Not only have I heard and seen a zillion blog posts and news reports about the latest Facebook changes in the hours following the press conference, many of the posts were even published during the press conference – all indicative of the frenzy to cover all things Facebook. Or so it seems.

Instead, I suggested that I blog about key learnings from the conference which I felt would benefit my readers and community. I was given free registration for the conference, though I paid all travel expenses out of pocket – quite a hit on my credit card. Again, this was their choice to make and I completely respect that.

This is especially difficult when someone does not use their real name all on platforms, like when Samantha Jones sends me an email asking if I’ll speak at an upcoming conference. If you are looking for a social media guru, youve come to the wrong place. Real names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

Last month, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Chris Brogan *, one of the greatest minds in the area of social media. We only knew of each other through Twitter and yet, when he tweeted that he’d be in the area attending a conference, I jumped at the chance to meet him. You’ll learn a lot!
