Our friends over at Yoono have announced Social Media Camp, a one day unconference held in seven (7) cities across the U.S. focused on bringing some of the brightest minds in Social Media together with people interested in learning more about the power of Community Based Marketing. Top local names in Blogging, Podcasting, Live Streaming, […]

Chris wrote an interesting piece today that stems from some of his work being done on ‘The Social Media Playbook’ (out in 2008 or 2009 or 2010…have no idea…don’t ask…I know nothing) called Towards a More Social Organization.  It is a topic close to my heart. It is focusing the point of Web 2.0/Social Media […]

OK, I finally succumbed to the hype and got past the shiny object syndrome to see the real potential of Friend Feed when they added the new rooms feature.  I have been telling everyone I know for the past 2 years that groups done simply and done right are the real killer app - and now […]

Thanks to Les Blatt from LB’s Rambles for a great set of notes from last night’s SMC NYC meeting. In his post on “Learning from the Crowd” Les captured much of the discussion that went on as people introduced themselves and were asked to share one site or resource they found useful so that everyone […]

I registered for BarCampBlock the other day on Facebook, forgetting that this was probably an event promotional venue rather than an event registration activity. Fortunately for me I follow Tara on Twitter where I learned that a) BarCampBlock was TechCrunch’d today and b) they ran out of spots and c) that she added more […]

Last night’s Social Media Club meeting focused on the the changing face of media, and a phrase ending with “…the people formerly known as the audience.” The setup was a little different than usual, because we had a set topic and a slate of specific presenters (Steve Riley from WSB-TV and Marlon Manuel from the […]

Great video from Lee and Sachi LeFever working to craft a better explanation of RSS for everyday folks. Good idea, and something we want to see more people trying to do - coming up with their own stories explaining the real value they get from their tools and how they use them. It […]

People who attended the Business Wire Breakfast in New York this morning may find slides of Howard Greenstein’s talk linked here as a pdf.
The event covered mostly Search Engine Optimzation and Search Engine Marketing from the PR and News perspective, and I learned a lot from my fellow panelists Rebecca Lieb of ClickZ, Greg Jarboe, […]

I am really looking forward to tomorrow’s Social Media Club meeting here in San Francisco. Raines Cohen will be leading a conversation around the topic he just wrote about on DailyKos:
“how do blogs, vlogs, petitions, podcasts, bulletin boards, email lists and forwards, chat, Content-Management Systems (CMS), and even Twitter help us communicate, organize, inspire, […]

From the bad timing department:  today MyToons  , a cartoon-specific video sharing site, takes the wraps off its service which has been in private beta. The site is being pitched as a place where animation pros and fans can share “their creations” not the creations of others, and naturally the company has a DMCA-compliant take […]

Ok, we expect the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences not to understand social media, but Mark Cuban?
On Tuesday the Academy asked YouTube to remove all its Oscars videos (the Will Farrell musical number had been viewed a quarter of a million times before its removal). Yesterday YouTube complied.
The YouTube clips didn’t compete with […]

I was chatting with Brian Solis just now about his post called, Are You Talking to Me? Taking the BS out of Business Blogging, when I noticed Strumpette’s comment bagging on conversational marketing and some of the broader Cluetrain principles.  Its a funny thing that everyone is always trying to be absolute and literal instead […]
