The Mic Is On: Mark Davidson on The Art of Self Promotion

March 10, 2009 by Liz


It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Guest host Mark Davidson, Social Media Promoter

Man about Twitter, Internet strategist, and social media manager, Mark Davidson, will be here to talk about nuances self-promotion and Twitter.

  • Is self-promotion an art or a science?
  • What’s good and bad self-promotion?
  • Is it ever good to be shameless?
  • How do you get other folks to promote for you?
  • What’s the secret to promoting on Twitter?
  • And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

    Oh, and bring example links about your ideas.

Paths Crossing and History

August 25, 2008 by Liz

I've been thinking . . .

about paths crossing.

On the airplane coming home from Seattle and Gnomedex, a parade of exhuasted reflections were passing through my mind. They began because the man who sat beside me resembled the business partner I had traveled to the conference to meet. They stayed because of important conversations with important old and new friends like Beth Kanter, Brian Solis, Mark Davidson and Ponzi Pirillo. Mostly faces and important sentences kept crossing my mind. What was striking about them was that they were marking people and moments in my past, new friends in my present, and the future I as I want it to be.

Eric Rice and I couldn’t figure out how we knew each other. We finally gave up and decided that it must have been in some past life or that it hasn’t happened yet that we do. Duncan Riley and I have known each other so long and yet we just talked for the very first time.

Saturday night by a fireplace with Duncan and I talked about the days when we first started blogging to where life has brought us. At some point, Eric Rice happened by to take this photo.

And our paths crossed in time. Now they’re all part of my personal history.
