Robin:

These are some helpful notes that reminds me just how eager business professions are to continue to learn about social media. Here's hoping that the Colorado Business Marketing Association members will not only attend your upcoming workshops, but that they'll also start to become regulars at events like the Social Media Club and start to participate at BarCamps, PodCaamps, etc.

It is becoming increasingly important that companies have a conversation with their customers. We are starting a buzz marketing company that is similar to Radian6 and Collective Intellect, but our focus is more on smaller businesses. We monitor and measure relevant online conversations to your company and industry and join the conversations for you. Essentially, we say what you would say if you had the time and knowledge to do it. We are currently developing a consumer version of our software that allows companies that can't afford the full service to self serve.

I thought the roundtable was great - informative enjoyable and friendly. There's a lot to social media and it was good to get an overview. I'm looking forward to learning more (reading some of the recommended material) and to social media 200.

The roundtable was great, thank you for being so patient with our undoubtedly naÃ¯ve questions Robin! Some additional things I walked away with as being helpful were:
* Google Alerts with your industry's keywords can give you good insight on where conversations are happening
* Social bookmarking ... although I'm still not quite sure what this is ... :-(
* a few reading suggestions (Groundswell book, the Twitter NY Times article, and Chris Brogan's 50 ways to use twitter article -- thank you to Greg Olson of Ubiquity for these)

... and so my social media ineptness is out there for the whole world to see ... yikes! Good news is, my expertise can only go up from here ;-)
