- #22: The conversation prism outlines where conversations are taking place online. From blog communities to Twitter to reviews and ratings to video and pictures. \n\nBut don’t let this slide overwhelm you. You don’t need to be in all of these places - in fact, I don’t think you’d be thinking very strategically if you just started opening accounts and diving in. \n\n
- #23: These are some of the most popular social media tools right now. You heard Brant discuss some of these. I personally have had a lot of success with some of these individually and as a combination. Towards the end of my presentation I’ll take you through a local case study where we’ve integrated several of these tools. \n

- #25: Yes, we’re going to get to all the fun stuff like Twitter and Facebook and where to start, but first you’ve got to ask yourself what your goal is? What are the measurable objectives you want to achieve?\n\nWhat do you want to do? I’m from the PR world, so often our goals are things such as raising awareness about a product or service, better engaging customers with the product, improving customer service, etc. Or is your sole goal to stand out in the crowd, to have a voice, to move the needle?\n\n
