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. The SXSW Twitter feed helped many communicate with each other and even allowed for individuals to meet for the first time.

Founded by four ex-Googlers, FriendFeed allows you to subscribe to your friends’ updates across 35 social networks and to stay up to date with the content they’re discovering and sharing across the web. In social media spheres, it’s almost unavoidable to not engage online with content in some way.

I’ve talked with many small businesses that are so out of the loop, that I could easily see them being “wowed&# by anyone armed with just basic knowledge of how to get around the major social network channels. Social media marketing certainly could use some certification to start with. Thank you for the shout out!
