Great Time at SlopeCast with Robert Scoble
Great day today at the SlopeCast with Robert Scoble, the Scobleizer. Robert gave a good preso on Living in a Google world. It was cool to see how he starts his day and determines where the hot news is coming from. He also discussed how Social Media and blogs are changing the way customers interact with their customers and prospects. Today the social media network provides a huge number of brand impressions (good or bad) for a company.
Robert reinforced how important it is to “listen” to the community. He suggested subscribing to a Google Alert for your company or product and add “blog” to the search so information comes to you and you see what people are saying. Google’s new Blog search (focused search inside the blogosphere), Technorati, and Digg were highlighted.
RSS and RSS News Readers like Google Reader were highlighted as a way to get focused information in a simple view (also with ability to post to your blog). More importantaly, Robert talked about how RSS feeds can provide a stream of content to your customers or interested parties. Services like Feedburner offer distribution, tracking, and reporting services and help you get started quickly.
Great turn out, especially considering commuting this morning was a real pain with a big snow fall from 6:00 - 9:00 AM.
Cafe Trio food was great too.
Thanks Robert!
