ProductCamp Austin: A great success!
The second ever ProductCamp started in Austin at 8am this morning. I had never been to any BarCamp-style “un-conference” before, but I must say I really enjoyed it.

It’s a Conversation, NOT a Campaign
Social media demands interaction… because its a conversation, not a campaign.
Nice quick report from B2B’s NetMarketing Breakfast in NY this week.
Paul Dunay, global director of integrated marketing at BearingPoint, said he actively reuses and retargets existing content in ways that make sense to provide value to customers.
Dunay said there is no “campaign” in social media: [...]
