Digital Transformation, Industry 4.0, Tesla, maker, and more...
SummaryListen to the panel discussion with Chief Richard Price of the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Adriel Hampton of Gov 2.0 Radio and technology blogger Louis Gray. We discussed the latest Fire Department iPhone app (soon to be on other platforms) and it’s gov 2.0, open source and life saving potential.
You might have read my post a few weeks ago about the “Chain of Life 2.0“. Since then this story has received (rightfully so, and certainly with little to do with my post!) a lot of coverage. Yesterday Rich and the app were featured on Press:Here on NBC. He was joined by Ben Parr of Mashable and Kym McNicholas contributor to Forbes. This Wednesday night he will join me, Adriel Hampton and Louis Gray on my Blog Talk Radio program to talk more about the app, and the implication of this app in tech, open source and gov 2.0. We will be live at 7PM PST and I would be happy to relay questions you might have for Rich, Adriel or Louis about this incredibly exciting new application.
Check out this video to learn more, and please join us Wednesday as we discuss the Worlds First Location Based Life Saving Mobile App.
(Disclosure: The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection district is a client, but I am not being paid to promote the app I am doing that because I personally support what they are doing.)
Since I’ve loved and worked with or used technology for most of my adult life, I knew that I would enjoy chatting with Louis again (the last time was with @egoldstein and it was about Amplify – listen here). I was first introduced to Louis in 2009 when I started following him on Twitter and occasionally reading his blog. During the interview Louis really lays out what it takes to be successful at blogging, I think there is something for everyone there. We also discussed his involvement as VP of Marketing at My6sense. It was obvious that Louis is excited to be a part of the company. I’ve installed it on my Android tonight and the first impression is very good, the UI is incredibly clean and stunning on my Motorola Droid phone. I will share more on it once I get some time using it. I’d rather you listen to the podcast then get the blow by blow here. I will just say if you have any interest in technology, new media, etc, this will be a great show to listen to. Louis has a very high level of knowledge and one thing I noticed is in spite of not having prepared any Q&A for this (we spoke for 5-6 minutes before the interview – and much of that small talk/sound check) he responds quickly to every question. I didn’t realize it until I was reflecting back on the interview while writing this.
Also I asked Louis to share some resources that people will want to check out, here are some people and blogs you might want to watch or connect with:
