Jim Brown from EverEffect has outdone himself … again. The 2009 Masters of Business Online (#mbo09) was considered, by pretty much everyone I talked to, as a great success. You heard from some of the top ‘masters’ in the industry like Mark Hill as the keynoter (Collina Ventures), James Paden, Founder, Vibrant Solutions, Troy Burk, President of Right On Interactive, Jon Arnold, President of Tuitive, Kyle Lacy of Brandswag, Chris Rozzi, Usability Analyst, Apparatus, Chris Lucas from Formspring and Jeremy Dearringer, Co-Founder of Slingshot SEO.
I too had the pleasure of counting myself among these amazing online leaders and presented the Twitter Case for Business to a packed room. While Twitter’s growth has finally leveled off a bit, the desire to learn about it and from it continues to increase pace with curiosity. We handed out our Twitter Guide in our session and had a few people come up to me throughout the day asking for one.
Thanks to all of you who sent Tweets throughout the session – seems like the best sound bite came from Cassie Dull; her Tweet from my presentation: People want to know you, the real story and the real results. Don’t be afraid to be personal on social media. @silversquare #mbo09. Thank you to MacksMind, AKA Mack Earnhart, for taking this photo below.
