Blog Talk Radio hosted a two hour special roundtable discussion on Monday, January 29 with leading members in the blogosphere, on Social Media Tools. Roundtable panelists included Kami Huyse from Communication Overtones, Jim Kukral from ReveNews, Shawn Collins from Affiliate Summit, Scott Baradell from Media Orchard and Mandie Crawford from Roaring Women.
This special Social Media Tools roundtable was co-hosted by Mike Sansone from ConverStations and yours truly, Wayne Hurlbert from right here at Blog Business World. I performed the hosting duties in the first hour, and Mike Sansone made a seamless transition to take over as host in the second hour of the show.
Discussion revolved around how many of the new social media tools work and how they can be used by business people for networking, marketing, and public relations. Along with the positives were some of the potential shortcomings of some social media tools. Members agreed that like all tools, not every one of them is suited to every business situation. Along with the current state of social media, the panel also talked about the future of the many tools available, as well as some already on the horizon.
Blog Talk Radio CEO Alan Levy was on hand and called the show, "a great one, loaded with valuable information for business people using social media tools, and showed the power of citizen broadcasting in reaching a wide audience." Alan Levy also thanked the participants and listeners for taking the time to share in this unique learning opportunity.
Network Program Manager Amy Domestico, who was the key person in setting up the panel of mostly Blog Talk Radio hosts, was equally enthusiastic about the first show in the series. She called the show a "great first step in developing a series of informational roundtable discussions in the future, to be carried live over Blog Talk Radio."
Technical Manager Bob Charish ensured the show had no technical glitches, and was recorded seamlessly into the podcast format. As result of the combined efforts of Bob Charish and Amy Domestico, the show can be downloaded from the following links. The top link opens the player in a new window:
