Podcast Description
Tummelvision is a weekly live podcast that explores the human side of technology - people before data. A Tummler is a Yiddish word used to describe a person who catalyzes others to action. Tummlers were traditionally hired at Jewish weddings and in the Borscht belt to warm up the crowd and get the party started. Each week Heather, Deb and Kevin engage with well-known guests from the arts, business, and technology who all share a unique focus on the importance of bringing our more human selves with us both online and offline. Guests are all experts in the art and science of engaging and collaborating a networked world. Topics range from "does google get social" to what is the role of empathy and emotion in business and how do we genuinely connect in a connected world.

Tummelvision 103 Kio Stark: Stranger Studies, Incubating Emotions and Naming Lipstick Colours | Kio Stark stops into Tummelvision to discuss - you guessed it - how people relate with & to technology!  Kio teaches about human social dynamics at NYUâs Interactive Telecommunications Program. Topics include Kio's ITP syllabus, âbro-grammingâ, Zuckâs hoodie, instruments for triangulation, systems of acknowledgement and the tower of Babel that comes from an outward-focussed web. The group makes a very important distinction that what draws most people online is connectivity - not just information - and that we are in the ânursery schoolâ stage of development as far as building social spaces that work online.

ExplicitTummelvision 100: Paul Ford, Andy Baio on the Facebook acquisition of Instagram, buying ‘community” and the New Aesthetic. | "You can't have art without resistance in the materials" Quoting William Morris, Paul Ford explains that when he wants to learn something he goes out and finds the appropriate software. In the limits of the software you might find a community. Twelve year olds are now saying Facebook is for old people and Heather makes a 12-year-oldâs face at the thought of Facebook buying Instagram. The group discusses Instagramâs future within the walls of Facebook. Will it get dragged into the Menlo Park swamp or will it go the way of Youtube? An almost purely mobile photo app with few features, Instagram is applauded as a less judgmental environment for people who donât know how to shoot real photographs. Spontaneity ensues as Andy Baio stops by. He is the founder of Upcoming.org, a former CTO of Kickstarter.com, and author of the Waxy.org blog. Andy is a less hopeful and thinks Instagram could very well get sawed into pieces. The conversation turns to âThe New Aestheticsâ - a phenomenon that Andy says smells like machine vision. Paul Ford weighs in on the topic by way of Aaron Cope and Heather by way of Bruce Sterlingsâ closing talk at SXSW. Here is a link to the entire chat transcript and a highlight reel of the show via Storify!

