short videos created and nominated by members of the vibrant Metacafe community.
Erick Hachenburg, CEO of Metacafe.
