American televangelist, businessman, and author (born 1963)

Joel Scott Osteen (born March 5, 1963) is an American pastor, televangelist, businessman, and author based in Houston, Texas, United States. Known for his weekly televised services and several best-selling books, Osteen is one of the more prominent figures associated with prosperity theology and the Word of Faith movement.

Biography

Osteen was born in Houston, and is one of six children of John Osteen and Dolores ("Dodie") Pilgrim. His father, a former Southern Baptist pastor, founded Lakewood Church (of which Osteen is the current senior pastor) in the back of an old feed store.

He graduated from Humble High School, a public high school in the city of Humble, Texas, in 1981, and attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he studied radio and television communications but did not graduate.

Career

In 1982, Osteen returned to Houston after leaving Oral Roberts University. He founded Lakewood's television program, later becoming ordained through his father's church in 1983. Osteen produced his father's televised sermons for 17 years until January 1999, when his father died of a heart attack. He would preach his first sermon on January 17, 1999. By October 3, he was the new senior pastor of Lakewood Church.

In 2003, Lakewood Church acquired the Compaq Center, former home of the NBAHouston Rockets and the AHLHouston Aeros and subsequently renovated it.

Preaching style

Osteen memorizes his planned remarks before he delivers them, and listens back to previous ones on tape. His sermons have been criticized as self-serving and revealing a poor command of Scripture. Osteen says he choose

[First in a series.] American business author, entrepreneur and keynote speaker Guy Kawasaki has a fascinating, marketing-centered biography. In 1984 he was an Apple employee responsible for marketing Macintosh computers…becoming the Chief Evangelist of Apple. (History suggests it worked.)

A Chief Evangelist (or Brand Evangelist) is, among other things, an ambassador for your product, service or business. They actively—almost fervently—promote a positive message that advocates others to buy or use the product. If Guy Kawasaki didn’t invent the term, he most certainly pioneered the concept.

The term evangelism, according to all-knowing Wikipedia, “comes from the three words of 'bringing good news', [where] consumers are driven by their beliefs in a product or service, which they preach in an attempt to convert others.”

You might think of “evangelism marketing” as word-of-mouth in action. Healthcare consumers, patients and family who become emotionally connected to the medical practice or hospital, voluntarily and proactively recommend a doctor or service that they have used to others.

In our view, healthcare is one of the most logical and appropriate places for brand evangelism. Providers and institutions may use a different term or label, but doctors and medical practices rely on the strength of their reputation. The shortfall, however, is when they mistakenly rely on The Myth of the Good Doctor, believing that patients will automatically flock to the doorstep of a good doctor.

In reality, however, every doctor needs to be his or her own chief evangelist, with these main considerations in mind:

• Nobody is more qualified, or better suited, than the doctor to be the primary advocate
• Nobody else is going to be an ambassador if you are not leading the way
• A Chief Evangelist inspires other advocates, ambassadors and evangelists

Having an active brand ambassador—or multiple evangelists—is one of th

American blogger, product consultant and speaker (born 1981)

Christopher Reaves Messina (born January 7, 1981) is an American blogger, product consultant and speaker who is the inventor of the hashtag as it is currently used on social media platforms. In a 2007 tweet, Messina proposed vertical/associational grouping of messages, trends, and events on Twitter by the means of hashtags. The hashtag was intended to be a type of metadata tag that allowed users to apply dynamic, user-generated tagging, which made it possible for others to easily find messages with a specific digger theme or content. It allowed easy, informal markup of folksonomy without need of any formal taxonomy or markup language. Hashtags have since been referred to as the "eavesdroppers", "wormholes", "time-machines", and "veins" of the Internet.

How do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?

— Chris Messina's original Tweet proposing hashtag usage, August 23, 2007

Although Twitter's initial response to Messina's proposed use of hashtags was negative, stating that "these things are for nerds" a series of events, including the devastating fire in San Diego County later that year, saw the first widespread use of #sandiegofire to allow users to easily track updates about the fire. The use of hashtags itself then eventually spread on Twitter, and by the end of the decade could be seen in most social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Instagram even had to officially place a "30 hashtags" limit on its posts to prevent people from abusing the use of hashtags.Instagrammers eventually circumvented this limit by posting hashtags in the comments section of their posts. As of 2018, more than 85% of the top 50 websites by traffic on the Internet use hashtags.^[8&#
