143 days. That’s more than 20 weeks and almost five months. My last day on-air during my past life was Aug. 28, 2011 and to be honest, I sort of miss talking on camera. 
My friend Pete Thamel told me back in our Syracuse days that I should stick with writing, but I never thought I was very good at it. And even though I never felt I was all that great in front of a camera either, I’ve always been more comfortable as a talker. I’ll still write some blogs in this space, but I’d rather talk most things out. So starting with this post, we’re going to try something that mixes my former life with my current life.
Introducing our new video blog — “Spiracle Buzz.” Each episode will feature a “guest” and topics will mostly hit on what’s buzzing in Social Media. We’ll talk to athletes, brand managers, developers, members of the media, all with the goal of trying to give unique insight into how they’re using Social Media.
We’ll tinker with the format as we learn by recording more episodes, but for now, we’ll strive to get you in and out quickly. We’ll keep it at five questions and hopefully no more than 10 minutes. It’ll be part interview, part conversation and sometimes part argument.
First up: We’re keeping it local. Brad Panovich is the chief weather wizard at WCNC, the NBC affiliate here in Charlotte, NC. Brad could also be the area’s biggest Google+ fan. So what does he make of Google’s somewhat controversial “Search, Plus Your World” release?
