Re: The 'phenomenon' of Social

Robin Browne — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:18:20 -0000

I also agree that social is way more than tools and would take it one step further. Social is about the increasing power of people to organize in decentralized ways to do things. They might play a video game or organize a party - or start a campaign against a company doing something they don't like. They may use social media or they may not. If they do, it simply helps them do things a whole lot better. For companies this means recognizing they're in an age where every move they make, any where in the world, can instantly be under a global microscope.
The question is, will companies respond with social media spin - or real change - and, if the former, will their marketers just go along with it or look for another place to work?

This is a FABULOUS use of social media and the storytelling skills are both professional and creative - many of us have seen this, but I wonder how many of us have heard a response from United? (ya, thought so!)
Companies - you have to catch up to your customers in the adoption, use and influence offered by social media

Let me reiterate that I believe Bing will take over for Google as the number one search engine in the world on May 17, 2010.

Thanks Donna. For some reason, that doesn't surprise me as you definitely fall into the "get it" category. ;) I appreciate your stopping by.

-Bryan, thanks again for the opportunity to "guest boo." I'll have to reciprocate with the Quick-n-Dirty show or my new Back to School podcast.

Best,

Nice commentary, Aaron. I agree that the "social" phenomenon is more than a set of tools.

Re: Was that conference 'worth it'?

Great discussion over the last few days, Bryan. It reminded me of an exchange I had before PAB09. So I posted my thoughts on what makes PAB unique in a sea of social media and new media conferences at http://www.markblevis.com/w....

Thanks for Daily Boo. It's a great show! (not just because you've dropped my name a few times)

Re: Is there still a place for traditional, paid conferences?

Neville:

You're quite right that paid conference organizers need to "tighten up their game....You need to have something compelling." Very true. If a low-paid or free unconference offering and a high-price traditional conference offer almost identical content, why would anybody reasonably choose to attend the latter?

Yeah, something's borked at TweetMic: the recording is blank.

So I did it again, this time at ipadio :) try this - http://bit.ly/1a7T79

Hmmm ... doesn't sound like that audio recorded properly ... What'd you say?

RT'd this, but thinking you should turn it into a tshirt! Merchandise opportunity and you could also send it to a mutual friend and fellow podcaster you met in SF...

You can do selective tweeting also on ping.fm (part of the nambu set-up).

I've been ranting about cross-posting for many months. The worst offenders are the social media "pros" who preach conversation and relationships and then broadcast the same message to all their networks. Thanks for pointing out the problems with cross-posting.

Re: Talking IMS09 and social media guidelines for employees with Tim Walker

BryanPerson — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:09:58 -0000

Good input, Greg. Peter Himler had a post recently where he also views encouraging your employees to participate in social media as a good opportunity to build brand evangelists. Here's that link:

Greg Matthews — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:03:18 -0000

Good stuff, guys! I had the pleasure of interacting with Tim and a lot of other great folks at #IMS09 as well. My company is also in the throes of determining our official social media policy, but I'd like to think that we are taking a pretty realistic view of the environment:

We have a whole bunch of employees. We know that at least 1,000 of them maintain personal blogs. Many times that number are active on facebook, linkedin, twitter, and other tools and communities. We're looking at this as much as an opportunity to create brand evangelists amongst our employees as we are a risk mitigation discussion. And I think that will serve us well in the long run.

Thanks for the consistently great content!

Thanks, Daniel. I'm excited about it.

I don't know that I ever completely left (I've been recording and producing audio interviews on several sites, including SocialMediaBreakfast.com and LiveWorld.com/Bryan; those sites have RSS feeds, hence technically making me a podacster). But ... I haven't really had a podcast show as such. The Daily Boo gets me back in the game :)
