Getting Started with Social Media
By Al Morel
Recently, we hosted an educational/networking event at the CommAREus worldwide headquarters (Al’s house) and the topic was The ABCs of Social Media, presented by Kevin Skarritt at Acorn Creative.
This was one in a series of events for the New England Web Developers Association, NEWDA. (You can see Kevin’s complete presention with accompanying PowerPoint on the NEWDA home page.)
As with most things with the internet, there’s so much to it. So how does one get started? Learn to earn! Dan and I have started to read a couple of the books recommened at the event:
Here is Kevin’s suggested reading list:
The New Rules of Marketing and PR – by David Meerman Scott
Groundswell – by Charlene Li and Josh Burnhoff
Naked Conversations – by Shel Israel and Robert Scoble
Citizen Marketers – by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba
