We talk about:

Tons of new conversations around open source right now
Second anniversary of Bar Camp is soon
Chris attended a facilitation training
Which is what put him on to BrainJams The best thing that you do to learn is to read a magazine outside your industry
BrainJams was a study in interdisciplinary
Social Media Club was derived from that earlier work
It stemmed from a need for event context
To make a nerd correlation it is sort of like a relational database - context with key
What you've done is created a social platform
Seeing the value in temporary communities
Sure, just like Gnomedex
Making sure that there is value in presentations
Setting up the learning environment
Walking out on sessions at a conference in favor of the hallway conversation
Taking time to make connections that you can't make in a session
Conversational Marketing, but it worries me
The wrong people might co-opt it
Trying to figure out the semantics
Talking about it as Market Conversations, the difference is intention
Intention in what sense?
Well, we talked about this a bit around the Calcanis session
Intention is about letting the audience know what is coming
Mixing messages doesn't help intent
Intention was to announce a new product
Not the edification of the audience
Firguring out how to create value together
When working in the enterprise on the social media scale what has worked for you?
The rejection by them comes from us rejecting them first
Not trying to invalidate them or the structure they work in
That is why the tag line for Social Media Club is "If you get it. Share it"
Education has to be at the forefront of the conversation
Getting your message out versus manipulation
Looking for the champion within an organization
Presenting a cohesive case study
Knowing whose done it well and who hasn't
Learning how to speak the language
Can they trust you?
Do they understand that you are going to help them?

Max editing is cropping of photos
Using Creative Commons licenses for his photos
Capturing the emotion of a BlogHer attendee conversation with Elizabeth Edwards
Are you making money from this?
Working had to make money indirectly
So what is it that you do?
Social media consulting with traditional newspapers and pr firms
It is partially technical and partially cerebral
In this space our services and production are what the client needs
Things change on the enterprise level when you bring IT into the mix
How do you interact with a company that says they are ready for social media?
It helps when the IT people are already in LAMP environments
But more and more I am seeing clients circumvent IT
I make sure that I offer them multiple solutions
Defiance to technology based on ignorance not review
Large media organizations are using these applications
Hypersensitivity to our echo chamber, but we represent such a small portion of internet users

What is the plan of Lijit?
Bringing the offline online
The goal is to build a create a hub
Building a better spider to follow a new
Lijit grew from an organic experience
Where are the opportunities for search to go?
Not beig the go to place but the place to find trusted sources
The power of social networks applied to search
Page rank was based on the information in the links
With the social web it is about people and those connections
Measuring reputation and personality
A more discerning link structure and tracking, the social links
Finding that trusted source
Building in the intelligence into the spider
It's hard, but it not impossible
We're doing it

Talk bad about Digg
Digg is not democratic
At election time you don't vote "No" on a candidate, you vote"Yes" for who you want
