FiremanRich End of Year (2010) Review

The 2010 Year of being online Blogging, YouTubing, Tweeting, and Audiobooing for me has been a good fulfilling year of fun, as well as a year that has been interesting and knowledgeable in what other had to say or express. I guess I can throw Facebook into the mix also, but I’m still not fully convinced that Facebook is all that it’s been made to be when compared to other online social media platforms. I’m still keeping an open mind about Facebook though. At any rate, if it wasn’t fun and interesting of doing what I’m doing on the internet I wouldn’t be doing it, so I’m still here with my presents on the internet that started with my blog Tioga Fire Protection and Fire Prevention.

Since creating the Tioga Fire Protection and Fire Prevention on Blogger I have started a second blog this year called FiremanRich: Different Various Subjects To Include Fire Protection And Fire Prevention over on WordPress.com to be able to write & post on subjects other then “Fire Safety,” though my main reason for blogging is for the interest I have in fire protection & fire prevention subjects. It’s been a good part of my life and I think it’s always a good thing to share information that will keep one safe. I’ve even branched out even still to where you can find FiremanRich on HubPages which are interesting to do if I find a particular subject to write/post about to a place in a different online format other than the typical blog posting. HubPages are fun to do also.

On the YouTube front I have the TFPFP Channel but also started a second YouTube channel which would be the RichTVTioga Channel that has a pretty good video intro. Think I need to work on a intro for the TFPFP Channel in 2011, :: makes a note, intro for tfpfp youtube ::. Doing the YouTubes have been great fun and having the second channel gives a flexibility to doing YouTubes where again one channel is for fire safety/protection subjects and the other channel to branch out with different subject matter. Plus on RichTVTioga Channel my good friend & pal Max can appear as my side kick.

Though I don’t have the big number of subscribers on the YouTube channels as compared to other YouTubers, for me it’s not about numbers as it is about the fun in doing them. With a total of 25 YouTube videos done from both my channels for 2010 I have had a lot of fun and plan on continuing doing the YouTubes in 2011. I do get some views and knowing that they are being viewed and receiving comments makes it worth the time & effort.

Here’s a video expressing some additional thoughts and outlooks as we begin to enter into the New Year of 2011:

I sincerely wish everyone an awesome New Year! I’ll end this 2010 year by saying to you all. . .

May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!

Best of Luck to you in 2011!

Happy New Year! : )

Gnomedex 2010: Attended At A Distance. . .

Before the event even started I looked at the possibility of attending.

Cost to get in the door, no problem. Cost for a plane ticket and hotel room, well....slightly tight but doable.

It's when it came down to the "time" involved, it wasn't going to work. "Time" became the stopper in attending. This wasn't going to be a total wash though, because with today's technology and social media formats that are online via the internet, I felt I could follow Gnomedex 2010 in a scaled down sort of small way. I even made a YouTube video on the RichTVTioga YouTube channel of what I was going to do. Here's the video...

So, I was all geared up to pay close attention to the goings on at Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle WA via all the online internet tool that were available. Well, I wasn't disapointed. The #gnomedex Twitter feed was good as well as following individuals on Twitter who attended. The YouTube videos that were recorded by individuals attending were great also. All you have to do is do a Goggle Search for "Gnomedex" or head over to the lockergnome's Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/lockergnome#p/f on YouTube and you'll see a wealth of videos to watch.

The two online tools of Twitter & YouTube alone were great on keeping up, again in a small way, with what was happening at #gnomedex. It's when you add in the factor that Chris Pirillo had all the event's presenters/speakers that took to the stage streamed LIVE feed through UStream that it made you feel that you were actually there from a distance. Now Gnomedex 2010 is a event toted as "the Conference of Inspiration and Influence - where we showcase how Technology is changing the world!" The event's web page gives a very good breakdown and idea of all the happenings in Seattle WA for the two day event. http://www.gnomedex.com/ I think that Gnomedex once again accomplish exactly what it was billed as.

Now there was thousands of thousands of videos and pictures taken at Gnomedex but there was a certain picture that was quickly making the rounds at the conference as well as on Twitter...

The title of the famous photo is "How geeks go to the bathroom at #Gnomedex." You talk about a Kodak Moment! lol

It wasn't till later on the final day, at the sing along of the Gnomedex 2010 Song, that it was reveailed who belonged to the iPad on the stall floor and who was the owner in the stall. lol

Here's Derek K. Miller playing & singing the Gnomedex 2010 song with all attending singing along also...

This is the #Gnomedex conference that had a action pack lineup of speakers that keeped you engadged even while checking that Twitter feed on the TweetDeck.

Robert Scoble, @Scobleizer, a attender stated about Gnomedex, "This is the first conference where everyone is on a computer and using it during the conference and typing on it while the conference is going on."

