A few weeks ago, I posted Twitter Tips via @PartyAficionado and @SocMediaTulsa . Many people who follow me are new to Twitter, so I decided to create a list of tips to help them understand the basics of Twitter. After posting Twitter Tips for a few days, I was asked to create a blog post of my tips. I called upon the magical elves at vWorker.com to help me create this cool infographic. I hope you enjoy!
Mashable has announced that the second annual Social Media Day will be held Thursday, June 30, 2011. The global event is a celebration of the technological advancements that enable everyone to connect with real-time information, communicate from miles apart,and have their voices be heard.
I’m working on what Social Media Tulsa will do on June 30th. It’s hard to believe it has been a year since I organized the first meetup.
If you would like to participate in the Tulsa celebration as a speaker, or gift bag sponsor feel free to contact me or post a comment below and we’ll get back to you.
From Wikopedia: Personal branding is the process whereby people and their careers are marked as brands.[1] It has been noted that while previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal branding concept suggests instead that success comes from self-packaging.[1] Further defined as the creation of an asset that pertains to a particular person or individual; this includes but is not limited to the body, clothing, appearance and knowledge contained within, leading to an indelible impression that is uniquely distinguishable.[2] The term is thought to have been first used and discussed in a 1997 article by Tom Peters.[3]

A few of you know that I teach social media marketing courses for the University of California Riverside’s Extension program. I also teach a course called electronic marketing (new this term) in which I attempt to teach students about the various elements of internet marketing including website design, social media, email marketing and of course the ever elusive viral marketing. We’ve had a little fun watching “Will it Blend” and the Old Spice guy, but we also get a chance to watch viral campaigns as they are happening. Today, I shared with the class Look At Me Now – Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes (Cover by @KarminMusic)
In class we watched the original Youtube video which to date had over 11 million views, and the duo’s serendipitous moment as they are pulled on stage by the legendary Roots Crew to perform the song in front of a large audience.
It is great to see return on investment, but sometimes it’s nice to see the return on talent and passion. I am now a fan of their music, covers, and of their mastery of the art of social marketing.
My favorite part is at the end when Nick says, “That just happened”
The International CES®today announced that 31,677 industry professionals from outside the U.S. attended the 2011 International CES January 6-9, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Up 30 percent from last year, international attendance at the 2011 CES set a new record for the show’s 45 year history. An independent audit, performed by Veris Consulting LLC, confirms CES’ status as the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow and North America’s largest annual tradeshow of any kind. Overall, the 2011 International CES welcomed 149,529 technology attendees during its four day run.
Veris is certified by the Exhibition and Event Industry Audit Commission (EEIAC) to perform audits. Veris Consulting provides an independent, third-party verification of International CES attendance, demographics, records and record-keeping systems. As part of the Veris audit, each CES attendee is counted only once, and show size is calculated using only exhibit space sold, not hallways or bartered space. An independent audit is required to be certified by UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, and the International CES is believed to be the only UFI approved event in its category.
“The 2011 International CES was the must-attend event of 2011 and featured astounding innovative debuts including Android Honeycomb, Ford’s Electric Focus, Motorola’s Atrix and Microsoft’s Avatar Kinect,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, producer of CES. “This audit verifies that CES brings together the global technology industry, including Fortune 500 executives, retail buyers, content providers, entertainment executives, venture capitalists, engineers and media from all over the world who want to experience the latest and greatest tech products.”
Technology innovation spanned more than 1.6 million net square feet of exhibit space, as an estimated 20,000 new products were launched by more than 2,700 exhibiting companies at the 2011 CES. More, international attendees represented 140 countries, demonstrating that global technology executives travel to CES to do business. Aside from the U.S., the top 10 countries represented in terms of attendees were: Canada, South Korea, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Mexico, Taiwan, France, Germany and Brazil.
As a party (and event) aficionado, this is great news. How do you plan to attract international attendees to your events and conferences going forward?
