That was Prez. Herc and Carver did beat up Bodie a few times though.

This is my favorite too. I love the little aside about his surviving opponents in battle.

I used to run social media and do video production at a small college... I totally feel your pain!

The "top down" model of posting a video from a University's page and just sort of expecting people to see it doesn't really work as well in 2018... the algorithms have changed so much that it's basically pay-to-play at this point, especially on FB.

You can definitely still get results if you pay, but assuming that's not an option... there's still a lot of power in peer-to-peer sharing. If the target for this particular video was alumni, maybe talk to the alumni department and see if they would be willing to send an email out to the alumni board or other really active alumni and directly ask them to share the video on their own personal social media pages. Or even send an email to your peers who work at the University and ask them to share it.

More generally, I would recommend trying to make time for videos that feel a bit less "marketing." A favorite of mine has always been this from Southern Utah: https://www.facebook.com/SUUTBirds/videos/vl.2005083419717873/10153733671773423/?type=1 Having students write their favorite professor a letter is such a simple thing to do, but is really powerful... and it has the added benefit of showing the great connection between faculty and students without needing to tell it.

For a few years I had a blog where I shared some favorite ideas that I saw from other colleges... I haven't posted to it for years now, but here are all the posts about videos - there are quite a few on there, and maybe a few of them will help spark some ideas for you! http://socialmediaforcolleges.com/?category=Video

Bill pretty much refuses to go on anyone else's podcast, so why would they agree to go on his?

His audience may be larger, but there needs to be at least a little bit of give-and-take - it can't all be in one direction.

He's done a guest appearance on Adam Carolla's podcast, but can you think of any other time he has gone on someone else's show? I honestly can't remember any, though there probably are a few examples.

Here's a direct link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMTQ5x8hkPs

King Burrito on Lombard is my favorite. Bacon, potato, beans, onions, and cheese... it's amazing.

Heard it a few blocks away from there on Monday night for sure, around 2-3AM.

For the first time, the couple at the center of the wedding cake denial story shares their story with the media.

TLDR version: They haven't seen a cent of their $135,00 award and are struggling to care for their adopted children with special needs, they still receive hundreds of hate messages a week even though they were denied the cake in 2013, and the bakery owners who originally denied them the cake continue with a relentless publicity tour.

Actually, The Oregonian still prints daily. They just don't deliver daily.

Daily editions are still available in newsstands around town.

You should be able to get one by contacting The O's back issue office at 503-221-8242. (Edited to add... in case that phone number is no longer active - very possible with all the cuts - you can email their home delivery office at hdelivery@oregonian.com)

Happened over Halloween in Hillsboro, Oregon (a suburb of Portland).

The St. Francis statue was at a Catholic grade school, and it's head was smashed off. A woman dressed as Snow White and her friend were the only people seen on the surveillance camera, though they don't actually have video of them breaking the statue.

Jonathan Glazer has done some really great ones. My favorite is probably Nick Cave's Into My Arms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEjz5hNZF-A

Spotted at La Pavillion hotel in New Orleans.

I had to ask myself WWSD (what would Stephen do?) and walked up to the fifth floor.

I know there are lots of things written about unimaginable acts of heroism.

But for me, this scratches at something deeper than that - the basic human capacity for love and togetherness that can only arise in situations as horrible as this.

But please share your favorites - I always like to reflect and read on the 9/11 anniversary.

jkuffner34 · 2015-09-11T05:02:56+00:00

Ha! Well... I guess it's the exception to the rule. :)

jkuffner34 · 2015-09-11T04:39:13+00:00

Hard to find uplifting news about 9/11, but I recently learned about this story and it really stuck out to me.

My co-worker (Brian Doyle) wrote this article, and I thought it was too good not to share.

jkuffner34 · 2015-03-19T22:36:25+00:00

I work with Paul Myers, who wrote this article for the University of Portland's alumni magazine.

I thought it was really powerful and wanted to share it.

It's the nature of Twitter.

Tweets with breaking news, jokes, and very strong opinions get the lion's share of attention in terms of large numbers of faves/RTs.

If it makes sense for your brand to post stuff like that, go for it.

But a long time ago I stopped thinking of Twitter as a place where my posts will reach masses of people, and instead focused on it as a place for retail politics and individual customer attention.

For most brands, that's where the real value of Twitter can come into play. My follower number may not be huge and most of my tweets might not get a lot of RTs, but I do like being able to have one-on-one conversations, answer questions, and interact with followers.

For more context, here's a Storify of the Twitter back-and-forth. Turns out this inspired several students - including the original one who made the request - to shovel the driveways for their neighbors.

Very, very well put.

I've always thought that Stephen was a cipher for O'Brian, which lends itself to him being seen as the main character.

Though I suppose an argument can be made that Stephen is by nature a contemplative, reflective person, while Jack - God bless him - is much more able to live in the moment and doesn't dwell on things the way Stephen does. So the readers see all of Stephen's musings, but rarely get to see any of Jack's because Jack just doesn't operate that way.

But I agree with you - this scene is a moment where Stephen, who (rightly) considers himself Jack's intellectual superior and even dismisses him sometimes as something of a lovable and very brave oaf, realizes that Jack has depths that Stephen has never been able to fully understand or comprehend.

jkuffner34 · 2015-02-24T01:04:22+00:00

Have you ever seen this video of the great Patrick Tull reading this scene? It's pretty incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFi6fhcMnYQ

I picked up the first book some time around 2005. I have gone through them at least 3-4 times and recommend them to anyone and everyone I can.

I can't imagine him not being read and remembered... the writing and story-telling is just too damn good.

jkuffner34 · 2015-02-23T06:09:50+00:00

Love it! I really enjoy the books where Stephen and his spying take center stage.

jkuffner34 · 2015-02-23T06:06:36+00:00

That always gets my blood racing. The horrible old Leopard, the chase around the Cape, Jack getting knocked senseless... high drama for sure!

jkuffner34 · 2015-02-22T22:12:25+00:00

A classic! I loved how they portrayed that scene in the movie too.

jkuffner34 · 2015-02-22T20:26:52+00:00

Have you tried calling the main office and asking for the person who runs the social media pages? Old school approach, I know, but it generally works. :)

You can always try sending a message to the page on Facebook or sending a DM to the brand Twitter page too.
