Hollywood2020 Looks at Causecast.org And What's New with the Green Carpet Crowd --

By Joyce Schwarz, hollywood2020.net, media futurist, speaker and consultant to emerging media and technology firms in Hollywood and beyond, [email protected]

   At Digital Hollywood this week I was fortunate enough to catch the panel by Causecst.org featuring Kate Stahnke, director of product development and Brian Sirgutz is the President of Causecast.org who developed the new HUFFINGTON POST section called IMPACT

 IMPACT new section on Huffington Post see more at www.causecast.com including other campaigns Causecast has created for the NFL and AARP etc.

CAUSECAST ENTERTAINMENT-Related cause marketing campaigns include one that seemed especially interesting called Stillerstrong you can see more examples of how new technology formats and business models are being used by Causecast and it's nonprofit and brand partners to delve into the future of philanthropy and sustainability at www.causecast.org

TO LIKE the group on fb go to: www.facebook.com/causecast and on Twitter: twitter.com/causecast

Stillerstrong, created by causecast.org

HOW DID CAUSECAST EVOLVE?  According to their website at www.causecast.org: Causecast was founded by activist and successful entrepreneur Ryan Scott in 2007. After successfully selling NetCreations, a company that invented and revolutionized opt-in e-mail marketing with the double opt-in process, Scott invested in multiple environmental and cause-centric organizations and companies. Once heavily involved in philanthropy, he realized what nonprofits needed most was technology and an online tool-set to raise awareness and increase funds to further their causes. Rather than donate to a handful of these organizations to try and solve their individual problems, Scott decided he'd develop Causecast to support a wide range of causes so they could all have the resources needed, and focus their attention and funds on the programs they were involved with in the field.

Advisory Board Members for Causecast include: Arianna Huffington, David Washington, Nolan Bushnell, Jason Calacanis and Larry Winokur.

MORE INFO TO FOLLOW: Joyce Schwarz has offered to meet with the Causecast team to see how her 20 year record in cause-related marketing can fit in with their plans for 2010 and beyond! Schwarz is probably best known for launching the MISSING KINDS ON THE MILK CARTON campaign for Ralphs Grocery Chain. But she has also done more than 200 other corporate/nonprofit events and community outreach programs onine and offline. The first online fundraiser ever done anywhere (to the best of our knowledge) was co-produced by Joyce Schwarz for the HUDSON RIVER PROJECT with John F.Kennedy Jr and Revlon Sponsorship by JCOM client IFNET back in 1996.

TALK MEDIA CONFERENCE & TALK SHOW BOOTCAMP IN FULL SWING IN MARINA DEL REY, CALIFORNIA

by Joyce Schwarz, bestselling author and Hollywood columnist blogging at Hollywood2020.net.

 Left to right books written by  MEDIA FUTURIST Joyce Schwarz include: MULTIMEDIA GATEWAY TO THE NEXT MILLENNIUM (Harcourt Brace, SUCCESSFUL RECAREERING, CAREER PRESS, CUTTING THE CORD: Pearson Publishing

    As a Media Futurist, it's always fascinating to see how the moving parts of Convergence are fitting together. Back in 1992 I wrote my first piece on the Future of Hollywood & Media called HOLLYWOOD2000 for InMotion (now FILM & VIDEO MAGAZINE) that's why I'm focusing in on the 2010 Talk Media Conference & Talk Show Bootcamp in this blog post to give you an idea why hundreds of Radio & TV talk show hosts and producers from across the country and around the globe have come to Marina Del Rey, CA this week.

According to the website for the TMC & TSBC event: the 2010 Talk Media Conference & Talk Show Boot Camp is designed to provide format-focused learning sessions and thought provoking speakers targeting Talk radio professionals and other related industry executives. Whether you are a News/Talk/Sports programmer, manager or on-air talent, TMC&TSBC 2010 offers new research, insights and the information needed to navigate the changes and challenges of Talk media today and tomorrow.
The splashy logo for the Talk Show Conference and bootcamp in Marina Del Rey only hints at the excitement about the future of talk going on at the Marriott Resort this week.

