We have seen such an amazing growth in the tools and ways to communicate our thoughts and ways to influence in 2024. Let's take tonights cross point and talk about it! Tonight I will be looking for your thoughts on the impact. November 5th USA. News Newspapers elections NPR article https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190383104/new-study-shows-just-how-facebooks-algorithm-shapes-conservative-and-liberal-bub https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj7023 The advent of social media forever changed how we consume news. At least half of Americans rely on it for news, and Facebook (owned by parent company Meta) is the most popular. Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms are funded through advertisements and generate more revenue when users spend more time on their platforms. To make platforms alluring and increase screen time, tech companies operate on business models that incentivize algorithms that are designed to elevate eye-catching content to the top of users’ feeds—content that captures attention and may go “viral” by stimulating “engagement” through comments, likes, and resharing.

From trending hashtags to viral tweets, social media isn’t just an accessory in politics anymore — it’s a microphone, a platform and, at times, a battleground. “Behind the Blue” Lindsey Piercy (Public Relations and Strategic Communications)

Tonight I wanted to remind everyone that on November 3rd we set the clocks back one hour and that means my Live Stream will be an hour latter next Tuesday. As we Fall Back the clocks one hour I thought why not talk about Replay with Hyperdecks. It's a bit tricky because I will have to Live Stream from my ATem Mini Pro so I have the ability to make Macros in my Extreme ISO. This should be fun. Just to make the replays more fun I have a special Guest Ratso to add some good stuff to replay. Are we realy saving Daylight in the Spring?

Join me tonight for a look at the CAM LINK video Capture Device compared to the ATEM EXTREME SIde by SIde. Both capture video from a DSLR so how do they compare. Is the CAM LINK by Elgato a viable way to capture high quality video for todays Live Streams, Video Conferences, and recording videos for Social Media uploads? With tools like OBS, Stream Yard, EVMUX, Prism Live and vMIX. Just to name a few. All of these choices are available for PC and some on MAC. Why a CAM LINK then. Well if you just want a single view using a DSLR or other quality camera or camcorder then having a tool to convert HDMI into USB computer video is a perfect tool. You computer and software then can record/Encode/Stream. Just make sure your computer can handle all that you are thowing at it. Following tonight's Shorter Live STream 4-5PM I will be hosting a ZOOM Town Hall at 5:15PM (PST) so to join that ZOOM email me if you have it requesting a link before 5:15PM.
