Cathy Brooks and Susan Bratton
Next up in the #CommunityPowered podcast series featuring Susan Bratton of DishyMix, is Cathy Brooks principal of Other Than That Consulting and head of content and bizdev at Seesmic. By way of background, Cathy has spent more than two decades working in and around media and communications beginning in 1982 with a job ripping wire copy (yes they actually still had wire copy machines) at the largest all news radio station in Philadelphia, PA. All these years later, Cathy’s experience as a Journalist encompasses reporting, writing, editing, broadcast management, and most recently media training and strategy development. She also writes/broadcasts at the Other Than That blog.
During her conversation with Susan, Cathy touches on a point that is near and dear to my heart… namely that “social media is only as social as the people who are in it. And so, that means you actually need to see people in carbon-based life form.” Cathy also notes the importance of “quality” in terms of “quantity” in terms of those that engage with you and/or read your blogs or Twitter stream. Please note that Cathy had less of a voice at SXSW than I did so if you find it too hard to hear her,a transcript of the podcast is here).
In addition to reading her on the Other Than That blog, you can follow Cathy on Twitter at @CathyBrooks
