In case you missed it, the State Journal’s Social Media Business Forum was held this past Friday, April 1st, 2011 at the University of Charleston.  Their panel featured two Next Generation Marketing alum – Justin Seibert and Jeff James – plus Emily Bennington and Bob Coffield.  In addition, the opening intro into social media was delivered by Julie Hewett.

The attendees – mainly from all over West Virginia (yay for the great support from the Panhandles!), but also from Ohio and Kentucky – were able to ask questions pertaining to their own social media efforts both planned and in effect.  A huge thank you to the State Journal for putting on the event and everyone that came out.

Seibert then headed off to Columbus, OH the next day to present How to Protect Your Online Reputation at the Digital Media in a Social World conference. If you’re updating your Where’s Waldo maps for Seibert at home, that would mark four separate universities in the last month:

  • West Virginia University
  • The Ohio State University
  • West Liberty University
  • University of Charleston

Justin Seibert: Web 2.0 Tools

Justin Seibert - President of Direct Online Marketing

Just a little background info – Justin just so happens to be my boss and I just happen to be his “New Media Specialist”.

Smoke-up-backside-o-meter
So you can rate this liveblog post on a scale of 1 to 10 on the blowing-smoke-up-backside-o-meter…

Anyway here’s the basic gist of the general gist:

  • Organizational blogging
  • Social networking, wikis, twitter, and other forms of social media
  • Search engines, online press releases, and ways to fuse online and traditional forms of marketing

Blogs: Somebody not interested in reading blogs – man it’s like a personal slap in the face…..I shall get to this at some point.

It shouldn’t be a case of reading blogs so much as coming across information written on blogs. I mean, does anybody claim they don’t read forums as an entire mass? Pfft.

How many people write blogs…..stat attack. (will find)

Still amazes me about the low information threshold on RSS feeds and such.

Basic blog rules and ethics. Probably best to throw out a few top five lists on certain points Frightening or perhaps not or maybe I’m in my own little blogging bobble bubble.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

We’re at least fairly cogent on facebook mysapce and social networks.

PRESS RELEASES:
Brad wins for most press releases with 4-8 a day.

Press releases as SEO.

A big happy new media and old media conflab. All media is crap apart from the decent crap. Point out the uses of social media with regards to blended/universal search.

Not as much on this as there should be and that’s my fault.

So, seeming you’ve got your notes, go ahead and ask any questions you’ve got loitering in your frontal lobes.

I’m supposed to know about this stuff!
