Five Steps to Social Media Success
A bit longer spacing between shows then I would want, but being busy makes that happen sometimes and I’ve made a promise to myself and to you the listeners that I will only put out podcasts of Managing the Gray when I know and feel right about doing so. Guess what? Today is one of those days! *grin*
This episode focuses on the whirlwind of things going on. Specific topics and links discussed:
- Speaking at the New England New Media Association’s conference
- My 5 Steps to Social Media Success presentation I gave there
- Success of the Podcast & Portable Media Expo
- My new friend from A Buddhist Podcast
- The move of SecondLifeOffice.com to new digs
- My new job
- ManagingTheGray.Gather.Com
- The purpose and goals of Managing the Gray
- Starbucks success with Gather.com
- My changed opinion of Album Art

Hey, when are you going to tell us about this new company of yours?
Oh, wait, nevermind… got it.
Pax,

C.C.,
No, no, no… THANK YOU! Seriously, thanks so much for participating and supporting NENMA by doing so. So many folks told me throughout the day how great it was that we involved non-newspaper folks in the presentations, and in particular how much they learned from our panel alone. Everyone really appreciated your tips and perspective. I’m only sorry we didn’t have more time for you to get more into Second Life and the possibilities there. But maybe their heads would have exploded had we done that, and we do like everyone to go home in one piece.
If you are ever in need of a MSM rep at any of the other conferences you are involved in, please call on me so I can reciprocate the favor you did for me yesterday by coming.
I look forward to continuing conversation with you, and learning from each other in the process. And one of these days I’ll actually get myself into Second Life and stop by to say hi.
Thanks again,
Sean
