I spent a little time on C.C. Chapman’s blog today. He’s a new media mentor and digital dad living in Boston area who helps people understand the changing world of marketing and social media.
He attended Web 2.0 and Web 2 Open in New York last week and he posted videos from Baratunde Thurston (very entertaining! editor of The Onion) and social media expert Chris Brogan. I wrote about Chris twice before in “P&G, Facebook, Brogan, and K-Mart” and “Chris Brogan blogger, social media expert” (the latter is definitely worth your time).
It’s rare for me to watch 25 minutes of video. But these were so good I not only watched them but blog about them here for you.
Barantunde entertained the crowd with the extremely viral nature of comic hashtags. As a comedian, he’s able to build quick, mini-campaigns that bring attention to his wit and his projects. (I’m now following @Baratunde on Twitter.)
Chris reminded us how successful social media purveyors give back. He tweets 12 times more about others, what others are doing, than about himself. In doing so, he has followers interested to learn what he’s discovering. At http://delicious.com/chrisbrogan/casestudy, he’s built a library of work about social media ROI and more.
Skip around if you have to but give these a look. Tell me what you think.
Thanks, CC!
