This isn’t very solid. The points brought forth are “known knowns” – as Donald Rumsfeld would say. The ideas are at the trailing edge of the Social Media landscape ~ say about 6-12 months old. Everybody in the industry has had this knowledge for months/years.
Bravo transparancy! Old news, another obvious point.
Video games? Fans don’t differentiate based on Brand in the traditional sense. There’s a more primal ideal there.
Advacating “blogging strategy – showing up in the conversation” meaning that you should taint honest message boards and comment sections. You shouldn’t tell your customers to be dishonest – even if its in a round about way.
“meet up”? 2004
twitter? please, I feel dumber for having wasted 5 minutes listening. Facebook has already killed twitter 2 months ago.
Come on Organic, we expect you to be the leaders. Is this guy a high school student?
and Met’s fan? ugh
I am dissapointed. Follow your own advice and delete this comment. We are watching to see how long it takes.

You can always tell when someone has arrived as a pundit when the start to attract haters. Bravo Chad!

That’s actually a link back to this page.
Maybe do a link on Technorati or Google Blogs with the name search?
Also, why do you guys use Typepad? Get a high school kid to hook you up with a proper Blog platform like MT, Wordpress, or Drupal. I think you are unintentionally letting the social media crowd know more about your company’s capabilities than you should.

Or you could address any of the points brought up. Dissapointing, as you seem to have one of the best voices on this blog

Keith-
Thanks for the compliments. From your tone, I wasn’t sure that you expected a response from me or Chad. It seemed to me that you just wanted to put Chad in his place, not start a dialogue. But I guess I am wrong, so sure, let’s talk.
I agree that Chad’s talk is not cutting edge, but you’re not being fair by evaluating it based on this standard.
This blog is for you and other early adopters, but it’s also for people like our many clients- mainstream business brands with middle-of-the-bell-curve customers. For them, Twitter and Second Life are indeed new, cutting edge, and scary. I think Chad’s podcast is pitched at a level that this audience can understand and relate to. I’m sorry that it’s too basic for you, and in that sense we have failed you- but finding the right level to pitch at is a big challenge for a general audience blog like ThreeMinds.
We want to reach influencers like you, but at the end of the day, our job is not be cutting edge, it’s to explain to our clients how the cutting edge has relevance to what’s going on in the vast mainstream. I don’t think you should assume that because Chad chooses to present trends in social media at an approachable level that this is the sum-total of his expertise.
As far as the specifics of the podcast, I leave the line-by-line explanation of his own comments to Chad. But you shouldn’t be surprised if he is reluctant to engage in a dialogue with you after your aggressive comments about his competence and his team.
