The Single Malt Episode

by

Another Saturday Night Movie

Social media has become a mash up of friends and education. We’re sharing what we know and communities are forming around that.

Take a look at what happens when Matt Mullenweg sits in at Gary Vaynerchuk’s Single Malt Episode #509.

They say that we’ve become seriously playful.

Social media connects us around information we want to share. That sharing gives us common experience.

What sorts of things do you teach your friends, do you learn from them?

WordCampDallas Business Panel

by

An Exceptional Experience

I’m not a fan of panels as presentation format. I’ve been on them and attended them, and in both roles, I’ve found that the experience is often less than it might have been with a well-prepared speaker. Still I was honored when I was invited to join the business blogging panel at WordCampDallas 2008.

Had I know John Pozadzides before that event, I might have known this panel would be an exception.

The original panel was to be Aaron Brazell, Mark Ghosh, and Liz Strauss — that’s me. What fun when the panel started and Matt Mullenweg came up to sit down along with us in the big chairs at the Frisco City Hall.

The rest is history. John moderated the panel as well as any television host. He played devil’s advocate to get the discussion going. He was sure to connect the thoughts from one question to the next so that the discussion went well beyond the surface chat of most panel discussions.

Watch the video. Even if you don’t blog for business, seeing a panel this well done is an exceptional experience.

Thank you, John P.
