Social Media madness at Internet World

Posted on:  Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 by Beth Granter

Last week Gracie Messenger and I went to Internet World hoping to catch a couple of sessions about social media and online communities. I think the organisers underestimated the level of interest in social media, judging by the queue (recorded on my old mobile phone so poor quality!):

Other sessions on at the same time (e.g. those about e-commerce and email marketing) didn’t appear to have a queue at all! Maybe that’s not because people don’t want to use those mediums, but just because they already know how to do it, and there’s still a lot of questions to be answered about social media marketing. Whatever the reason, I think this video really shows the level of interest in the social media sector, which is a great sign.

In addition, this was a free event, so would be likely to be oversubscribed. For those in the queue who missed the sessions at Internet World 2009, you might want to come to Digital Leap next month - a social networking conference for charity people and we’ll try to answer some of those questions…
