First, some educational takeaways: Social media is the “new&# medium for businesses to communicate with consumers in a way that is interesting to them. But for those of you who have come to expect these kinds of conference wrap-up posts, you know the drill: it’s time to greet everyone once again. You got super lucky!

Twitter as a tool to communicate during conferences. After attending SMX (I’ll post something on that soon) and SES NY, I realized that Twitter is a useful tool for conferencegoers to communicate their whereabouts or to share breaking news and announcements.

I just think that the *active* cruise community is definitely a bit disappointed.

Google is undoubtedly huge and they could simply shrug their members off like Digg does to its much smaller userbase, but instead they engage the community and that’s why Google is such a positive brand. It’s their community of choice and that’s fine. I don’t know yet if it changes my feelings at all.

Industry colleagues are those I have met in person (typically in a casual atmosphere or at conferences). I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category).

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Give them a reason to want to communicate.

As all conferences I’ve attended, it was a great one, and by far the best part was the smallness of the conference overall which really helped the networking efforts. The Shout Outs Aha, you thought I’d forget about the shout outs with all that conference summary. Now why would I do that?) It takes practice!

We’re not the only ones [enabling such communication] but a lot of people are using our tools, especially in places like Colombia. We’re not trying to build new communities; we’re allowing people to communicate with people they already know. The community can determine if something is being too aggressive.

There were online communities. People participated on those communities. It became possible, all of the sudden, for marketers to participate within those communities because they saw an opportunity. I’ve spoken about it at conferences. Ten years ago, social media marketing did not exist. I blog about it here.

Especially if your conference has some sort of presence already. As such, there’s the need to address the community in a very transparent way. You can promote upcoming events through Wiselike.
