Talking Tech
Ganging Up on Social Media
By JEFF RASCO and CHRISTINA RASCO ADAMS
Like many in our industry, we've struggled a bit getting our heads completely around social media. Who gives a twit about Twitter? Who has the time to face off with Facebook? Will they even still be around by the time we've mastered them? Where do we even start?
We decided to get some advice from some colleagues who we know to be active bloggers, posters and/or tweeters, and share what we learned from them. Our panel includes meetings technology mavens Corbin Ball, Rod Marymor and Jim Spellos; meeting and event planners Cindy Lo and Marla Watson-Werst, who are also owners of their own businesses (Red Velvet Events and PeaPod Productions, respectively); and Cheryl Rivas, meeting planner and marketing communications manager for Meeting Sites Resource.
