The following slides is from a presentation I gave to the International Trade Council of Greater Kansas City: Wednesday, December 5, 2012.
My presentation covers two broad areas:
Firstly, how new media, i.e. (currently) social media/networks, is changing the world.
Secondly, trust. Trust, is a major factor in owning any digital presence.
Presented from a everyday user's perspective, with practical business applications from some of my favorite social businesses, I recommended three questions to ask any social media specialist/strategist as a basis of developing your social presence.
I use these three key questions when analyzing social media personally and professionally, and I hope that you will be able to use them too.

Honestly the most boring part, but we got to know our impressions!!! We need to know who we are reaching and why…And the industry buzz word that everyone will hear at some point is: “Viral” (Honestly in my opinion the only reason why facebook & youtube are the success it is today…)Most people find this to be the boring stuff…I love it.
