Hello. I came across your work because I’m actually completing a book on honey and cheese pairing, with part of it discussing how both products can benefit from and how advocates for each gourmet treat can extend the reach of their passions via social media. If I read your work correctly, you use the concept of “hive marketing” mostly as a metaphore.
I’d love to get a copy of your latest article and, if you don’t mind, I’d like to be able make reference to it through a couple of quotes that link your concept with what bees do.
Also, I’d love to chat if you have other quotes about the connection.
I’d be happy to share more thoughts with you about the project. Unfortunately, the project is moving forward without benefit of funding so may either be published by a small publisher (if I’m lucky), or I may self-publish and sell online and at my small retail store. All getting to the point that I don’t have resources to buy rights … the book makes major use of public domain info and images.
If you don’t mind my referencing your works, I’d appreciate it. I’ll even send you a copy of the book once it is complete.
Thanks.
Allan
Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting your GE videos and sharing your wisdom.
I’m a fellow writer/video producer of the Telly award-winning video, “Things You Should Know Before Entering The Hospital,” featuring Emmy award-winning actor, Ben Hollis. (www.patientsafetyvideo.com).
I’m now handling publicity for a healthcare nonprofit
that’s addressing malnutrition in our country’s hospitals and nursing homes. nutrititionDay In the U.S. is part of a global benchmarking effort to minimize malnutrition, and they’ve compiled documented numbers that are staggering.
Would you be interested in speaking to President and U.S. Coordinator, Gail Gewirtz? nutritionDay (yes, that’s intentionally lower-cased!) is coming up on November 4th, 2010! It’s the second time this event is happening in the U.S., and the first time for a global coordination to truly measure what patients are receiving in our hospitals and nursing homes.
So far, about 33.5 MILLION people
are being malnourished in U.S. healthcare facilities.
And the sad (and strange) thing is — legally, patients in the U.S. are allowed to go without nutrition for up to SEVEN days! In Europe, patients are only permitted to be without nutrition for 24 hours. (That could be a “funny but true” video scene.)
Check out http://www.nutritionDayUS.org.
I’d look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Lynn Sanders
President
