When you go to a conference in Manhattan, you probably seek out hotels that you’ve also heard of. I personally learned about Roger Smith Hotel at a social media conference and was told that it’s the place to be. I first really learned about RSH at the conference we were at together, Betsy. Has it been a success?

Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have sat next to you, Tamar, at enough search industry conferences to know you don’t blog about plants. One of the ways we try to keep from winning such a mythical award is the read blogs several times before we ever contact them. Let’s do it! Accelerated by MaxCDN Content Delivery Network.

Industry colleagues are those I have met in person (typically in a casual atmosphere or at conferences). Twitter, Pownce, and other “microblogging&# platforms really don’t fit in the type of social networks that I intend to illustrate here. But how would you count how often you “visit&# Twitter?

RCCL’s own words at that conference tells the tale: Hannock noted, “The key to success in viral marketing is to subtly influence the influencers without them overtly realizing they are being influenced.” I could not say what the timing was without researching the dates of the conference.

Many of them (more than half) were individuals I met at search conferences, but other conferences (SXSW, events that Mashable was involved in in the capacity of host or media sponsor, and the first IZEAFest) also represented my Industry connections. Facebook is also really supposed to be a network of trusted contacts too.

I don’t necessarily expect to meet with those folks immediately; often, these powerful relationships are formed online, and I then try to learn what I can about the blogger himself/herself and follow up, normally at a conference or industry event. But sometimes there are surprises in every single meeting.

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. As for the sessions I liveblogged, there were eleven in total (see the Search Engine Roundtable’s SMX West coverage for details).

One of the topics was microblogging, and Twitter was discussed. I went to a conference once in Second Life where 30+ schools were represented, from Kansas State, to Texas, to UBC, to various Universities from Australia; all of them there to promote education on social technology platforms.

Both are incredibly popular public facing success stories with very strong brands, traveling often to make public appearances at a variety of conferences and venues. But while that’s a common trait about both marketers, that’s only the end result. It’s in the way that both Chris and Gary got there that is important.

I actually had a client call me out on stage once, in front of like 800 people at a conference, in an attempt to pay me a compliment. Reply Jim "Genuine" Turner July 30, 2010 at 12:50 pm Yemi, That reminds me of the “Boiler Room&# when Ben Affleck has everyone in the conference room. I could have strangled the guy. Great post!

You may find opportunities to host real life events, be them at conferences or whatever else. Be on your best behavior — after all, good customer service is good social media marketing. Growth can be a good thing. This is especially true of businesses who have a brick and mortar location and even better for businesses.

Search and sharing semi-private information is a big trend and will play a big part in the next few years, but [us sharing information with search engines] is really not us. But we should understand the trends in the world and this is a conference to do that at because the attendees are engineers, artists, designers, and developers.

Market saturation brings lots and lots of experts , many of whom think Twitter is a shiny new object and are ready to write books, charge $2000 for conferences where they promise TWITTER TIPS AND TRICKS THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN BEFORE (in caps!), However, expecting freebies all the time is audacious.

My analogy for twitter is the people you can meet walking around at a conference intermission. Like so many great conversations you have mingling at a conference with strangers anyone can chime in but we’re not intimate enough to IM. You just want to use Twitter to talk to your close friends and family—use Facebook.

Just recently our CEO was appearing at a conference and I wanted to leave a message on the conference’s wall saying “stop by and say hi,&# but didn’t want to leave it as from me, personally. My biggest grievance is not being able to comment on other pages as a representative of our Page, but as an individual.
