Social Media Club is being organized for the purpose of sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy around the emerging area of Social Media. This is the beginning of a global conversation about building an organization and a community where the many diverse groups of people who care about social media can come together to discover, connect, share, and learn.
The guest speaker is Ron Ploof – Ron is an absolute expert in understanding the relationship between people and technology. He’s going to be a fun speaker.
His research has resulted in the following seven principles:
1. It’s not about the technology; it’s what people do with technology that counts
2. Customers and prospects prefer dialog to diatribe
3. In the post-Gutenberg economy, where everyone can own a printing press, New Media technologies are turning traditional business practices upside down
4. In the post-Gutenberg economy, writing for search beats writing for broadcast
5. Companies must become their own publishers
6. Content creation is a vital part of the new organization
7. Storytelling is a vital business skill. Humor doesn’t hurt either
