David Alston is the VP of Marketing and Community at Radian6, a software firm that helps remove the barriers to effective social media monitoring and analysis. I had a great time chatting with David on the 15th episode of The Social Nerdia Show! and you can listen to the conversation in its entirety on the player below or by subscribing to our podcast on iTunes.

I checked out a demo of Radian6 before talking to David, and I must say I was impressed. Their tool looks pretty slick and comprehensive. I particularly like the fact that it integrates with Salesforce and WebTrends, which many companies already use. And, as David told me, Radian6 is going to integrate with more CRM, Business Intelligence and Analytics systems in the future.

David shared about how the young company got started by being part of the online community. He also explained how their real-time web-based solution enables companies to interact online without having to manually go to every blog and site out there. ”Once you get all that data from all over social media, from all the YouTubes of the world, Flicker, all the blogs,Twitter, Friendfeed, news, all that stuff gets pulled into one big topic profile and once it’s there you can do all kind of drill downs and look for trends.”

I recently met 13-year-old Jackson Fall at WordCamp Dallas. Jackson might be young, but he doesn’t think like a kid when it comes to technology, business, and social media.

He not only has a video blog / podcast (at LivingDigitally.tv), but he’s also a freelance graphic and web designer. When I asked if he was going to start a business, he confidently answered “I have a business.”

Smart and driven, Jackson also told me that he is inspired by people like Cali Lewis, he loves Diggnation, and would like to work for a company like internet television network Revision3.

Here’s the short video interview, which includes his impromptu application to Revision3:

The Social Nerdia Show! Episode #2 is now available for streaming on blogtalkradio (and at the bottom of this post) as well as a podcast on iTunes.

In this episode, @jestebanc and @somerlea talk about the latest Social Nerdia blog posts, recent Tech News (Facebook dethroning MySpace, Bing making gains, online video stats, and email marketing forecasts), and Not-So Tech / Pop Culture News (Letterman’s Palin comments, Kate Gosselin spanks her kids, CK inappropriateness, and an angry and perhaps lost in space Michael Jackson).

The show also delves into the awesomness of free cell phones, nasty female commercials, tweeting stalkers, turtles in the middle of the highway, @common_squirrel, “Captain Obvious” of the media, Hammer Time, grandmas on Facebook, upcoming movie releases, and the Randomized Topic of the Day (which was.. who would’ve guessed? Twitter!), sponsored by: “Spreadsheet“.

Thanks for tuning in!
