    Kalebra would have been better in person.
    Lots of interesting ideas.

    Great show.

    Would love the Toronto seminar with Joe McNally.

  3. Nice topic!

    Pete HAS TO BE dressed as french :-) He’s still funny as Capitan “Pete” America, but frenchy was great :-)

    Lindsay/Chase Javis’ take on twitter is interesting. Don’t know if this media is dead, since it was never really born for me.

    On the Facebook/G+ thing, I like Guy Kawasaki’s definition of “friends x passion”. In the case of being the non-commercial user.

    Though Richard Harrington has a big point, stay where your audience is (clients, followers, whatever kind of audience), it’s also good to be prepared for a possible change in the winds!

    On the blog/social media like. I find myself going less to Scott’s/RC’s/… blogs since G+ came along. Most of the information is posted there anyway, so I centralize the interface, so to say. But this way I’m not exposed to the adds you guy’s have, and this can be a business drawback. In the same direction I agree with Scott’s opinion on Monico Javier material splitting :-)

    Finally, commercial success stories are beautiful and inspiring. Getting there is a whole other story and social media by itself doesn’t do the trick!

    Interesting discussion on social media platforms, enjoyed the show as usual.

    This show is the reason I purchased Lightroom and started trying to learn how to use it.

    Please put me in the running for the Lightroom 4 book, I couldn’t think of a better person to learn it from.
