For those who missed the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, here is a video of the Social Media Marketing panel discussion entitled Social Or Anti-Social? The Next Generation of Online Display Ads. The panelists included: Catherine Spurway (PointRoll), Chris Jaffe (Yahoo!), Adam Taisch (Sprout). Moderated by Richard Jalichandra (Technorati).

According to comScore’s Product Manager Tania Yuki, 80% of all net users worldwide watch video online. If this is not a good reason to go to the Streaming Media East 2010 conference then what is?

The conference is entirely focused on online video and streaming media for business. There are 30 sessions with more than 100 speakers but, according to Streaming Media, nearly 75% of the speakers are customers who are buying and deploying these services and products today.

May 11-12, 2010 (Preconference Workshops: Monday, May 10)
Hilton New York
New York, NY

Facebook now tops Google for weekly US web traffic and if it were a country, it would be the 3rd largest in the world. Follow up to the original Social Media Revolution video by Socialnomics author Erik Qualman. Enjoy.

If you are in a service-oriented business then I’m sure you can relate to this video. I once had a client offer to pay me in chocolates! In fairness, she was a gourmet chocolatier and it might have been a sweet deal but I couldn’t get my landlord to bite.
