Ed had a great time presenting a brand new Story meets Social Media mash up presentation at the Sarasota Design Summit last week at Ringling College of Art and Design.

Take a flip through Ed’s slides to see how Modern Day Storytellers are using Social Media mediums to grow their organization’s brands.

Storytelling is an incredibly important part of the way our societies have always handled change, explained the unexplainable and entertained themselves — this presentation provides an interesting overview of how the fundamentals of storytelling and character development are alive and well even in this digital age.

    From David A:

    I’m one of the founders of http://heekya.com and I wanted to mention our application as a great web/social media tool for storytelling.

    It’s simple — everyone has a story, and Heekya wants to be the place where those stories are told.

    You can:
    -add photos
    -add video
    -add text
    -add audio
    and publish that story and share it with your friends, family, and the world.

    We also add a few things to your story to make it even more compelling:

    context: add time, location, or topical context to your story and

    connections: the ability to copy or clone a story and tell it from a separate vantage point.

    Please feel free to send me an e-mail if you have any questions — we’re soon entering our initial user testing stages and would love to hear your feedback.
