Thanks to the good folks over at the St. Louis Bloggers Guild for putting on a great event today. It was basically a last minute decision to spend my Saturday going to seminars and panel discussions, but it was a good decision. Topics included how to use social bookmarking (and which ones to use), online design, how to use social media to find (or keep) jobs, intellectual property and integrating video and audio into websites and blogs. All of the subjects were handled well and the combination of the panelists + the audience made for a great discussion, one hour at a time.
Key take aways for me were the tools that are available to aggregate and simplify social media; tweetdeck and cotweet. Also the analytics tools are quite abundant; twitalizer, twitteranalyzer, click tale to name a few.
In the end I walked away understanding how to better utilize social media to learn from you (the reader) not only for my voiceover work, but also for my not-for-profit and my day job at Energizer. The one note I will leave you with is this. Be sure to always be personable online. With my voiceover work, the service is me, so that sounds easy, you will always hear from me, the person, not me the company.
If you want to hear more of the conversation from this great event, look for #SLIF on twitter on Oct 17. Also, you can follow me on twitter @Serge_Voiceover.
Until next time.