ExplicitTummelVision 96: David Weinberger on how the Net changes the way we think | David Weinberger really is the perfect TummelVision guest. He's an Internet philosopher who focuses on the big picture of how we learn and what the Net is reflecting and doing to our culture. His current book is Too Big To Know: Rethinking Knowledge now that the Facts Aren't the Facts, Experts are Everywhere and the Smartest Person in the Room is the Room. It's a subtitle almost as big as the Internet itself but it reflects how little concise vocabulary we have ("tummel" anyone?) to reflect the changing reality of the way we're operating in a more networked world. Often David's work is explaining things that are realities that any person who is "of the web" or really lives with this midset and trust level knows intrinsically. On some level the Net itself may be doing the same thing for a reality that was always there: everything connected and flowing... all the intelligence you could ever need just right there outside you, but something we weren't as aware of in the left-brain rational era and culture until we built something that made us *think* about this as we made it. David has all kinds of impressive formal affiliations and qualifications, like being a Senior Researcher at the Harvard Berkman Center for the Internet and Society, a Co-Director of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab and being a guy who got a PhD in philosophy and who wrote jokes for a Woody Allen comic strip.  But what's more impressive to me is that he doesn't just noodle around abstractly about how life is meaningful, but lives in the moment as an affable guy who cares about connecting and does just that.David's first book The Cluetrain Manifesto was written with a few other savvy cohorts in 2000 (inc. TummelVision 42 guest Doc Searls) and put into clear language and awareness outside the smallish world of dedicated netizens the way that sharing and conversations work and the way the Net made these things the new picks and shovels of business and any functioning institutional infrastructure. Links discussed in this episode: Too Big to Know How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet - Douglas Adams in 1999 Itâs Not Whether Googleâs Threatened. Itâs Asking Ourselves: What Commons Do We Wish For? - John Battelle's Search Blog SOPA Boycotts and the False Ideals of the Web - Jaron Lanier at NYTimes.com If Google predicts your future, will it be a cliché? - Kevin Marks | 2/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 95: Amy Muller of Get Satisfaction on accidental start-ups, community managers, social CRM and what it takes to | This past week celebrated the third annual "Community Manager Appreciation Day".  As I saw the tweets roll by, I realized I have become increasingly frustrated and worried that the roll of Community Manager is not yet defined as strategic and is often viewed through a singular marketing/support lens.  I worry that if we don't elevate the conversation, the role of Community Manager is endangered of going the way of the Webmaster in the 90's - relegated to a support position.  The Webmasters of yesterday are the innovators and digital thinkers of today.  These uniquely talented folks that are community managers posses many of  the skills of the Tummler.  When Kevin, Heather and I started Tummelvision, we specifically chose a new word because we strongly believe this is not a role but a way of thriving in a networked age.  It requires design, tech and human skills and can live anywhere in an organization.  Tummlers and tummeling embody the future.  In a world that is no longer command and control - everyone needs to understand "the tummel".  As we see things, the role of the CEO is that of a "community manager"! With this is mind, we invited Amy Muller (@amygsfn) to be this week's Tummelvision guest. Amy is what we call a natural Tummler. Connecting people and companies is pretty much akin to breathing for her.  In her current incarnation, Amy is co-founder of Get Satisfaction where she helps to lead the charge of building relationships with customers through Community. She also trains and educates those same customers on how to effectively grow and manage their own customer communities. She has been in the trenches and understands that 'designing for community" is not just about launching a facebook page or twitter account - it's an attitude.  Just take a look at the groundbreaking Company Customer Pact and you know that thriving in a networked world is territory she understands. We specifically send a shout out to the world of hardworking folks known as community managers so we can start building some conversational bridges that broaden and deepen the discussion around catalyzing and connecting people in a networked world. | 1/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 16: Teresa Nielsen-Hayden and Scott Rosenberg the uber-tummlers tell us how it’s done | Episode 16 Download the show We speak with two great tummlers in this episode. Teresa Nielsen-Hayden is a science fiction editor and was the first boingboing comments moderator when they returned to comments in 2007. Teresa is also a blogger and the first person to practice disemvoweling online of the entire text of offensive posts. Most important to us, she's the original applier of the term tummel to social catalyzing in the web era (she discussed it with Kevin and then the three of us had a collective aha moment. See our story on the about page.) Also joining us is early blogger, journalist, long-time Salong writer and editor and blogging historian Scott Rosenberg. | 5/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 13: Zoë Keating on being a one women record label | Episode 13 Download the show Zoë Keating joined us to talk about her music and how she connects with people online. Zoë is a Classical cellist, who uses the techniques of electronic music using a 'cello, both recorded and most strikingly live. This Wired video shows how she creates live performances like these at PopTech and SFO Airport. Zoë used to work in tech, but quit to join a rock band on tour. She sells here music through her website, iTunes (where she has topped the Classicla charts several times) and Amazon. Because she spends a lot of time alone in the studio with a 'cello and a computer, she is a very active twitter user, and has found collaboratiosn with people including RadioLab, Curt Smith, and a remix project on Terry Reilly's In C. She first began multitracking herself as she couldn't find 16 cellists to play all the parts, but now she organizes 'cello tweetups that play in her style. We talked about how it is important to always treat people as human online, and not be selling something, but conversing. We also talked about how "the music industry is by definition an operation invented to divert money spent on music away from actual musicians" - Zoë's music was defined as non-commercial by record labels, but her audience is adequate to support her because she sells direct, without the industry middlemen taking the majority of the money - as Clay Shirky describes. -------- 80's song title: I find it kind of funny and I find it kind of sad | 4/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 11: Cathy Brooks on finding your personal story | Episode 11 Download the show Cathy Brooks has been part of the tech start-up scene for a long time and often connects people with one another. Freshly back from SXSW, the fours of us discussed the events of the conference, it's change and connections there as well as how Cathy does what she does at events there. We spent quite a bit of time discussing the controversial keynote conversation between Havas Media Lab's Umair Haque and Twitter co-founder and CEO Ev Williams and the mass walkout that happened during it. How do you make a good public conversation? We recalled the Mark Zuckerberg Sarah Lacy keynote conversation of a few years ago which also failed to engage the room and had differences about why that happened. 80's theme song: It Ain't What You Do It's the Way That You Do It | 3/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 10: Dave McClure live from SXSW on startups, angel investing and VC’s | Episode 10 Download the show We ventured to SXSW where the whole TWIT crew was hosted very hospitably by the beautiful Texas co-working space. We also got the have the unique experience of seeing each other in person while we do the show. Our guest Dave McClure is a well-known angel investor and persistent entrepreneurial advice giver. Originally a developer himself, he's worked with too many companies to name, including SlidesShare, Paypal and Facebook. Among 499 other things, he currently runs a seed-stage investment program for Founders Fun. Remarkably, Dave was able to not use any of his favourite 4-letter words at our request, during TummelVision, given that TWIT is aimed at a general audience including young kids. It's taken us some time to adapt to the direction, but McClure really did yeoman's work here and if you start reading his well-regarded blog or check out his sometimes controversial slides you'll know why. He's one of the most opinionated and enthusiastic peopel you'll ever talk to about start-ups. We discussed the tummeling he does as an angel, and the increasingly influential role angel funders (the people who provide the very first, personal funding of a company) given the decreasing costs of beginning a Net start-up. Dave also discussed what he felt VCs should be focussing on given this change. ------ 80's theme song: When a Problem Comes Along, You Must Whip It | 3/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

