Here we have, courtesy of the Capitol Valley Kyte.tv channel, Andrew's slides from his presentation at podcamp.  Very well-done and insightful.

I really wish someone had recorded it...I'll get slides up ASAP.



The yellow thing was a laughing prop. People liked it.

Shashi has a great talk going on about how small businesses can manage "buzz" and reputation using social media as well as communicate with customers. FYI, he's the "Social Media Swami" at Network Solutions, and knows a ton about connecting with people.

FYI: not every company needs a blog.

The recording and slides should be at the blog he runs for Network Solutions, Solutions are Power.

There's some interesting talk on how different generations view and use social media, focusing on Gen-X, Boomers, and "Millennials" (god I HATE THAT TERM).

Life cycles: Boomers - indulged in secure environment. Come of age, rail against the "moral decrepititude" of the world, emerge with a values discussion (Reagan?), and "shine in elderhood".

(pictures are on Flickr, by the way).

Peer personality of Boomers - values, vision and religion.

Gen-X - abandonded as children, competitive as adolescence, in elderhood, slow the pace of social change...I'm not sure how I feel about this. All about "protecting society." 

Millenials are "special" children, very team-oriented, but increasingly "protected" by adults. As young adults are "can-do heroes" and take on BIG challenges.

(this is all generational language, means absolutely nothing, speaker says)

Book suggestion: "Millennials Rising" and "Fourth Turning"


We're just going to talk about Millennials, Gen-X, and Boomers.

Question about Obama/Clinton and Social Media...I need to field this one.


Gen-X: all about survival. Not trusting institutions. They like information that is vetted through a person, such as a traditional source (seeding), but transmitted peer-to-peer.

FYI - Boomers were railing against their grandparents, not their parents. Is she sure?

"Wisdom of using social media is using the world view of your target market."

This is crap. I'm done with this. I'm going to challenge the hell out of this.

This woman's view of social media politics is so viewed through a Gen-X prism. Has she read ANY of Amanda Lenhart's studies?
