Funny, but a project involving me and being on video has been brewing for over a month – something similar to Samantha Ettus interviews “The Social Media Sommelier” Gary Vaynerchuk – the idea that Gary Vaynerchuk likes to talk about Wine, and Social Media, but like he’s said, everyone needs to find their own way. I’m not focusing so much on his Gary Vaynerchuk’s new media ventures, but just the idea of talking about what your enthusiastic about.
What @garyvee does with his frank videos and talks, is what we all like hearing, but probably can’t do – and it’s come to my awareness there are other ways we can be authentic, and be out there in regards to Social Media. Gary Vaynerchuk’s interview was pretty good, too – and
That’s what the video session today with Juliette Powell, is really, all about.
I feel passionately about Art, it informs my Web Analytics, I tend to look for patterns in the data I pull - but the ability to pick out patterns, comes from my Art Background – and for me, Analytics and Art don’t need to be separate – they complement each other.
Certainly, as a Web Analyst, I can also be larger than that, and often written and spoken about Social Media and Art, even Spirituality – and I haven’t ever thought of my painting, or Art, itself, as much different than Web Analytics -because they both deal with Perception and Truth.
NOTE: If your going to view my video interview – use a headset – if you have one – the sound will be much, much better.
So …. last night, I spent a few hours with my friend, Juliette Powell, talking about just that – Art, Social Networks and Web Analytics - but the Analytics part isn’t on tape. I made a playlist of the videos – I noticed one was still processing, or maybe, isn’t fully working – so here’s all the videos in case you want to look at them, one by one:
The last two videos, I took myself, the first four, Juliette Powell filmed me.
And speaking about Truth, I did my own version – a painting of it- finished it last weekend – and worked on it, on and off, for the last 5 or 6 weeks.

In terms of Social Networking, specifically, I wanted to throw out the idea that Art can provide a model for Social Network Relationships – like how about this….
Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art – Bon: The Magic Word Exhibition
What’s this image if not a “Social Network”? Put yourself in the middle, your closer friends in the circle surrounding you (each playing a role – don’t you notice close people in your life playing certain “roles” much as the figures in this ancient Himalayan Bon painting, do.
Then you have your contacts above you – and those below – they’re roughly the same size (those below) which sorta could represent the “weak” bonds that Juliette Powell writes about in 33 Million People in the Room that I reviewed several weeks back at Webmetricsguru.com – right here.
Anyway, some of my talk is very frank, transparent, and goes into other subjects outside the focus of Webmetricsguru.com – but I’ve never let that stand in the way of posting good content – since I feel the content I have is really good – and some of it applies to Analytics and certainly, to Social Media, I decided to pen my thoughts here and make them tie in more closely with Analytics.
Just want to close out this post by observing how much “convergence” was taking place at Search Engine Strategies this week – Social Media, Search Engine Marketing and Web Analytics have de-facto, merged; while the conference is called “Search Engine Strategies” it’s really more the intersection between Social Media, Search and Analytics -and so, who can say that Art, Social Networks and Web Analytics are also, not converging.

Well, it’s not the whole talk, but the first 5 minutes of it, from last weeks’ Social Media Jungle conference in New York City, where I spoke along with Leticia Colon on Leveraging Social Contacts - Marshall Sponder & Leticia E. Colon
The video is care of Bill Cammack.
Also, here’s the embedded presentation in case you want to look at it