Mattew Inman, @Oatmeat, one of the highlighted speakers/presenters said at the events after party, "I thought it was a PR Marketing conference and I was puzzling surprised it was just a big geek mix."

For me, I attended Gnomedex 2010 where there was a distance from Up-State New York to Seattle of about 2300 miles. But, because of todays technology as well as a forward thinking person, I as well as others attended "From Afar" virtually via the LIVE UStream feed. I was at #Gnomedex and I say Thank-You Chris Pirillo for providing the LIVE feed.

I felt like I was there & I was there at #Gnomedex 2010! : )

"We'll E You Later!"

"Double Dipping Twitter Tweets No More!"

Anyone that has been reading & checking the TFPFP blog here you might have noticed that a slight change taking place over the last few weeks. That's the nice thing that I like about blogging and that is, it's pretty flexible in being creative and changing it up when you feel the need to. Ok now it was back a few months, on the April 18th blog post here at TFPFP that I started posting
"Twitter Weekly Updates" and "Social Media Updates" from my Twitter account @FiremanRich and I stated the following...

April 18th blog post: "Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-04-18":

With my second year of blogging started, I figure it wouldn’t hurt to place the tweets I made over on Twitter for the week as a weekly blog post here on TFPFP. There’s other bloggers that do it from what I see and it gives one another reference spot to check out those tweets of interest. CONTENT, CONTENT! That’s what blogging is all about. CONTENT is KING!

If you blog and it becomes to rigid to where you start getting the feeling "Oh my God I have a deadline to meet," then your not having fun in doing the blogging process in my opinion. If you differ from that view then I can respect that, but for me something wasn't feeling right with my blogging. After looking over the pass two months of doing the blog thing I started to not like what I was seeing. All those "Social Media Updates" were looking like alot of CLUTTER! The "Twitter Weekly Updates" were looking more and more also like I was "Double Dipping" with my Twitter posts.

What do I mean by "Double Dipping," well here's a very good YouTube video of that classic Seinfeld double dipped chip scene that sort of explains what I mean and how I feel about "Double Dipping Twitter Tweets". . .



For me though after two months of doing weekly "Social Media Updates" in blog posts, because I saw other other bloggers doing it and I thought it would be neat to do for the extra blog content as my reason, I've decided to stop doing it. No more Double Dipping Twitter Tweets and or Clutter Twitter Tweets! Besides on the sidebar of my blog there's a Twitter Update section showing my last five current Tweets that I made and that is more then enough. Remember, you can follow me on Twitter @FiremanRich where I'll be doing the "Tweet on Tweeter & Have Fun!" thing.


Today, the 4th of July, is the United States of America's Birthday and the Good Old U.S.A. is a young 234 years old.

I wish every one a great & enjoyable Independence Day holiday.

When you BBQ ensure you do it safely and keep it fire safe so nobody gets burned.

If your shooting of any type of fireworks do so it safely. The previous blog post of the NFPA's press release has warnings as well as some very important & informative warnings when using fireworks.

Myself along with family will be watching the professionals fire off those fireworks. Not only safe but more enjoyable.

Keep it Fire Safe All & Learn Not To Burn!

Something New On Facebook!

I was working a long 12 hour day yesterday and I’m still catching up on the news of the Facebook’s new privacy controls that rolled out yesterday (Wednesday, May 26, 2010).

An explanation of these new privacy controls can be reviewed & checked out over on http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php

Here’s a YouTube video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talking about the new privacy controls . . .



Wanted to and thought it was the right thing to do to follow-up on my “To Facebook or Not Facebook?” blog post with one that indicates to me that the people of Facebook are listening to the customer and user. Plus it’s current up-to-date information that those that use Facebook need to know about. It’s coming straight from the CEO’s month too in the YouTube, so it seems to me their serious as well as, at least, trying to help to make things simpler. You’ll still have the critics that won’t be satisfied with Facebook's new privacy protections. If you’re not satisfied then move on and that is always an option if you’re not happy with something.

I’ll be checking the new privacy controls over the next few days and I hope you do so also.

Oh, you can also follow Tioga Fire Protection and Fire Prevention on Facebook at . . .

I’m go to continue to use, post, and have fun on Facebook. Also to understand how usefully Facebook can be and has been thus far in maintaining contact with family, friends, co-workers, and the possibility to meet new friends on this social network program. So if your doing the Facebook do so safely and enjoy the fun that the platform has to offer you.

I’m even reading the book “The Accidental Billionaires” about the founding of Facebook to better understand it. Maybe that’ll be a future blog post for a book review.

Have a good weekend all and I’ll be seeing you out there on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and on the Blog Sphere.
