We don’t yet have the full video footage of Monitoring Social Media 09 (MSM09), so we’ve put together a funky little video using pics from the day. We used Animoto for this which, if you’re interested, is a really, mind-crushingly simple way of creating a fun, short video. They cleverly limit free accounts to 30 second clips, which (we suspect) matches the amount of a song track you can use without paying a licence fee – hence the proper music. Enjoy!
One of the most interesting points made at Monitoring Social Media 09 last month was the suggestion from Matthäus Krzykowski (VentureBeat) that monitoring could be made more accurate by narrowing the focus of the tools down to a specific industry. It stands to reason really. If you narrow down the lexicon you start to reduce the opportunities for error…
Over 200 delegates from around the world attended our conference Monitoring Social Media 09 yesterday in London, including more than 100 PR and marketing execs, 40 leading brands and 15 social media monitoring companies. We managed to squeeze 12 presentations and 3 panel sessions into the day without everyone losing the plot – and, with a little help from the energetic Giles Palmer (and his extravagant tache – see the flickr photos) energy abounded throughout the day.
Monitoring Social Media 09 (#msm09) is upon us! Tickets have sold out and we are preparing for an excellent conference with over 200 delegates from around Europe and the world. Late additions to the Programme include Emmanuel Vivier (Vanksen) who is stepping in to replace Amelia Torode in the “What’s Wrong with Social Media Monitoring Services?” discussion. We also have Jon Moody (ASOMO) joining the “ROI of Social Media Monitoring” panel discussion. Jon’s already been active in our LinkedIn Group, so I’m expecting more powerful insights on the day.
Are you working in the social media space? Do you have an audience that are keen to know more about social media monitoring? If so, we should talk. Our Social Times is inviting proposals for media partnerships for MSM09. We recently agreed joint promotional deals with with Media140, Social Media in Business and The Experiential Marketing Forum and we are now seeking additional partners to widen our network and share in the benefits of this high profile event.