   So who put this event together? 'Hosted by longtime Talk Media journalist and NTS MediaOnline publisher/editor Al Peterson, Talentmasters president and Morning Mouth publisher Don Anthony, and respected broadcast and publishing executive and longtime publisher/CEO of R&R, Erica Farber.

   Check out the agenda for Saturday (today's event)TMC/TSBC conference:

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2010

8:30am -- Registration Opens

9:00-9:30am -- Continental Breakfast

9:30-10:30am -- General Session

"10 Guaranteed Ways To Make Money With Digital And Social Media"

It's great to have a Facebook page, a Twitter feed and an iPhone app. But are you generating revenue from your digital efforts? We'll send you home with 10 actionable ways to spark new revenue at little or no additional expense.

11:00am-12:15pm-- Concurrent Sessions

"The Match Game"

How does your show match up to some of the most powerful personalities ever. See how your show, or your station's talent stack up in this exclusive TMC/TSBC 2010 learning session.

"Conquering Talk's Next Frontier" 

The debate is long over as to whether or not Talk belongs on FM, with new converts debuting almost weekly. But is simply replicating the model that's worked for decades on AM the road to success on FM? Does FM Talk success mean turning out the lights at the AM down the hall? Will today's most successful AM hosts appeal to FM's younger cume? Will Talk on FM finally open the door to attracting more women? It's no longer a question of whether or not Talk is right for FM, it's how do you do FM Talk right ? 

12:30-2:00pm -- Luncheon

 

    NOTE Friday's luncheon event looks like it was great, we'll have to talk with colleague, Lisa Osborne, anchor and report for KFWB radio in Los Angeles to get her impressions of that session too: Here's what it included: Independently syndicated talker Dave Ramsey hosts an exclusive one-on-one chat with renowned economist and bestselling author Arthur Laffer. Peek into the future for media and America with the man dubbed "one of the century's greatest minds" at this very special event.

Hollywood2020 Updated Look at Google TV As of 10/3/10

by Joyce Schwarz, bestselling author and media futurist at hollywood2020.net   What I like best about the potential of Google TV (at least according to what has been announced in the Wall Street Journal today)see WSJ here is NBC's CNBC Real-time that allows Google TV users to track stocks and access news alongside the CNBC live broadcasts which appears to be the same or similar to the Google Android app for CNBC.
INTERACTIVE TV -- As a member of the ITV Alliance for years -- it's thrilling to see these interactive TV apps evolve for the masses rather than just in trials.

(Blogger note from the time I started this post (took two phone calls, processed a registration for an upcoming class and ushered out the cleaning crew for my condo this article went up on the net) Talk about prescient!

Google TV: The Future of Interactive Television? ABC News - Neal Karlinsky, Christine Brouwer - ‎1 hour ago‎ Inside a top-secret lab in Silicon Valley, programmers are putting the finishing touches on a new product called Google TV. The company says this new device ...

TEASER PAGE UP NOW:

Want to peek at Google TV -- here's the teaser page:googleteaser  where you can start to play around a bit with some of the apps etc.

ADVERTISING?? Now the challebenge is distributiion, advertising and the business model for Google TV -- where is that bleeding need?  And Logitech's new box -- which is fascinating only because after taking numerous meetings with Logitech in the past (myself and with clients like Primesense.com)  -- they didn't seem interested in diversifying beyond accessories? So now they are beginning to wake up to the new flowering multiplatform world.

WILL ANYONE HAVE A TV per se?  I still wonder if the word TV isn't an anachronism -- will the new screenagers children even use that word? Sounds like icebox to me or 8 Track or Hi-Fi -- another era.

GOOGLE TV = B2B ???

Personally I like GOOGLE TV as a public space app -- bars, clubs, campuses, airports etc. B2B, airlines & more -- seems perfect for that. Teleconferencing next-gen? The deal with Twitter looks good. Three years ago at Digital Hollywood I said -- give me my Twitter.tv NOW! Duh??
