    Sean O'Driscoll is my favorite, but I'm biased bc I got to see him in action
  • annhandley says
    OK - thanks. Anyone else?
  • giggey says
    well, the usual suspects...astrout, mack, chris b., jeremiah
  • Beth Harte says
    meaning those who are consultants & agencies vs. those who are implementing for the co. they work for. Just curious.
  • giggey says
    uh Maggie Fox too, she's good
  • annhandley says
    No -- just curious who we think are cutting edge in this space. No agenda -- just curious!
  • Beth Harte says
    Brian Halligan, HubSpot
  • Beth Harte says
    they are a company who truly generates engages and generates sales via SM.
  • annhandley says
    agreed.. they exhibited in boston at the MarketingProfs event.
  • Beth Harte says
    I met Valeria Maltoni in 2000 and that was my first foray into networking. She has my utmost respect.
  • Beth Harte says
    okay. done. Sorry Ann. I overplurked your plurk.
  • annhandley says
    bethhate I have a girl crush on Valeria. Hung out with her in Boston Sunday and Monday -- AGREED.
  • Beth Harte says
    she was networking before it was cool! ;-)
  • annhandley says
    Is it *possible* to overPlurk?
  • ScrapNancy says
    Gary Vaynerchuk is doing an amazing job of it for Wine Library.
  • annhandley says
    as an aside... it's so cute when my 1 kid says to the other, "I will KILL you in your sleep!" They are such darlings.....<sigh!>
  • ScrapNancy says
    I knew I stopped at one for a reason. (s_unsure)
  • Tim Jackson
    That's funny Ann... I say that to them all the time.
  • annhandley says
    to the kids -- "Don't make me come down there!"
  • Tim Jackson
    That I will kill them in their sleep. Right after I read them a bedtime story- like Amittyville or Sybil. The classics.
  • Beth Harte says
    timjackson will kill 'em in their sleep silly! He's such a good daddy!
  • annhandley says
    timjackson You know, you are such a kind, caring Dad. Happy Father's Day to you, early.
  • Tim Jackson
    Oh stop, you're gonna make me blush.
  • Beth Harte says
    he also gives 'em beer with their Cheerios!
  • Beth Harte says
    Happy Father's Day! (s_cozy)
  • annhandley says
    It's so *cute* when they burp!
  • Tim Jackson
    I love it when they stagger around and fall down. It's so touching to see them copying me. You know? C'mon Ann, I know you're with me here.
  • annhandley says
    Tim : "Hey kids -- dig deep in the cooler for your old man, will ya?"
  • Tim Jackson
    Then their little hands turn blue and go numb...
  • annhandley says
    Of course I'm with you. How many times have I held your head for you, while you ralph over the toilet? Those moments stay with a girl..
  • annhandley says
    Do you know Lena West? She was great at the MP event this week...
  • AdamDesAutels says
    I just jumped in at ralphing over the toilet...
  • Connie
    Toby Bloomberg, Joe Thornley
  • annhandley says
    yes, it's awesome when he makes it. Otherwise... ewww.
  • Connie
    Met Lena West at BlogHer Business - she was great
  • Tim Jackson
    Jeez! Yes, Toby is awesome.
  • annhandley says
    check check check... all great folks. This is awesome.
  • Tim Jackson
    Yes, Ann, I remember that time you punched your Parole Officer and the we stole his car. Then got really hammered after you got that tat.
  • AdamDesAutels says
    I have to agree and say Vaynerchuk
  • Connie
    I point to people like Toby and Joe because they "do" social media, not just blog about it. They take it outside of the echo chamber.
  • Tim Jackson
    I know Beth. I don't know what to do with her.
  • Beth Harte thinks
    "echo chamber" is the perfect description!
  • annhandley says
    good point, Connie. Gary, too. is using it. As is timjackson (when he's sober).
  • Connie
    Gary is really using it in innovative ways.
  • Connie
    timjackson does "extreme" social media -- like the kind where you have to wear a helmet! :-)
  • Connie
    Then there are a bunch of us who don't have books to our names but who are out there in the social media trenches with clients.
  • annhandley says
    connie What would you call innovative? (About Gary, I mean.)
  • Connie
    Look at what Becky McCray has done with her Small Biz Survival blog and consulting. How to use social media in small towns for small biz.
  • annhandley says
    Did that sound challenging? Didn't mean to be. Just curious what you see.
  • Tim Jackson
    And thanks all for even lumping me in this list.
  • Connie
    No, not challenging at all.
  • Connie
    Good discussion.
  • Connie
    I'm just pointing out that some people who really know their stuff are not that well known, like Becky.
