Last month I spoke at a Cool Twitter Conference in Philadelphia. There are a ton of Twitter Conferences popping up. I like this one because it is most likely coming to a city near you. In the last year I believe it has hit 16 cities all over the world.
I spoke about taking your Twitter connections to the next level with some Q and A at the end. I hope you enjoy the talk and check out @bobfine who runs this conference. Also, follow the hash tag #CTC.
On the 14-15th of Dec I will be at Government25. I’ll be on a panel the second day. If you’re in DC and interested check it out. I also had the chance to finally meet Phil Baumann who also spoke at this conference in Philly. @PhilBaumann has awesome ideas and thought on social media and health care. If health care interests you and your involved in the social space I suggest checking out what he has to say.
What is your social media drug of choice? Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Linkedin, Skype maybe Flickr? Let me know in the comments.
**(In the video I said ProBlogger I meant CopyBlogger– All bloggers look the same to me!) No Twitter. No open laptops. No flash photos. No wifi. No PROBLEM. Respect is what the Audience Conference said yes to. The way in which this event was put on and handled has inspired me to want to put on my own event. I want to live life and conduct business with the least amount of bullshit possible. The audience conference gave me the feeling that you can be real and do business.
The Audience conference will not be televised. At some point video from the event may be released in a slow manner, but some moments in the conference is not meant for the masses. If you’re looking for a take away thought from the event it’s this: In short if you’re not being yourself and telling your story then you suck. To make money and be happy while doing it, you have to leverage what works for you and build off of that.
Hire a professional web site designer who knows what they are doing and has proven themselves in the field.
A professional web designer will be up to date on current design trends, and will know how to properly script your site with web standards compliant code.
Make sure the web developer you choose uses web standards compliant code.
This includes using XHTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). There are many benefits of utilizing Web Standards in your code, including accessibility and search engine friendly code. Web Standards Code makes your site future proof. A great way to check up on your web developer is to test a few pages of their site with the W3C Validator (http://www.w3c.org), although, just because a site doesn’t validate does not mean you’ve found a bad developer.

@jeffpulver thank you for giving a voice to so many different people.
In the coming days, the videos from the talks will be released. Make sure you follow @140conf. You should definitely look for the videos of these other speakers from the event: @cc_Chapman, @porterVA, @adwal & @Bsimi, and @drew. You should follow them as well. They are all amazing. I will be tweeting links to the talks that I thought had value as well.
The post could be spent talking about how many awesome people I meet and reconnected with @140conf. In the end is all about the connections. I love people. My flickr will have some bonus pics I left out! So friend me there!! Read the rest of this entry »
In short, the job @DevriesPR did at the #140conf in LA was awesome. For right now it looks like they cut down interviews and released snippets of them. These videos were going up through out the days of the event. Read the rest of this entry »
There might be a few moments in this interview where you may think I’m a fanboy. I am 100% a fanboy of the way Digg.com and Revision3.com handles business and their community. It was refreshing to talking to @KevinRose hearing the voice of a regular down to earth guy who still gets it. Read the rest of this entry »
