Social Media Success Summit – Guy Kawasaki Keynote #SMSS10
Guy Kawasaki Keynote
Last year was my first exposure to the Social Media Success Summit Virtual Conference and I must say it was well worth it. This year I wanted to continue posting the keynote tweets from other marketers who were in attendance.
Guy is the co-founder of Alltop, a managing director of Garage Technology Ventures (an early-stage venture capital firm) and a columnist forEntrepreneur Magazine. Previously, he was an Apple Fellow at Apple. Guy is the author of nine books including Reality Check,The Art of the Start, Rules for Revolutionaries, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, Selling the Dream, and The Macintosh Way.Are you using Twitter to promote your business? Are you looking to create a large and raving fan base? If you answered 'yes,' you need to listen carefully to Guy Kawasaki. Guy is an entrepreneur, the co-founder of Alltop and has 218,000 Twitter followers. In this session guy revealed how he uses Twitter as a marketing super weapon and shared some of his tricks and tips. He'll also gave a guided tour of how major brands use Twitter.
Tonight's keynote by Kawasaki: "How to use Twitter as a marketing super weapon" was captivating indeed. Here are some of my favorite tweet crumbs from the stream during the call, I tried to keep them in chronological order. If you attended I would love to her your thoughts on the presentation.

Re: Kevin needs "social glue" ideas
- Hi,
I like the idea of "10 items that could act as "social glue" because I am an internet marketer. But I agree with the rest that the 10 recent post is nice. Maybe we should open up a new section in the forums on Social Media...or Social Media Marketing.
I will tell you that the world is about 1 1/2 behind when it comes to understanding social media. Building a section now will put EvanCarmichael.com is a great position a year down the road when people realize Social Media can produce more traffic than SEO.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the suggestion. Why don't you start a new post (with a poll) to see if there's enough interest in your idea for a social media section?
Re: UPDATES: New Campaign! New Layout! New Ideas!
- GT - thanks for the FYI - I'm not sure if we'll put a link back. Something to consider though!
Trent - the new category is "Social Network and Media" which was put in to compliment the Online Businesses category that currently exists.
Overall the new categories are:
- Looking For, Networking and Events
- Review My...
- Social Network and Media
- Brags and Rants
These came as a result of Ringo doing research on other forums and thinking about what could be improved on ours to give a better experience for everyone. I hope you enjoy them! David, I'm looking forward to reading your Brag / Rant!
Re: Marketing 2.0 - What Are Your Thoughts
- Hi Shri,
Thanks for posting this.
I also read it and I believe Social Media is here to stay, until the next best thing comes up. Social media proved to be useful for me many times and I think everyone should use it for their business.
Re: Social Media Marketing Ignorance
- [quote="vbn411":7qciluxl]Social Media is space that you have to be in to succeed in our current climate. People are going to be discussing your brand / product whether you like it or not, so you might as well join the conversation and add value. [/quote:7qciluxl]
I think that's probably one of the most realistic way to think about it.
There's no real textbook way of understanding Social Media, it's the networks of people and their interactions that will exist with or without your input.
As for Jennifer,
You can always have 2 Facebook pages. Many people do. There is also LinkedIn, which is like a professional networking version of Facebook.
The only way to know is to try it.
