It’s been awhile since Wes and I have been able to do a Southern Social Media podcast so I ventured out solo.  You know Wes will get all territorial next time we’re together for the podcast, but I wanted to talk about six predictions for 2010 made by Dave Armano. That’s what this solo podcast is all about so enjoy!

A Thanksgiving eve-eve edition of Southern Social Media that included topics such as:

• Comcast’s use of Twitter for social media . . . has customer service really improved?
• Finding the fastest path to success with social media and your business
• Ways a PR agency can help you with social media (an abbreviated overview)
• Blogging monetization considerations . . . affiliate, AdSense, or CPA offers? What’s best for your blog to make money?
• Government’s supposed desire for “transparency” . . . how it can cut both ways
• Bubba . . . he gets a hard time on our show!

Another Southern Social Media just completed. Among today’s topics:

• Southern definition of “beetle”
• Why Social Media “Purists” won’t survive if they don’t change their perspective (Social Media Explorer post)
• A review of Evri.com
• A look at TweetTrail.com
• Get in on 20.1 Facebook Business Tips from Wes
• Get your free copy of List Samurai before it becomes a paid product (I’m going to condense the eBook into a special report that will be offered for free, but the book is going to be expanded and offered as a paid product)
• You might be a redneck if . . .

A solo edition of Southern Social Media today due to scheduling conflicts.  Wes isn’t going to be happy, but sometimes ya just gotta take the bull by the horns, ya know?

Today, I focused purely on a recent Omniture report that discussed the “Value of Social Media.” Among the sections covered:

• Where people get information about your products
• Most effective social media strategies
• Most effective social media tactics
• Most accurately measured social media tactics
• Net budget spending . . . interesting results to mull over here
• Who is using social media
• Social media is most complimentary to . . .
• Biggest hurdles for implementing social media marketing
• Interesting stats on B2B vs. B2C use of social media
• Key takeaways

Yes, I packed this podcast with a LOT of goodies and food for thought. That’s what happens when you turn me loose to just roll with it.  I hope you enjoy it, and remember to share your feedback below.
