Tweetworks

I spoke at a Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce event yesterday on the topic of using social media in a local business. The event was hosted at the Devens Common Center which is on part of the old Fort Devens. It’s a very cool place.

Huge thanks to Melissa Fetterhoff for inviting me to speak. It was a great honor.

Feel free to email me or tweet me at @MikeLangford if you like me to speak at your event.

Notes:

• Ed Manzi of Fidelity Bank (event sponsor) introduced me.
• I mentioned my post about creepy Twitter listening in response to a question from an audience member.
• If you need help customizing your Facebook presence for your business you should consider contacting Cappy Popp and John Maver of Thought Labs.
• Check out Gary Vaynerchuk’s interview on CNN. I used his “virtual cocktail party” analogy during my presentation. Gary offers a few other answers to the “Why use social media?” question.
• If you hate to write, don’t have the time to write or feel your writing needs some work, hire a professional writer like Jeff Cutler. Jeff can help you create robust content for your blog and other social media platforms.
• Attend social media events lke: Social Media Breakfast, PodCamp, and Tweetups. They’re not just for geeks and PR professionals. They are the perfect venues for you to meet other people interested in the topic.
