Tony Veroeven
Providing Big Ideas for your Educational Content
Omnipress - Your partner with the big ideas
Madison, Wisconsin
Tony believes that life is all about the attitude you choose to have, and his positive outlook shows in all of his interactions with customers and co-workers alike. His great attitude is paired with a solid background of 20 years of experience of serving clients and building relationships.
Outside the office, Tony is a self-proclaimed “soccer dad,” finishing up his bachelor’s degree in business, and enjoys a variety of outdoor activities with his wife and two sons. In particular, Tony likes to spend his time gardening and landscaping. He recently built a 165 gallon rain barrel system connected to a drip irrigation. While Tony is environmental-minded, he admits he built the “auto-watering system” more out of laziness because, really, who wants to water for an hour each night?
Tony also enjoys eating geographically named foods in their named origin… He has had a “New York strip” in New York, “Denver omelette” in Denver, “key lime pie” in Key West, “Georgia peach” in Georgia, “Philly cheesesteak” in Philadelphia, and “Peking duck” in Peking/Bejing. Next up? Maine lobster?

"Katherine:I'd recommend Camtasia ($299) if you will do a lot of editing and want lots of options for publishing to different formats. But, if you are just wanting to take a simple video, trim and sent out the door, just use Windows Movie Maker.Most XP installations already have it.You can find it by clicking: Start, Run, Programs, Accessories, Entertainment.

"Abena,What a great question! I'm glad you've joined. It's probably the "Thesis" question of this entire community. :)I'll start off by saying there are many answers to this question, none of them written in stone.I would start off by watching this recorded "Social Media at Events" - webinar that happened last month on Engage365: http://bit.ly/socialmediaforeventsAlso, register for the webinar: ..."

"Shawn, One doesn't have to be a giant Nasdaq-bluechip companies to perform good customer service on Twitter or other social technologies.

She had tweeted about her dissatisfaction in general, but was interacting with a person on the phone to resolve the issue. ..."

"Eric,Good Question.I think Lindy was just commenting that he is an iPhone user (as am I). Not sure about Lindy, but I am a passionate iPhone user first, then an AT&T customer second...at least that's how I rationalize it. To her point, iPhone is only available through AT&T Wireless although there's rumors of it being available on Verizon in 2010 or 2011.I digress, but I don't think she is sugge..."

"Matt,Don't go deep in to Twitter if you will be talking to the "ether".My first instinct would be to find out where your members are, meaning the ones that ARE using social media technology. My first thought is "are these non computer people on Facebook?" Even my mom, who is not computer savvy, is still on Facebook. Facebook and other social media outlets are "aging up".I look forward to seeing..."

Creating original content, no matter what the format or medium it comes in, is the most important thing.Reach out and put the content where it will be consumed, but don't stretch yourself too thin."

"How is your organization leadership "taking" to social media. I'd love to hear if they are having a "V-8" moment (hand to the forehead), or if you are struggling to use any type of social technology in conjunction with your event.If you are one that has concerns, what are they and what are you doing about it?"
