Wait. you mean it’s not true that the world will end if everyone doesn’t Tweet and get LinkedIn and book their face, and claim their space, and become mayor of their domain? You young man are a heretic.

Amen. While our members aren’t using, say, Twitter and FB in droves, we do have key non-member audiences who do. Our focus is generally more to those groups than to members when we ‘use’ these channels (though we have a couple of member-outreach pilots we’re conducting).

I’m just glad you’re blogging again
You’re preaching to the choir, of course, with me. I love that you realized your efforts weren’t paying off so you stopped, or at least re-calibrated your efforts.

Just wanted to say thanks for this post. I had a similar reaction. It absolutely felt contrived and I don’t see what value it adds. And anyone can set up something similar with or without social media. It is a bunch of people dancing in a convention center, it is [...]

Haters. I thought it was awesome. The one we’re planning at #ASAE10 will be awesome. And yes, it has been done before (but not for ASAE) and yes, it’s a little contrived (but not one of the 100+ people signed up to be part of it has been in one before) and yes, [...]
