Started by dan360man · 7 months ago

BlogWorld 2008 was an absolute blast. I met some of the greatest social media minds around, but I was able to chat up folks of all ages, all backgrounds and with all different levels of new and social media experience.
Anyway, Gary Vaynerchuk summed up my biggest takeaway in one sentence: ... Continue reading »

    Good to meet you in person, Dan!

    Have to agree with your takeaway:
    At the end of the day, people buy who you are, not who you sell.

    Be a human seemed to be the running theme.

    @Barbara - Now let's see if folks actually deliver. I think marketers in the space still aren't ready to adapt.

    Hey Dan - it was great meeting you there. I imagine I'll see you at future conferences, and I'd love to hear about the kind of stuff you're doing at the Tribune.

    Hi Daniel,

    thanks for adding me to the list of awesome people you met at Blog World! The Social Media session with you was one of my personal highlights of the conference - and inspired me to do my share to evangelize our colleagues in mainstream media.

    As mentioned, I will contact you in re: our little interview in the next couple of days. Keep up the good work at the Tribune!

    @Ryan - Don't worry, there will be plenty of stuff in the future. It was great meeting you and I look forward to future conversations about social media, etc. If you're in town, you have a friend over here.

    @Marc - Evangelism is what it's all about. Show them "Social Media in Plain English." They'll thank you for it!

    @Becky - I know, isn't it a pain?
