Rapid-fire tweets from overlapping social media shows Web 2.0 Summit, DeFrag Conference 2010, Amplify and TWTRCON SF10 overwhelmed my Twitter feed this week. How can anyone keep up with all this information (and still do an honest day’s work)? Homework this weekend, that’s the answer! Here are the links to the articles and video footage that I plan to review. Please join me because I really don’t like to do homework alone.
Web 2.0 Summit (November 15-17, 2010) San Francisco, CA
Co-produced by O’Reilly Media and UBM TechWeb in association with John Battelle’s Federated Media, the Seventh Annual Web 2.0 Summit (formally known as the Web 2.0 Conference) was live-streamed for the first time in its history this year, and video footage is available on YouTube from O’Reilly Media. Here are a few links to videos that caught my interest, but there are more here: (more…)

Jottings by a tech PR consultant on a tireless quest for the next best tool, application, widget or Website to help “balance” life between the cyber and real worlds.
I published an online newsletter today in under a minute. All it took was one stroke of a button and voila I had nine pages beautifully formatted with compelling content neatly filed under nine tabs: headlines, technology, business, stories, arts & entertainment, education, environment, public relations and mobile. You think I’m kidding don’t you?
I’m not! You can do it too if you use Twitter.
Paper.Li is an application that organizes what it deems the “relevant” Tweets and associated links from the people you follow on Twitter into a newspaper layout. I follow 181 people that are mostly writing about technology, public relations and social media so my instant newsletter reflects those interests, but lo and behold it parsed my Twitter feeds into areas that I wouldn’t normally create categories for: arts & entertainment, education and environment. This gives me a new perspective on the information that I am consuming through Twitter. News content can be created for any Twitter user, list or #tag, according to Paper.Li. You can select the frequency whether daily, morning or evening or weekly. The funny thing is that I see a lot of content in this newsletter that I missed during my scans of Twitter throughout the day. (more…)

Is that the faint tinkle of a death knell I’m hearing for Facebook among its once rabidly loyal small business owners? Probably not! It’s more likely just the echo of the reverberating collective screams heard on Twitter and Facebook and around the blogosphere since yesterday afternoon when word started to trickle out that Facebook had announced via its Developers Forum that Facebook Pages (formerly Fan Pages) could no longer have landing tabs unless they had at least 10,000 fans (in the new lingo fans are “likers”) or unless they advertised on Facebook. (See Jonathan Mast’s blog posting for more background). (more…)

Nearly 3,800 people registered for SocialMediaExaminer’s Webinar “8 Hot Social Media Marketing Tips You Need to Know” yesterday (April 6, 2010). If you weren’t one of them (perhaps you couldn’t get into the virtual room because there was only space for the first 1,000) then this recap is for you. Not only was this Webinar packed full of “virtual” bodies, but it packed in a wealth of information from four social media specialists. (more…)

Here is a short list of my favorite social media tools and reading material:

- Mashable “Social Media Guide“ illustrates how viral video is once you realize that many of these videos have probably landed in your email box at one time or another. Here you’ll find links to Sneezing Baby Panda, Evolution of Dance and William Hung She Bangs. Imagine your company’s product getting that much play!

- “Skillfoo“ post questions and get answers to your Facebook questions from “The Unofficial Facebook Dude.”
- “Twitter Search“ to see what is being said about you or your company right now (or not)!
- “Twitterholic” to check out your ranking on Twitter. Egads, I’m ranked 1,141,730th on twitterholic! Oh I get it. Ashton Kutcher is numero uno.
- “Tweetmeme“ to see the hottest links on Twitter.
- “How Sociable Are You” on Twitter? You may not be the social butterfly that you think when it comes to this social networking tool.
- “LinkedIn Group Social Media Marketing.” This discussion group will keep you up-to-date on the latest tools, techniques, trials and tribulations of using social media for marketing.
