What is WorkFlowed?

This site is dedicated to the concept that complex problems can be solved by simple steps. It's an idea that's been a long time forming, but is really nothing more than a series of problems I and my colleagues have had a chance to solve during our years in the digital media industry.

Sometimes we solve them for clients, sometimes for our own personal need and, from time to time, as a challenge from friends and colleagues.

Too often, though, when we solve these problems outside the realm of a client project, we don't take the time to lay out the solution in a user-friendly way. That's the reason for Workflowed: show the problem, the solution(s) and the path between them.
Why WorkFlowed?

Metadata, and corresponding workflows, are becoming more important in the field of digital media.

For some workflows, you'll see only a text blog post; for others, when we have the time or feel sharing a more detailed verbal or visual workflow, we'll use workflowed.com to make visuals or additional details available.

In addition, business productivity tools, pitched as timesavers, can sometimes be so much hot air, so we'll take a look at some of the claims of these types of tools and compare them to other tools, creating our own workflows in the process.

Metadata: Certainly Not Boring


Especially in this interview that Peter Cervieri recorded at last week's Streaming Media West 2009 show.

Peter's interviews for his ScribeMedia.org often focuses on topics that are both timely and somewhat controversial, but metadata often doesn't fit in the latter category, unless you count Peter's triple-X rated title for the interview.

While my slightly-pseudo-Southern accent always reminds me that I talk a bit slower now than I did when I lived in my native New York, Peter did a good job of steering the conversation to cover many of the points from my recent metadata article: Metadata: What You Need to Know (And Why You Need to Know It)

Running time for the interview is 12:29
