The forward thinkers in SMM were there

On Monday, February 22, I trekked to UCLA to attend a one-day conference on social media for business hosted by Gravity Summit. As the friends of Working World know, we’ve been Twittering, Facebooking, Linkingin and blogging for about a year now. Those were just baby steps. There’s so much more to do to create a community. The list of speakers at the event was truly impressive; I came away feeling educated and inspired. Nick Adler, the guy who owns the Roxy was there, along with Alf from the Comedy Store. They have created a community on the Sunset Strip using social media. Kodak discussed the concept of “emotional technology,” Ramon from Dominos in Chicago set the place on fire with his energy and enthusiasm. Other gems:

USA Today: Whether Twitter stays or goes, short form messaging will always be with us.

CitizenNet, quoting Fred Wilson of Ad Age: Era of paid media is over. Now it’s the era of earned media.

Beverly Macy: Social Media is a long-term relationship that is built on trust.

Marjorie from Markyr: Start a conversation instead of broadcasting a message.

Kudos to @BeverlyMacy, who taught the UCLA extension seminar I took last year, and who spoke at our Working World Career Fair last June, for organizing a killer event. Props also to @RodneyRumford, who invented TweetPhoto, a really cool iPhone app to share photos on Twitter.

I resisted the urge to Tweet throughout

It was a great day

I had a wonderful experience attending the Social Media for Business Conference at Stanford University on May 5, 2009. It was inspiring to be in a room with people who are passionately embracing the new frontier. Reps from Facebook, DirecTV, Dell, Digg, Mashable and many others spoke. I am having fun creating Working World communities on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and of course, through….blogging!

Kudos to founders Gravity Summit Beverly Macy and Rodney Rumford for making it all happen. Here is an imprompu interview I did with them while driving home from dinner the night before the conference. I lead with the question: “What is the future of Twitter?”