  • annhandley says
    (Fully helmeted, I mean.)
  • Connie
    WARNS TIM: no dancing bananas
  • annhandley says
    connie - I agree. I see Lena in that category, too, but maybe she's new to me but otherwise well-known. Not sure.
  • Connie
    I had not heard of Lena before BlogHer Biz - but really loved her presentation there. So very practical.
  • annhandley says
    connie (rolling eyes...) WHY do you encourage him????)
  • Connie
    I know, I know. Why do I even bother trying to make timjackson behave?
  • annhandley says
    Tim -- put the banana back it its peel, ok?
  • annhandley says
    IN its peel, I mean.
  • Connie
    Two more names -- Anna Farmery (Engaging Brand) and Heather Gorringe -- together they are the Podcast Sisters. Do you know them?
  • annhandley says
    I met Anna in NY (Blogger Social). Don't know Heather.
  • Tim Jackson
    Girls... it'll be ok. The meds should take hold soon. Besides, my therapist says I'm making HUGE strides at socializing.
  • Connie
    Heather lives in a town of 63 people and has built her multi-million-$ business totally on social media. Terrific case study.
  • Connie
    Wiggly Wigglers is the name of her organic gardening business. (Almost hate to say that in front of Tim.) She sells earth worms.
  • annhandley says
    will look her up....
  • Beth Harte asks
    annhandley...are you writing a piece or organizing October? Just curious...
  • Tim Jackson
    connie that is really cool. I really love stories like that.
  • Beth Harte gives
    her 2 cents...When I go to the next seminar, it would be great to hear/learn tactical implementations-not just strategy. I can read a book
  • Connie
    Wish I had a link to Heather's full story. She spoke at BlogHer Biz and it was great.
  • Connie
    agrees w/ bethharte - really tired of theory, want interactive, hands-on learning
  • Tim Jackson
    Yes. Agreed. Oddly, that's what got me the invite to speak here at the AMA meeting a few months back. I was WAY flattered.
  • Beth Harte says
    that's why I am doing my blog...to share my tactical implementation.
  • Beth Harte says
    I have a "make it so" command...so I need to dive in. And I don't have staff or a budget. I am sure there are others like me.
  • Connie
    plenty like you, Beth.
  • Beth Harte says
    timjackson...wish you could speak at the AMA here! ;-) I might actually attend a meeting!
  • Connie
    One of the best Social Media Club meetings we did was a small group exercise. I made up 10 dotcom businesses, gave a 2-sentence summary
  • Connie
    or biz strategy & each group had to create a social media plan, strategy & how to implement
  • annhandley says
    bethharte Just starting to think about October, not writing a piece, just curious who is considered a leader, who I might not know.
  • annhandley says
    i like the idea of actionable ideas.. case studies, etc.
  • Beth Harte says
    connie that is SO cool! I would have loved to been there.
  • Beth Harte says
    np timjackson. I wasn't just being flattering...in all seriousness...
  • Connie
    BlogHer Biz was full of case studies -- one of the reasons I really enjoyed it. I think videos are online somehwere. Need to look that up.
  • annhandley says
    would love to see that!
  • annhandley says
    Are you guys going to BlogHer in SF in July?
  • annhandley says
    (kids calling).. back later
  • Connie
    Not going to BlogHer in SF but will be leading a BlogHer Second Life panel in-world.
  • Connie
    bethharte SMC is global. About 15-20 cities in US, plus one or two in Canada, London, Paris, Sydney, etc.
  • Connie
    Yes, Annie Heckenberger is involved in SMC Philly. She's anniemal on Twitter; don't think she's on Plurk.
  • MackCollier says
    connie, Annie claims she's here under her same anniemal name, but won't approve me to be a friend ;(
  • Beth Harte says
    well she should be my friend give we's Philly girls and all cause otherwise that just ain't right...ayight?!
  • MackCollier says
    Ok Handley great question which I missed. My list is Chris Brogan, Connie, Tim, Mario Sundar, David Armano, Jason Falls, and Ann Handley
  • Beth Harte says
    I sent anniemal a friend notice. I'll touch base with her offline to get involved with SMC. Thanks again conie.
  • MackCollier says
    BTW in many ways how people use Twitter & Plurk is my barometer for if they REALLY get SM. Too many r on Twitter just 2 pimp, not b social
  • Connie
    mackcollier good point - I base a lot of mine on personal interactions outside their blog -- like Twitter/Plurk online, or meeting at conf.
  • Tim Jackson
    So I'm losing points then for walking away from Twitter? Dang... just when I thought I was going places...
