BlogWorld Expo 2009 Session:
Fitting It All In: Time Management Strategies for Social Media

Panelist:
Amber Naslund

Notes
Get organized, figure out where to spend your time
have tangible goals
netvibes – good way to build a dashboard for listening – twitter search, socialmention, boardtracker, google alerts, addictomatic
spend time on 2-3 tools that are valuable – don’t go chasing all of them
measuring and analyzing – it’s a must

social media maturity
Passive – listening 80%, 20% measuring
Responsive – monitoring, responding, measuring
Engaged – monitoring, research, initiating, responding, measuring
Creating – monitoring, research, initiating, responding, measuring and creating

allocating resources
listening – 1 person, 10-15 hrs per week
engaging, initiating, creating – 1-3 team members, 1-3 hrs per day
measuring – 1 person, 5-10 hrs per week

Managing disruptions – turn off twitter, turn off email

1. Limit # of SM monitoring tools
-Radian6
-Tweetdeck/Hootsuite
2. Turn email off for a few hours a day. Don’t reply immediately
3. Get a task management program and USE IT. “Think” for Mac
-Pick 3 things you must accomplish and do nothing else until they are done
-Pick the ugliest one first
4. Routines
-Sit down for 2 hrs/day, 5 days a week and focus on blogger (or whatever)
-Allocate blocks of time
5. Give yourself permission to forget – read something and write it down.
6. Unplug – take your offline time
7. Pick a finite number of items to respond to and stick with it. It’s okay to not reply to everything. Get over it.

Notes
Microblogs are complementary not competitive
Conversations are fragmenting
You can either go where the readers are or wait for them to come to you
People will only engage with people where they are already commenting
You can go to where they are or you can wait for them to come to you
Measure what matters: Traffic != influence
Keys to building a lasting community = Content + Passion + Engagement
Success with a blog is about commenting to values
Don’t become a slave to focus on your blog without having fun

What are the keys = I control every pixel on my blog
You can personalize your blog over micro-blogs: widgets, links, theme, header,

My Notes:
Session Introduction
Everything is moving faster even it we like it or not

More data is being creating today more than ever
What is real-time
search and discovery
transport of data
live activity with requiring refresh

Real-time search
1st friendfeed
twazzup
Collecata
searchtastic.com
Google isn’t providing real-time search like twitter and/or friendfeed

Friendfeed is like twitter search ++ and it has rich media
Real-Time search

Real-Time data export
Data is flowing everywhere
Problem is trying to get data
Pubsubhubbub = middle man form your content from your data to the networks
RSSCloud

Apps
Twitter Feed
Reader2Twitter – google reader shares to twitter
Pingie
Gnip

Eliminating the Refresh
Hitting the F5 or the refresh button shows you
Facebook is implementing the real-time web
Google Wave – massive collaboration system all at one time in real-time
LazyFeed – great way for finding information by content
Comments: Disqus & JS-Kit Echo

Real Time Summary
More Data. More Places. Faster
Real Time Enables Social Elements
Real Time Keeps Services Synched
Real Time is About Now
