"Kevin - Thanks for the links. I am not familiar with Jane's work and will check it out.
I have been fascinated by the whole concept of 'time and place' since my studies of Quantum Mechanics in college chemistry and physics. Who would have thought there would be practical, real-life applications!
I'll admit to being a little out of touch with social gaming..."

"This is going to get a whole lot more interesting with the soon to be launched Facebook Places - their geo-location service that will also partner with Foursquare and others. Here's a post I wrote this evening that gives you an overview of how it works and what it means for businesses and events: http://bit.ly/bHelJB

"Chris - I've appreciated the diverse group of professionals and the wisdom and expereince everyone brings to the table. I especially enjoy the water cooler chats.
Is it possible to make it easier to engage and interact with everyone? For example, it would be nice to have a search feature by keywords, location, interests, etc. Or maybe I just don't understand the technology..."
Jun 29
"Vanessa - This is a common question that I get when I am speaking (primarily to small business owners). My response falls into that same area as so many other efforts that serve to humanize a business.
For example, everyone knows that off-site teambuilding activities help everyone in an organization get to know each other and their families better. But how do you meaur..."
Jun 2
"Kevin - Your thoughts on using Foursquare to encourage specific behaviors is exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that article. I'm not sure that is as easily accomplished with something like Twitter.
It just so happens that DoubleDutch read my article and wanted to chat about why they are a better choice for conventions than Foursquare. So I will circle back and share wha..."
May 28
"Chris - Great comments that I agree with 100%.
My approach to Facebook is simple. If you are a member of a community where I hang out, such as a member of an association I am active with, then I will friend you. I take the approach that if we have many friends in common then we should probably get to know each other. In my mind this is like being friendly with your neighbors..."
May 14
"Scott - Absolutely true about YouTube.
I saw a chart recently that listed all of the big ones. What I'm finding is my content is all getting indexed very VERY easily. Just for fun I did a blog post this week with specific terms that someone would use to search for someone like me - but that I had never used before in exactly that way - within 24 hours I was on page 5 of ..."
Apr 30
"Kari - So what I am hearing is that this is not that difficult to do. Can you share a few tips on how to accomplish this? :)
Jeff"
Apr 21
"Oops! Sorry Chris, those comments weren't supposed to be public, especially about bragging on my site :) ...I guess they are now.
Thanks for taking care of that. We're all set for the webinar.
Jeff"
Apr 20
"Chris - congrats on the 98...I'm right there with you: http://websitegrader.com/site/jeffkorhan.com
Hey, I send you a message about the edit on that blog post. Also, where you list the three posts of the week, the link to mine doesn't work i.e. not the link to the post where it stands alone, but up above where they are listed together in the body of your post

"Chris -
One of the challenges is having a critical mass of involvement - especially before the event.
At a recent green industry association event that I have attended many times - an assocition where I am a guest blogger, I made a blog post to encourage the nearly 1,000 student attendees to enage on Twitter to maximize their networking with industry leaders.
The association posted ..."
Mar 31
"John - I have personally found the vendors/exhibitors to be very respectful and mindful of not direct selling. In fact, I attend one convention every year, and normally on the last day - a Saturday, they are packing up and getting out hours before the official time because most of the association members are leaving too.This past October I passed through the expo and was astonished to look at ..."
Mar 26
"Maggie - 11 Mayor badges? It may be time to run for Governor! I have had a number of conversations about the adoption rate. That is something we will definitely cover on the April 7th webinar. Some have informed me on Twitter that it is a location thing, and I know from my own experience that it can be a market issue as well. As Dave points out, Bing indeed is adding Foursquare to Maps - t..."
Mar 24
"Dave - Just check in with Foursquare every now and then (no pun intended - o.k., maybe a little!) - as I believe they are close to upgrading the capabilities to where you could use it to maximize your benefits at ASAE.Jeff"
Mar 23
"Hey everyone - thank for the conversation. It's interesting that we all apply different rules in to our contacts and friends on these networks. My Facebook rule, for example, is anyone who is a friend or a friend of a friend is fine with me. I make assumptions that with better connectivity they will all become friends. On LinkedIn I'm a bit more selective, though, I know people who treat Lin..."
Mar 11
"Beth - Here is a blog post I recently wrote on my favorite 12 iPhone Apps for Small Business Efficiency, Learning, and Sharing: http://bit.ly/dvj2INMany of the apps are connected to online sites, so they are more than apps. Besides Evernote, which many have heard of and use, Checkvist is probably my biggest time-saver. It's a collaborative checklist that is online. There is nothing sexy abo..."

"Jeff - Participation Guide - excellent idea! I know I'll be applying in my work with associations. Jeff"

"The best teleprompter is the one I use when speaking - a mental one. I write out the keywords and practice sequentially linking them in my mind. This frees me to just be myself without any notes.Seriously, if you practice this some, you will find it is an easy skill to learn. When I did use a teleprompter to record videos, it was the low-tech handwritten note. I really believe, just as with ..."

"Sam and Corbin - I think we all agree Google needs to decide what Wave will look like when it grows up. So, no additional commentary needed on that. :)I tend to agree this will take some some, especially for certain industries that are just now warming up to social media. Recently, I was a presenter at a green industry conference, appropriately named GIC for Green Industry Conference. Out of..."
Dec 31
"Oops. I made a comment on your blog, but can do the same here. The collaborative "group" may be limited to one. While I haven't tried this, I understand some are using Google Wave simply to brainstorm with themselves. Hmmm...I think I'll stick to my journal for that. :)"
Dec 30
"I'll be honest. Not all of the NSA agreed with my enthusiasm for using Google Wave during presentations. So feel free to challenge them as they did. I'm afraid I'm speaking during the NSA Winter conference and will miss that, but I'll look for you at the summer convention.Jeff"
Dec 29
"Corbin - We haven't had the opportunity to meet, but we are both NSA members, so consider this an introduction. You may wish to consider some of the comments I made in regards to Google Wave on my article, "The New Playground - A Digital Conference Collaboration" that is posted here on Engage365: http://bit.ly/8uc0Pj I do believe that once Google works out the functionality and gets Wave in ..."
Dec 8
"I couldn't agree more!I just wrote an article for the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) that touches on this very point. I intentionally did not give the article a sexy title, because that is the point - It's not all about the technology. Those older dudes have a thing or two to teach the young techies, like the street smarts that come from operating a successful business for 20 or 30 yea..."

"Great info. My favorite take-away was dividing the material into three groups for better learning:1. Materials and Information that participants can read and review on their own.2. Knowledge and information that benefits from listening and questioning a subject matter expert.3. Shared knowledge and experiential learning that benefits from interaction between participants.This is especially hel..."