  • Beth Harte shares
    Macks opinion. That's why I call them smarty markety...it's bad personal promotion.
  • Beth Harte says
    they ask a question, you respond and then no conversation...it's odd to me.
  • Beth Harte thinks
    she'll tweet herself just to add to the competition! Kidding.
  • Tim Jackson
    bethharte, that would be HILARIOUS... have a one way discussion with just yourself- complete with the (AT)bethharte thing... oh man.
  • Beth Harte says
    thanks for sharing connie...I am going to check them out too.
  • Connie
    I don't know if they video'd the panel w/ Lena West. She was just before my panel and we were in the upstairs area.
  • MackCollier says
    thanks connie will have to check out the videos next time I am on wifi!
  • Connie
    MackCollier Did you get to meet Anna Farmery and Heather Gorringe at BloggerSocial?
  • Beth Harte says
    well...I am getting practice talking in the 3rd person here...
  • mrgraham says
    we all are
  • MackCollier says
    connie barely. Actually I met/said goodbye 2 Anna as I wz leavin Sat night & I didn't realize Heather was with her, I dont think I met her
  • MackCollier says
    I thought about doing that on Twitter, send tweets and act like you were sending a DM to someone
  • Beth Harte says
    to pull it off....
  • MackCollier says
    Like 'hey man, how does 2pm sound? I'll call you then',
  • MackCollier says
    or 'yeah but I heard he's only getting 50 visitors a day, claims he's getting 500!'
  • MackCollier says
    'yeah I hear you, there's none of this crybaby shit on plurk'
  • MackCollier says
    'I know! I have no idea who she thinks she's impressing with that avatar!'
  • Connie
    y'all are cracking me up, as usual.
  • Beth Harte thinks
    annhandley will not like the direction this plurk has taken...let's include her. connie, you in?
  • Connie
    I'm in.
  • Beth Harte
    [practices] bethharte: wow! did you see bethharte's blog?! It's amazing work...truly original! No links to other bloggers!"
  • Connie
    conniereece: who does conniereece think she is with that stupid pink hat and boa. so unprofessional no one takes her seriously.
  • Tim Jackson
    DO IT! Oh man... it'll be hilarious. Like an interview though, all serious and shit.
  • Tim Jackson
    Ask yourself really hard hitting questions.
  • Tim Jackson
    Give really good answers.
  • Tim Jackson
    Oh, it'd be freakin' awesome!
  • Beth Harte says
    "bethharte: what gives you the edge to implment social media?" "bethharte, because I am ballsy and smart. Isn't that enough?"
  • Beth Harte says
    okay, that wasn't really good, but perhaps funny...
  • Beth Harte says
    or maybe I can say "because if timjackson can do it, I can too..."
  • Beth Harte says
    then as part of the evil plot...you'd respond with?
  • Tim Jackson
    I heartily endorse the commentary contained in this interview- I give ie a BIG Bionic Thumbs Up!
  • annhandley says
    I seriously fear for all of you...
  • Connie
    That's what you get for leaving us unattended....
  • annhandley says
    I love how things get more and more outrageous!
  • Connie
    But if you'll scroll back, I left some links for you pertaining to your original question ... I guess we did get a wee bit sidetracked. ;-)
  • annhandley says
    I read the whole thing... and really appreciate the links. Thanks, Connie.
  • Beth Harte says
    sorry...my fault Ann. :-)
  • Connie
    Just watched the Heather interview on video -- really funny and interesting. Enjoyed a long lunch w/ her & Anna before they went back to UK
  • Connie
    Had no idea they were going to whip out recorder and microphone and do a Podcast Sisters episode right there in the restaurant.
  • Beth Harte says
    they had the equipment with them? That's wild.
  • Connie
    Yes! You can get good recording equipment reasonably priced that is very portable.
  • emsgeiss says
    holy cow this conversation grew wings...to ans. the orig. Q (why am always behind?) AnnHandley, mackCollier, ChrisBrogan, Darren Rowse (sp?)
  • emsgeiss says
    ...and Jen Gniadecki
  • emsgeiss says
    to mack: after that comment, you're going to loose more Twitter followers (j/k ;-) )
  • emsgeiss says
    hi bethharte! :-)
  • seerysm says
    Jeremiah Owyang jowyang. Just wish he would give Plurk more of a shot!
  • onepinktee
    I'm loving this convo - pick up some new blogs to read! (just what I need ;-))
  • annhandley says
    WOW! Me, too.. this is a testament to a strength of Plurk. Great having this all in one scrollable spot...
  • Connie
    192 responses - what a conversation! Like real life too. You wander away from a topic then come back.
