Steve Quigley, Boston University PR professor
Steve's talk was largely geared to his audience, PR practitioners, who are grappling with social media and how to utilize these tools. There's always something to learn, so I've noted a few resources that were mentioned. What I found most interesting is how traditional media instructors are adjusting to this wide new world. The answer, it seems: as best they can. A very engaging speaker who's figuring how to mesh the old and new.

I'm currently sitting in Quigley's class here at Boston University at the moment. His classes are insightful and innovative. If you're totally new or even looking to expand your skills, this is the man in the know!

Wow, there are still people not familar with social media, yet?

Indeed, and I think it's an issue of the evangelists being technical-oriented, so there's a lot of lingo flying around.
As I'm continually learning, I'd like for this blog to help those who aren't so adept -- in addition to being a forum for higher-level ideas and discussions.
Thanks again; I really value your thoughts and input!
Suzanne

How do Social Media sites like Digg, Younews.in work?

Thanks for your question! I'm not familiar with Younews.in
Rather than venture a guess on my own, I wonder if any followers would like to field this one?

How social media will help for site promotion?
Reply to this
Hi there,
Thanks for your question!
The quick answer is: building links, which builds credibility with search engines such as Google. Since link-building is so easy and so easily abused, my take is search engines are beginning to place greater emphasis on user-driven actions, such as time spend on page.
Thus quality content becomes paramount whether it's placed on landing pages or blogs or articles. Great content is also more likely to get picked up by Digg and related sharing sites, the benefit of which is pure visibility.
Does that answer your question? I'd love to hear other readers' thoughts and input, so please chime in!
Hope this day is treating you well!
Suzanne

This is great advice and the subject line is very important indeed - can make all the difference in my opinion. We have had some great results from more “intriguing” subject lines!. A great campaign should of course combine the best in both design and copy writing and agree that the second element nearly always gets overlooked. Good copy can also help improve your chances of running the gauntlet of spam filters - always check copy for “watch” words that may leave e-marketing campaigns foul of firewalls and filters.

Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your thoughts. I'm curious what makes the cut for "intriguing" when it comes to headline writing

I didn't know that some colleges had PR classes? Perhaps its because I never took business classes or related fields when I was in college.
Reply to this
Actually, you're more likely to find PR classes in the Communications, Journalism, or Mass Media Departments. My master's alma mater offers a PR track as well at University of South Carolina Columbia.
If you're interested in public relations, you want to check out Public Relations Society of America.
Do let me know if this information is helpful to you,

Predictions for 2010 included that acquisitions will dominate the technology market, causing the strong [corporations] to get stronger; smart energy management will become a key trend; a very social Web will take over in a bigger way; location-based technologies will finally become prominent.
Reply to this
Hi there,
I agree but question whether tech acquisitions are always a wise move: When do they become unwieldy, resisting innovation and squashing others who are innovating? I suppose one answer is sustaining a strong entrepreneurial environment.
While networking in person, I've heard some people say we're experiencing that now: High unemployment sends the innovators back to their garages.
What's your take?
Thanks for stimulating the brain!
Suzanne
