April 2: Audio, Video or Text Content?
Host: Peggy K
Q1 (link): Do you prefer to consume content as audio, video, or text? Do you participate in live events by audio, video or text?
Q2 (link): Do you create audio content? Video content? Text content? How do you decide what type of content to create?
Q3 (link): How do you ensure your content is accessible and can reach the largest audience?
Bonus (link): Do you create or listen to podcasts?
As a webinar does that include a live question-and-answer component? Or are you watching a recording? For me, if it's recorded, I like text to supplement the video. But live, I'm focused on the video part. #OnEBoardChat

A2 I mostly create long form text as blog posts or white papers, but then turn that content into a podcast and sometimes explainer videos (though they're mostly for client consumption only). #OnEBoardChat #ContentCreation

- i create text content for my own website together with photos to show people almost everything there is to know about a certain plant.
- it’s easier for me to create text as I have time to write it, edit it and publish the text. Later I can come back and re-edit parts.
I always try to integrate and use at least two types of content
— Svetlana (@Stavreva) April 2, 2023
A3: I make sure content is available either their website, YouTube channel, or social media posts. Sometimes I will suggest to a client to have some type of online event such as a training or open discussion where the content can be share to a predefined audience #OnEBoardChat
— Molly Youngblood (@mygeigermeister) April 2, 2023
A3. I find tha cross posting to different platforms doesn't really work well for me. I need to make sure each platform has the content produced for consumption on each individual one.#OnEBoardChat

April 9: Gmail and EmailA3 There are some great AI tools to convert into different accessible media. Descript and Speechelo and ScreenPal all have great mechanisms to convert between text and audio. Just make sure to caption videos with a .vtt or .srt file so it can be used with a screen reader. Closed…

Q3 (link): What is your favorite email hack?
A1. I've been using Gmail since 2008 I believe. Try this operator:

Originally it was not very fast and I used it to back up my email from my Microsoft account. As Gmail got more resilient and had more features I switched over about 10 years ago. Now I feed all of my…
I've account in Yahoomail, Gmail and Outlook. Use last two the most. Gmail is easy, user friendly, so use it most for personal use, outlook for office comm. #OnEBoardChat

Yes, the channel could be very powerful but it could be very offensive if you are not careful.
— Georgi Dinchev (@gdintchev) April 9, 2023
Mailchimp is most popular for small lists up to 10,000 emails . It s a little bit expensive. For huge lists more than 100,000 emails the best service is Amazon SES. Or if you are bulk marketer you need an own server dedicate hosted.

The best feature to come from "Inbox by Google", I believe. Love it.

Q2 (link): What apps do you use for your travels?
Q3 (link): Are you a contributor to Google Maps or other online maps? Why or why not?
A1. Google maps has come a long way. One of the first times I used it about 20 years ago. I was giving my wife directions and it led her into a cow pasture on private property. That would never happen with the Google map technology today#OnEBoardChat pic.twitter.com/UH3W64Tias
— Mark Barrus (@MarkBarrusHypno) April 16, 2023
A1. Most recently I used the location sharing feature which helps me to give my family directions and let them know that I am here for them if they need anything.#OnEBoardChat pic.twitter.com/IPjxsPUD7P

— Nina Trankova - 🇧🇬4🇺🇦OnEBoardChat (@NinaTrankova) April 23, 2023
A1. Thank you Peggy. I use Google maps, Uber and Lyft to find out the most efficient times to travel. Certainly sitting in traffic is not good for the environment or the pocketbook, so I definitely plan accordingly#OnEBoardChat
— Mark Barrus (@MarkBarrusHypno) April 24, 2023
A2: I'm a huge fan of the reduction of using plastics and consumables and I do this by using my own eco friendly bag for groceries (no more plastic bags) and filtering my drinking water (no more plastic gallon bottles) #OnEBoardChat #EarthDay Also I recycle everything I can
— Molly Youngblood (@mygeigermeister) April 23, 2023
A3. Some of the local businesses I've been working with, I've been talking to them about volunteering their parking lot for electronic recycling. It's a win-win for everybody.#OnEBoardChat
— Mark Barrus (@MarkBarrusHypno) April 24, 2023
A3 I've been using my pixel phone to track the weather so I water less, I'm a huge fan of salads and trying to eat vegan and we have a summer garden every year with lots of fresh veggies! Also my daughter helped plant a garden at church last Wednesday #OnEBoardChat #EarthDay

Native plants. Bulgarian tulips.
I and @PeggyKTC think alike about native plants. I'm always receiving and giving flowers in the neighborhood. #EathDay #OnEBoardChat https://t.co/bhOGGi4MzA pic.twitter.com/qvTFIbgATI
Great Bonus Question From @PeggyKTC Yes I do, we all know about global warming and the pandemic taught us we can work from home and reduce auto emissions, So why do employers insist on people being in person? #OnEBoardChat what do you think? Please comment your response, Thanks🔥 https://t.co/OZaTvikUvj

Earlier this week I received a text message from Google Maps asking to validate my Google Business Profile... I've never seen this before. Posted a tweet on Twitter asking people to confirm https://t.co/ml8YsbVFkC Turns out this is brand new pic.twitter.com/HivRh3Ta99

Remember that more customers are likely to give negative feedback to vent their issues.
