14 Social Media Professionals to watch in 2010 from the Triangle, NC

stage

If there’s two things most of my friends and colleagues know about me is that I love living in the Triangle, NC area which includes Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill and that I love technology/gadgets/social media. This area has one of the largest and smartest technology communities in the world and more than often I think is over looked by others.

A few weeks ago I saw a tweet from someone asking about what cities have strong social media communities and they were listing New York, Austin, Miami and the “Valley” which are worthy but don’t forget about the Triangle area too. With more companies starting to implement social media strategies into their marketing efforts or use social media for customer service we have seen an impact from various companies in the area either from creating new positions or launching new products or using social media for community outreach.

Below is a list of social media professionals in the Triangle Area who I believe are ones to watch in 2010.

Twitter List: 5 tools & 5 must read Twitter list blog post and resources

Wayne Sutton (waynesutton) on Twitter-2

Twitter list have been out for a while and regardless if you’re a fan of the feature or not they have their purpose. A few weeks ago I asked on Twitter if I should write a blog post about Twitter List because it seemed that the entire blogosphere had written post about it. The response was “sure” because a few people wanted to here my two cents about Twitter List. So my two cents is that Twitter list adds value to Twitter the platform and is useful to filter Tweets and content/people by subject matter/conversations. What I don’t like about Twitter List is how people are using the number count to judge your “influenced” or rankings by the amount of list you are in. But that is a part of Twitter’s friends/followers numbers game that works with its brand and we just have to live with it.

Now that the dust have settled a little on Twitter list, a few tools/sites have been created to make Twitter list more valuable to your brand outside of just to see how many list you can be listed in.
