What really makes the platform as successful as it is, are the thousands of themes and plugins that the WordPress community contributes. These add ons turn what essentially is a blogging platform, into just about any type of site you want from community to content management systems to storefronts. It truly is amazing.

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. Twitter as a marketing tool. What are my top picks?

But really, it falls on those that really want to make a career out of social media marketing through learning the craft, and getting familiar with as many tools as possible. I’ve found getting familiar with reporting tools such as Radian 6 and Social Radar a good start. However those can be expensive tools to get access to.

I’ve used it since it’s early days and continue to find it to be the best tool for managing my bookmarks. Besides using Delicious to solely save bookmarks that I find interesting or use often, I use the tool to create libraries of information that I then can share with you. Do you find it useful?

Made me laugh when I compared it back to Roberts comment about focus on communicating rather than tools.

When using social media (or any other tool really) making sure you have your materials at hand and properly setup will make it easier to convince people to buy from you. Empower your community to talk to about you and have them build the social proof of your business’s value. Let’s use Twitter as the example in this one.
