Day 6 of the Social Media Success Summit – What About Blogs?

2

I'm attending Social Media Success Summit 2010

Day 6 of the 2010 online Social Media Success Summit included 3 more great sessions to help attendees make the most of their social media efforts.

It’s always great when you can hang with guys like Chris Brogan, Brian Clark and Dareen Rowse and Mari Smith’s Facebook presentation was awesome, as expected.

 

The three sessions were:

  1. Facebook Engagement: Advanced Strategies for Building a Loyal Fan Base (Mari Smith)
  2. Using Social News Sites to Grow Your Audience & Improve Your Search Engine Optimization (Muhammad Saleem)
  3. Twitter Power Panel: Tips & Insights From Twitter Superstars (Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Dareen Rowse)

Once again, I’ve published a detailed wrap up post on Market it Write’s blog with the main takeaways of the 3 sessions as well as some closing quotes from Brogan, Clark and Rowse.

It’s not easy to say which was my favorite presentation of the day. In her first presentation Mari Smith went a bit fast for me, but this time her speed was perfect. She’s an incredible person and probably the foremost authority on Facebook. She’s also very friendly, open and genuinely likable. Of course, to say that Chris Brogan, Darren Rowse and Brian Clark weren’t likable would be an injustice.

While I appreciated their insights on using Twitter, I’m thinking I would have enjoyed hearing them talk about blogs and blogging even more. After all, blogs are part of social media and can act as the home base to which you can draw people in from outposts like Facebook and Twitter (and Digg, for that matter). Plus, these 3 guys are probably the “go to” of blogging around the world. But SMSS 10 is not focusing on blogs this year.

As much as I’m loving the Summit, I think that may be an oversight and perhaps contributes to some overlooking blogs as an important part of the social media marketing mix. (My oversight – Tuesday’s first session is Making Your Blog a Social Media Destination with Denise Wakeman – Yay!) What are your thoughts?

Be Sociable, Share!

    Great post. I found it informative.

    Do these sessions ever get posted on YouTube?

    I don’t think so. Even to get access to last year’s sessions you had to sign up for this year’s summit.
