It is amazing how much work and communication I get done through Facebook and Twitter, but email is still the reliable workhorse it always was. 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.

I’d guess that this unusual evolution has led to a tech event which is more like a festival than a pure conference. This is not like any other conference you’ve attended. This applies to conferences, travel, everyday running around town. Thoughts and Tips for Next Year. Panels, Workshops, Keynotes, Oh My!

If someone signs up to follow your company on Twitter, when you tweet will that person see it? That depends upon how many other people/brands they are following, and how often they check Twitter. In general, however, the chances any one Twitter follower sees any specific update from you is minimal. Very, very few.
