Completing (for now) my Web 2.0 Platform

Today, I introduce a new level of web 2.0 integration by incorporating social medial channels on every page of my website. Watch the short video I shot in my vlog section on this idea.
As many of you know, I relentlessly post videos on YouTube. However, you have to go to YouTube to find these videos or scour my site for the newest video that I have shot. Two things will rectify this encumbrance. First, the updates section will tell you when a new anything (video, text, section, etc.) has been posted with a direct link to it. Second, I will now have a link on every page to my YouTube videos. (Btw, another option is to subscribe to my videos on YouTube if you don’t mind an email sent to you that I have a new video shot and uploaded).
In addition, I have made a lot of changes to make this website a truly aggressive Web 2.0 platform, meaning fully integrating social media into this site with the incorporation of Facebook (a new group that I just created on Facebook dedicated to LFP’s shenanigans) that facilitates more easily my posting photos and other stuff that my staff and I are doing, e.g., thoughts that lie outside of my blog entries, vlogs, and forum postings. (Btw, you must register for Facebook to see the page). Twitter updates from my staff and me. (We’ll see how successful this is, but my staff is already getting crazy and loving to submit “tweets” [that is what short updates are called].) A direct link is also now displayed on every page to my podcasts (far right icon) that I publish in iTunes for your iPhone and iPod. Hopefully, these changes will encourage a broader sense of community, participation, and integration into what LFP has to offer our global tribe of followers.
Btw, as you probably would surmise, I really haven’t “completed” anything. This is just the beginning of the journey over the next 6 months and beyond.
