At the same time, many of my association colleagues were there attending BlogWorld 2010, billed as the world’s largest social media conference. While I’ve enjoyed many of the conference recaps, my favorite thus far is KiKi L’Italien’s Top 10 Things You Shouldn’t Do at BlogWorld.

As I talk with others about social media and the power of it, there are certain phrases or concepts I find myself repeating often. I thought I’d turn these into a blog. Perhaps you’ll find them useful or challenging or even insightful. I can’t claim every one is original, but before you turn one of these quotes into a t-shirt, bumper sticker, coffee mug, your life-changing new mantra, or even your own blog post, an acknowledgement would be nice.

skip to main | skip to sidebar. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Get It in Writing. "Get it in writing.". It sounds so cold and mistrusting. Its the sort of thing I would expect to hear after telling a skeptical friend about a great offer I got from a notoriously shady car dealer. But its not just a cynics suggestion about dealing with an untrustworthy world.

A couple of months ago, we talked about the huge presence Einstein Bagels has created on Facebook and what that presence has done for their same-store sales.

Like many of you, I didn’t attend Blog World Expo this year. Instead I blogged live from the TEDxRaleigh conference on Friday morning and left on Friday afternoon to go camping at Ocean Isle Beach. In putting this post together I dipped into the most recent portions of the #bwe10 hashtag archive and selected the posts that either described sessions or gave personal take-aways.
