I thought it may me interesting to talk about some of the not so popular sites out there using social media to create a great business - companies in the social media trenches. For instance http://davesgarden.com/ - not a pretty site. However at last count they have over 350,000 members, about 6,900 of those are paying subscribers, over 25,000 posts in their forums.

This post from Kami Huyse (and its linked successors) look like a pretty good basis for a course to me, but I'm no expert so maybe others who know better could comment and see what needs to be added/taken away?

Here's a question: Should this page remain as a separate list of tools, or should we incorporate them into each page as appropriate?
What works best for you?

I use PowerPoint2007 for my presentations, which I 'can' save into 2003 format, but then editing of the cooler features is lost.
I thought about uploading the slides to here for you all to play with and use, but there's a 2mb limit and the file sizes (I use a lot of youtube movies in my presentations) is waaaay over that. Even pdf versions of the slide decks are usually over 2mb. Would it be of value if I zipped up my presentations and left you with links to the 2007 versions, complete with movies, etc.? Lee

I tend to think not. But what do you do when no one else will?

I'm currently working in the UK focussing on Social Media applications for Government. I'd be interested in any examples other users have found worldwide.

To help you reach goals your press releases should
-be consistant , posting one atleast 1x per month -use different prospectives, angles & approaches for each release to broaden the audiences your message will be relevant to -make use of your digital assets to add depth & texture to the content no one wants to read just plain text, releases are a VISUAL medium -written with the concept in mind that a press release can and should act as a stepping stone from someones search to your site. -be tailored to reach out to the 3 audiences that are looking for info online, 1. the e-commerce customer 2. the media and 3. the search engines. -be optimized w/key words to be more relevant to those 3 audiences, it is a skill that can be learned

It might be useful to elaborate on the difference between social browsing and social bookmarks as it's not immediately clear.
StumbleUpon, for example, is listed on both pages.

Near the end of this page, the following text appears:
"In reaction, Todd Defren of SHIFT Communications introduced his 'social media press release template' and kicked off a debate that continues to this day." What debate? Does this simply refer to the ongoing discussing about what an SMNR should include, how it should be distributed, etc.? To me, mentioning some ongoing "debate" without a link or an explanation leaves a huge hole in this otherwise great start to an article.

Just letting everyone know that I've posted a badge for the wiki on the homepage. I encourage you to post this on your own sites to help spread the word - the more people that know about this site, the better it will be.
Cheers, Dave

This is an absolutely fantastic idea and i will be the first to use it since I'm still grappling with social software - however - one point i'd like to make as a potential user of this resource is that i think it needs to be written in plain English - really plain English. Read blogs and podcasting as an example - i had to read through each lead twice - if i was a complete novice it wouldn't have painted a clear simple picture to encourage me to use it - i think it would have made me feel like an outsider who doesn't really know what you're talking about. I'm no expert but wouldn't it be clearer to write a definition of a blog as somebody's thoughts that can be found on a website i.e. the ceo of a company may post his ideas or thoughts regularly for others to read about where the company is going in an accessible and informal way. After that simple explanation perhaps more technical details could be added such as it's chronological or reverse chronological status etc as well as its potential commercial benefits to the company?
I think we forget sometimes how easy it is to write for ourselves rather than the intended audience. Just a thought and sent only as a constructive piece. Cheers, KC
