Bulletin to ThinkTech Hosts - Episode Titles and Taglines

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

We'd like to further improve titles and taglines by decluttering them and making sure that they are written clearly on all of our platforms. So starting this week, we are no longer accepting periods (except for abbreviations) and the following characters in those fields.

;  ?  !  &  @  $  #  (  )  [  ]  {  }  <  >  /  \  ^  *  ~

Instead, you can use colons, commas, hyphens and dashes. You can still word your title or tagline as a question without punctuation. This new rule does not apply to affiliations, other host and guest information, the discussion contemplated and the takeaway contemplated.

Thank you so much for your cooperation. If you have any questions, you can contact Hayley at hayley@thinktechhawaii.com.

ThinkTech Host Zoom Meeting on July 23, 2021

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

Here is the video of our July Host Zoom Meeting. 

This was the agenda:

• Show Information - Hayley
• Show scheduling, cancellations - Hayley
• Remote recording shows - Hayley
• Show values, backgrounds, blur - Eric
• Platforms, channels - Eric
• Submission of Graphics - Michael
• Subjects, guests - Jay
• Open and close - Jay
• Watching, referring to other shows - Jay
• Promotion efforts - Jay
• Ramp up schedule - Carol
• Holiday Party, awards - Carol

Note - we are working on a routine that will automatically address the concerns Katharine expressed at the meeting about capitalization of the title and tagline of your shows.

In any event, please be careful about the way your write your shows up - what you write gets promulgated and perpetuated not only in our database but also on YouTube, Video, the Daily Email Advisory and all our other platforms.  

Also, note that our next HZM is scheduled for 3pm on Friday, August 20.  We’ll send you a link.  Please try to attend; after the August meeting, we’ll probably take a breather for a few months.

Thanks.  Looking forward.
