Rivermedia is the media production entity operated solely by me, Brent Watkins: Blogger, freelance writer and 25 year veteran of the television and film industries. If you want professional film, television, web and Internet production advice, consulting, marketing wisdom, general guidance in navigating the sometimes murky waters of new media, old media and just plain media, you've come to the right place. My current activities include providing online writing content through various web content brokers, like Ehow.com, Answerbag.com, wiseGEEK.com, as well as co-producing the feature documentary film "The Entertainers" - and did I mention providing a variety of digital media, video and web content services for my long term clients? My techniques are as diverse as my love of life and commitment to the unorthodox. Like concealing this text solely for the purpose of attracting search engines that long ago abandoned the use of META tags and keywords as shortcuts to ingesting web content. Instead, Google at least reports preferring to simply scan the entirety of website text to provide more accurate results. SO - the solution to providing information unique to search engines and not visible on the searched website is as simple has concealing black text with a black background. This illustrates my workflow at RiverMedia: providing easy, low-tech solutions to high tech problems. The results? Clients save time and money. We fulfill our promist to provide "Extraordinary Value - Exceptional Results." In conclusion, one of my personal high tech problems is putting my means of making a living farther up search engine results than my on-again, off-again hobby as a ragtime pianist. Currently, anyone searching Google for the name "Brent Watkins" would automatically think I must play piano as a full time job. Brent Watkins should be noted instead as an experienced media technologist and "everyman" solution provider for non-technical people who don't want to be swallowed up in some Matrix-like doomsday scenario. A world where only those cognizant of the role technology should or should not play in everyday living enjoy some measure of true freedom.
