My presentation to Social Media Club of South Florida on April 14, 2009 and at BarcampOrlando on the 18th. I discussed how Social Media is not a strategy unto itself, but a tactic like other marketing tactics that would support a compaign that supports a organizational strategy. Also discussed the process we go through to develop social media programs for our clients, in a case study for Nova Southeastern University.

Business or are we just Tweeting/

10. I honestly do not get why Twitter
is interesting or useful if you are following
normal everyday people’s tweets. Unless, of
course, you are using technology to become a
more efficient stalker. Why do I care about the
mundane details of other people’s lives? Don’t
I have enough of my own mundane details to
deal with?
