Locations Welcome to the Weekly Roundup, a new feature of the Projectline blog. We know that the week can move pretty fast. Since Fridays sometimes offer a chance for a breather, we wanted to share links to some of the articles we liked this week. As always, we’d love to get your take, so feel free to leave a comment or chat us up on Twitter. Happy reading and have a great weekend! Continue reading
A few Projectliners put together this video short to share some of our “talents” that aren’t related—at least not directly!—to marketing and business intelligence. Just don’t go expecting the rest of us to break into song like Kris Orlowski and Brady Millard-Kish!

How long do you wait to hold the door open for somebody behind you? Are they far enough away so the door will easily close before they reach it, or are they at that distance where the door closes right at the very moment they reach it and you end up beating yourself up all day over it?

I am attending the New Media Expo in Las Vegas for 2 1/2 days of interesting presentations from a variety of speakers. So far I’ve heard from Michael Geoghegan, who produces Disneyland’s podcast, Gary Vaynerchuck, podcaster for Wine Library TV, and Scott Whitney, a professional podcaster.
One common theme through their presentations was to make sure that recordings are spontaneous, passionate, and emotional. Vaynerchuck shoots his video for tv.winelibrary.com in 20 minutes in one take every day without editing. Geoghegan admits that he doesn’t know much about Disneyland. When he learns a new Disneyland fact in his podcast he’s genuinely excited and interested, and it shows up in the podcast. Whitney coaches his clients not to read from a script when he interviews them, and will stop an interview to encourage interviewees to speak from the heart.