TummelVision 9: Brian Oberkirch on the art of small good things | Episode 9 Download the show We had a great chat with Brian Oberkirch on  the implicit and explicit  impact of the social and geo-loco services rippling through our lives.  Brian is a 'multi-lingual' understated tummler and marketing guy who speaks geek and non geek alike.  He looks at the web from a uniquely human place. We focused a bit on the need for web services and sites to do a better job educating their users on the implications of the data they are sharing in plain english as well as discussing  how the features we choose to include on sites set the tone for the community - i.e. ratings systems, game mechanics, "number of followers" etc. Links we discussed this week: Dewitt Clinton on the features we choose setting  tone: The web would be a better place if ...

TummelVision 8: Bill Corbett on MST3K and bringing the audience along for the ride [explicit] | Episode 8 Download the show We had a great conversation with hilarious and poetic playwright and comic actor Bill Corbett (Rifftrax, Mystery Science Theatre 3000) about elements of improv, playwrighting and comedy that all relate to tummeling and succeeding in working in flow and creating social engagement. The core elements of improv that seemed most important: â¢yes, and (not denying the reality anyones presenting. This isn't about dealing with trolls but meeting people generally where they are and adding something to it) â¢being present â¢commitment â¢risk â¢surprise Deb related the element of surprise in the business world to 3Ms decision to capitalize on the accident or "failure" in the creation of Post-its. In tech, Kevin related it to people hacking on an existing product and the ability in the software world to change products quickly. In fear We also had a pretty in-depth discussion of comedy, it's evolution into snark, how it's done on twitter and what Bill sees trending on twitter as a growing return to an approach to more direct humour.

TummelVision 7: Elizabeth Churchill on ‘connecting the dots’, social software & human behavior | Episode 7 Download the audio Do you speak-a my language? Elizabeth Churchill - TummelVision Ep. 7 from heather gold on Vimeo. There was a little Buzz, a little iPad and a lot of accents swirling around the show this week.   It was our first  "international parity" edition serendipitously coinciding with the Olympics; we had two brits [Kevin and Elizabeth], a Canadian [Heather] and an American [Deb].  Ironically,  we did not even touch on the Games themselves but rather focused on  the true international language of "connecting the dots" and the human behavior and interfaces that help folks connect. We discussed why the role of a Tummler is often taken on by the liminal or non powerful members in  society and organizations as well as how the field of Computer Human Interaction is and is not changing as a a result of mass adoption of social tools.  We also took a second look at Buzz and some of the Buzz  backlash and what it does or does not do well when viewed through a social lens.

