Social Media, Social Media, Social Media

For those not enamoured with social media, you probably are sick of hearing the phrase. But it’s something that really is here to stay – President Obama’s Twitter Town Meeting this week should seal the deal if there were any doubters about Twitter’s staying power – and it will continue to dramatically upend how we share information. Developments are happening so fast that I could devote this daily blog solely to the topic – but I will limit myself to occasional bouts of social medianess instead. Here are a handful of interesting blogs that you should check out:

Dominic Jone’s “Stats show PR wires less effective than company web channels”

Reuter’s “Morgan Stanley OKs Broker Use of Social Media”

Q4’s “PGi’s iMeet Platform Enables More Personal and Engaging Conversations With Investors

PGI’s “Getting Social with Investor Relations”

“Jive Talking”: More Dancing Videos!

Following up on the videos that I recently posted in this blog, here’s the Minneapolis chapter of the Society of Corporate Secretaries doing some “jive talking” after I did a panel regarding the proxy season followed by a standalone presentation on social media (thanks to Marty Rosenbaum for blogging about my appearance). These Minneapolis folks can really boogie:

And here is a video from the Society’s Annual Conference held in Colorado a few weeks ago during the plenary session:

And I would be remiss if I didn’t share this picture of me with my good friend Neal Smith of CSC in his snazzy jacket during the Conference’s opening reception:
