The AR (Augmented Reality) Revolution will come not with a bang but a tape measure. At least, that seems to be the lesson so far from ARKit, Apple’s new augmented-reality platform.

ARKit lets developers build AR apps, which integrate digital experiences into the physical world via iPhone or iPad, a la Pokémon Go. 

Hold on, is this a social business newsletter, or one on augmented reality?

Um, yes. There's some merging going on.

Think about the fact, for instance, that Mark Zuckerberg has made very public how important Augmented Reality (AR) is in the Facebook roadmap.

And on the bigger picture, who knows where AR will take us, not just in terms of fun and games, but in the way business operates? Exciting, no? 

Expect more items in Social Business Bites on AR, Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Recently, LinkedIn began rolling out its new video feature via its mobile app, allowing users to finally be able to record and upload up to 10 minutes of native video. Like other platforms, videos on LinkedIn can be shot both vertically and horizontally.

Better late than never, this development from LinkedIn. Its being rolled out progressively and I regret I don't have it on my phone yet, but I am eager to get it.

As the article points out, this is so right for B2B communication. Apparently it comes with some very helpful, analytics (which he calls "data driven analytics" - is there any other kind? I don't know).



Yes, you know you can use up to 30 hashtags on any Instagram post, but who has the time and creativity to dream those up just for one photo? Not me.

And you may be looking for some extra tags for posting on some other platform.

A nifty online tool to the rescue - All Hashtag. Free, online, nothing to download.


Our Hashtag Generator generates 30 top random hashtags from the cloud.
Insert a word to generate 30 Hashtags for Instagram and other social networks. Instagram allows max. 30 Hashtags/Post.

I typed in <socialmedia> (without the arrows) and almost instantaneously got this:

#socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #socialmediatips #socialmediastrategy #socialmediamanager #socialmediamanagement #socialmediamarketingtips #socialmediatip #socialmediatraining #socialmediamom #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediaagency #socialmediaguru #socialmedianetworking #socialmedialife #socialmediaconsultant #socialmediaconsulting #socialmediaaddict #socialmediatrainer #socialmediaqueen #socialmediamarketer #socialMediaInfluencer #SocialMediaSuccess #socialmediamarketingtip #socialmedianews #socialmediaexperts #socialmediaspecialist #socialmediastrategist #socialmediainfluence

Neat? I think so. Of course, it's up to us to check that all of the suggestions are appropriate.

Latest Podcast from the Let's Talk Leadership Show

In this episode of Let’s Talk Leadership, I’m in conversation with Deb Brown, from Webster, Iowa. Deb shares stories and advice on social media, working and living in a small town and creating the kind of community you want to live in. You might recognize her online as @debworks.

She grew up in a town of 141 people, Geneva, Iowa. She loves to tell stories and share real world examples of how people are changing their small town into the kind of place the community wants to live, work and play in.

Could my laser coaching service help your business, or that of someone you know?

Are you finding it a challenge to get really clear on a business or career opportunity?

That's not unusual.

Laser coaching is designed to help you get the resolution you need.

Laser coaching works on the principle that there is a truth in every situation, a truth that may not always be obvious. Laser coaching brings that truth to the surface and supports the process of facing it square on, and then deciding on appropriate action.

After a laser coaching session with me, business coach ​​​​​​​Marla Tabaka said this

In a single, thirty-minute conversation, Des redirected some concerns I had about my business model, introduced me to several valuable resources, and brought clarity to an issue that I’ve been struggling with for months. Yes, all of this in thirty-minutes!

If you are ready to get the clarity you need to be able to take decisive action, check out my laser coaching service at this link