TummelVision 6: Adrian Chan on Social Interaction Design | Episode 6 Download the show Adrian Chan joined us to talk about Social Interaction Design, which he describes thus: Social interaction design is UX and interaction design for social media. It's the work of many practitioners and is applied through many practices. SxD is an application of insights into social media that starts with users. How they use social media reflects their personal and social interests as well as their relationships. The interactions occur among users, not just between users and the interface. I look for the emergent social practices that make your site, application, or service a social success. As Google launched Buzz this week, we spent a lot of the show talking about it, and the privacy problem it raised though auto-connecting your contacts. This weeks links: Gravity7 blog Social Interaction Design primer SxD Salon blog Slides: What is sxd personality types user competencies Johnny Holland is an open collective exploring the interactions of experience design.

TummelVision 4: Kathy Sierra on creating passionate users and you | Episode 4 - Download the Show Kathy Sierra joined us for a great conversation about her biggest passion: you. Note-worthy moments and themes: ⢠How do you create excellent experiences for users ⢠Clay Shirky's recent rant about women, wishing they'd show more chutzpah and self-promotion ⢠a useful unself promotion approach to work and social media presence than "personal branding." It's certainly working for Kathy. ⢠Why follower counts aren't the thing to pay attention to ⢠the iPad's social possibilities both online and between real life and online. ⢠Deb quoted the Talmud tonight, Kathy Sierra Daniel Pink and me QVC. That's range! ⢠Deb got a cowbell, Heather grabbed a hairbrush and Kevin rocked out ⢠We never wanna get ourselves free. This week's song is so very cowbell worthy. ⢠Books mentioned: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (P.S.)- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Kathy dropped his name all casual-like) and Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us - Daniel Pink ---- 80's theme song: Caught Up in You | 1/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Heather videos in from the airport for a minute. Champ and Oates were both involved in the creation of Flickr, considered the first real "web 2.0" site and a model of a strong community using social media. There's no one who knows more about what design and community features and human interactions affect social engagement online. Champ and Oates are insightful and witty. They're the opposite of Big Brother. But they are watching you.

TummelVision 2: Nicole Lazarro on social gaming, play & emotions | Download the Show: Download Thanks to guest game designer Nicole Lazzaro What we discussed this week. â¢Nicole's thoughts on CES trends. The game world is missing the social experience. Nicole's ideas on how games create emotion. Daniel Floyd's great video on why video games are missing a broader female audience. Relational and social thinking is the key. If your goal is to get people engaged and involved then you are beginning to think like a tummler. â¢Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg implies that privacy is dead. How does being public help you tummel and engage people? â¢Vanity Fair on social media "twilebrities." Gawker wasn't impressed either. Anil Dash noted, in a typically thoughtful piece, that no one has over a million followers. We are quite sure than follower numbers don't matter as much as most people assume they do. â¢Tummeling Technique: Heather explained the importance of going first via the infamous Sasquatch Dance Party video. ------ 80's theme song: Games People Play | 1/21/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Consistently engaging and informative
This weekly webcast is run by a rockstar team! Kevin, Deb, and Heather are all assets in their industry, and are tapped into the most interesting developments in technology, social media, and community building. They bring on a special guest for every episode, and unpack what's going on in the world through the framework of "tummeling" -- the art of building healthy, lively, productive conversations in groups of various sizes. They record the show live, and support a simultaneous chatroom for whoever wants to show up and add to the conversation. Highly recommended.
Humanizing the internet (at least trying to)
An awesome show talking about how we interact and make connections - and how it would work so much better if they made it easier to do so ... Heather, Kevin and Deb talk to interesting individuals like Jyri Engeström, Dave Gray and Blaine Cook to name a few 'recent' ones (as of November 2010) - recommend checking it out if you like listening in on interesting conversations about how we get along online ...
why I'm there
Tummelvision gives me a sense of seminar, studio, salon, & prolly many other S things.
In my life, being in a small room of smart people has been, uh, well, superlative. Every week new smart guests are delivered as if they were waiting in a giant Kleenex box if nifty sh*t to think about. 20 years ago I had an informal college weekly discussion group, interdisciplinary, serious but fun, & I've tried to find it's equal ever since. Tummelvision is pretty damn close. Now if we could only get Dick Cavett..
