On Thursday, I attended an excellent presentation on social media at Zone5ive, a local technology marketing forum. The panel discussion, called 50 Ideas on Using Twitter and LinkedIn for Business, was excellent.
Moderated by Andrew Milne (bv02 inc.), the panelists included Kelly Rusk (MediaMiser Ltd.), Scott Lake (ThinkSM and SWIX) and Luc Levesque (TravelPod.com). They covered a lot of ground, sharing their experience with both twitter and LinkedIn, as well as offering suggestions for using both technologies as a way to connect to like-minded individuals.
At the moment, I am not on twitter — and my exposure to it has been rather limited. The presentation gave me some hope that twitter was more than just an ongoing stream of consciousness, that there was interesting and informative information out there. It may have been convinced me to jump on the twitter bandwagon.
The panelists presented some great ideas on how to manage the overwhelming amount of information — so that it can be useful — and organize your time to get the most out of twitter. A fun feature of the presentation was a big screen feed of tweets tagged with #zone5ive so that the audience could ask questions and add commentary.
A video of the discussion, along with the presentation, links and additional information, can be found on the bv02 website.
Ironically, in this morning’s paper, the Non Sequitor comic strip reflects what I used to think about twitter:
