PR-related podcast.

Doug Haslam, Todd Van Hoosear and Rob Capra discuss:

1. Staff for presidential candidate Chris Dodd accidentally lets out an internal email– or was it on purpose?
2. Tips on viral video published in TechCrunch lead readers into an ugly ethical quagmire
3. Long Tail Fail? Critics of the Long Tail get a reading (and Mashable on podcasting)
4. Social Network Sampling: try ‘em all, spend time on the ones that are worth it to you
5. Blog plug: PR On the Prowl
6. Events: Pulver Social Media Breakfast, SNCR, Social Media Club Boston and Bryper’s Social Media Breakfast

Social Media Face to Face is Ace.

November 28th, 2007 by Doug

This morning (Nov 28), I attended the second Jeff Pulver Facebook event in the last few weeks. Why blog about it? We’re all social media types at these things, reading each others’ blogs, Utterz, Twitters, etc., anyway, right?

Well, there’s nothing like catching up with people in person once in a while. There is still no substitute. This goes for client meetings, press briefings, and any relationships. There are things you can do, impressions you can make, in person that you can’t do as well in text, over the Internet, or even on the phone.

A couple small examples of in-person interaction are below, posted via one of the new social media tools many of us discussed today, Seesmic.
