Snips from my Twitter stream while at the #BMA09 conference last Thursday (edited for blog-reading clarity):
- Does Linked-In benefit companies like mine? No. Me personally? Could.
- @Thor_Harris Linked-In … Maybe for local sales reps, I’ll consider that.
- I wonder … Industrial marketing = business marketing?
- For B2B Experience Economy, I think we have to target the “real-real” place.
- Google presentation: search usage much more pervasive … web content has to be efficient, then let face-to-face work efficiently.
- Sessions at #bma09 feel like a twitter stream about social media.
- @lrh actually most people in the room have ‘company blogs’, but not many admitted they suck.
- The web-presence session undersold the message from Getty Images about adding visual content. How do we look authentic?
- @amylillard Outlaw marketing! Management lesson most actionable so far today!
- Social-community session scares me about the top-down use of blogging. It’s about numbers- users, posts, $$. Ugh.
- @jaymce Will social media “automation” just pollute? Each site/media has a different context.
- @b2bcommunicate glad my vibe came thru. At #bma09 authenticity repeatedly came up. Johnny Cash is certainly a great example! (cues iTunes.)
What’s it all mean? Well that’s part of the fun of Twitter. Big hint in bold above. Hopefully I can discuss here at length later this week.
This was my first event using Twitter. It was fun to see what others thought or observed, and gave a reason to meet people in person. Beats whispering to the person sitting next to you.
(More Twitter and actual session summaries are posted by the BMA.)
this was my first "twittered" event as well and i found it very compelling. in fact, as a company that holds events we are considering starting the backchannel conversation for all our events, such webinars, and live seminars. i have heard of events with a live twitter stream running on a scrfeen behind a speaker. that is a bit much but still interesting.btw – good to meet you at BMA… because of twitter
