Name that show

As is the custom here at fusedlogic, we’re evolving yet again.  I’m excited to announce the creation of a brand new radio show on a local station.  I’m not naming the station at the moment as we still have a few things to negotiate.  That said, I don’t anticipate things will take long to complete.  Being the host of a new radio show that’s all about social media is a huge responsibility and tough task, one which I take very seriously and cannot accomplish alone.  More on that in a minute.

What will the show be about?

Educating the general public about all things social media will be the primary purpose.  We’ll also delve into closely related topics such as Government 2.0 and other key trends and opportunities that you’re a part of.  The objective is to learn and share about this exciting area of Internet activity.

Let’s talk content

We’d really like to make the show about you and how you engage within the social web, not only here in the Edmonton region but also across Canada and beyond.  So a large amount of the content will be describing and interpreting the things that you do and say while using your favourite social technologies and tools.  All will be recognized as being equal.  Whether you’re a full-time blogger who is also a mom, a photographer who tweets or a business developing cool Web 2.0 apps, doing something interesting within social is all that it would take to be considered for the show.  We’ll focus on the business side of social as well of course.  The do’s and don’t's and everything in between.  There will be technology reviews, interviews and special in studio guests.  We’ll cover recent developments and announcements too.  Your show ideas will play a large part on how things unfold.

We need a name.

What value would a show about social media have if the audience didn’t contribute in the making of it?  So, we’d like to ask you for your help before we even get started.  We need your help with naming the show.  There are a few show name ideas floating around but we would really appreciate your input.

Please offer your ideas and “name that show!“

Important: By submitting or suggesting a show name idea, you agree to let us use the name free and clear without compensation. If we use a show name as submitted by an online audience member then we’d definitely like to thank-you for helping us out by acknowledging you on the first show as the person who submitted the idea.  In particular, I’ll mention your twitter handle, website and blog if you have one too. You’ll get full credit for naming the show on air and the first coffee mug we produce for the show with the new name will be given to you.

Where to submit?

I’d like to suggest that we use futureedmonton.ca then we can track the top 10 name submissions in the comment section based on votes. If you make the top 10, we thought we’d give each of you a special coffee mug from the show (once they’re produced) just for submitting and participating in this exercise.  We can use Twitter for idea exchange and a hashtag for the discussion similar to #yegshow.  I like futureedmonton.ca because it has a simple submission and voting process already built-in which makes it much easier to track ideas.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

Name ideas

Here are a few words to get the ideas flowing regarding the show’s name and we’re completely open to others.  Also, please don’t be offended if one of the submissions isn’t chosen.  We’re all working together on this and there are a few different factors that must be considered.

Thank-you in advance for all your ideas and contributions!  We have to choose the name by this coming Tuesday at 12 noon MST so get your ideas and votes in quick.
