Social Media / Online Networking – Better Use of Time I present a fair amount on the topic of how to use social media. The same Friday as the LA CTO Forum with Mark Suster, I presented to a group of about 40-50 mostly service providers on use of social media to build your reputation and grow your business.

I see Visible Networking as a series of conversations around blog posts, and encouraging a group of people to actively participate. Yes, blogs has been touted as a place to have conversations, but Tony is doing Visible Networking by starting the conversation in a blog post, then continuing the conversation in the comments.

I hadn't talked to her in a while and then because of a presentation I did around Social Media for Service Professionals she and I reconnected. We streamline strategy development using a Reality-Based approach, then execute cross-media programs including websites, brochures, ads, booths. It has been fun to get to know her again.

I recently had a conversation with an pre-launch startup where they discussed how SEO was going to be really important for them. This isn't the first time I've had this same conversation. By the way – getting links in social media – mentions on twitter, links on Facebook. I won't say that I'm truly an expert on SEO.

I did a presentation about the use of Social Media to a great group of people who mostly are different kinds of service professionals (attorneys, accountants, consultants, etc.). You are doing it for yourself to become part of the conversation even if it's very small. This is that post. It has changed my life. Retweet your bookmarks.

Background This post partly really came about as a result of a great conversation yesterday with David Croslin a former CTO at HP who recently conducted an interesting experiment. This is actually fairly common and I think it’s a bit challenging in that the technology roles (from technology advisor to CTO) in a startup vary widely.

" 8 Questions to Ask When Interviewing at a Startup - Instigator Blog , June 18, 2010 Job interviews are meant to be conversations. So true, so true, and that's the perspective you must adopt to become adroit in social media." The interviewer asks some questions and the interviewee does the same. It shows a lack of interest.

As it stands, there are a few cases where it would have applied on projects I've worked on: LivePlanet - could have used it to bulk up for each contest, store videos and scripts on S3, and possibly do format conversions. A lot of the examples that Amazon used were media related.

is really the first version we will send to the media for initial reviews and then also make available as part of a private beta distribution with a limited number of invites, maybe 500 total. This we have done already with a super-early version and will do again at least one more round before launching V1.0. For us, then, V1.0 and so on.

and she provides this picture: It shows that while we slowly approach real-time, realistic virtual conversations, it still isnt quite the same thing as being there. Los Angeles Social Media Starters What is Visible Networking? As an aside, I personally question that view. He has twenty years’ experience as a CTO.
