Email and a telephone is Twitter and a blog; you already know how to do this.  -Liz Strauss

Well, I’m here in Falls Church VA for a lovely day and a great conference- the 2nd annual Blog Potomac.  Lots of friendly folks and interesting speakers.  And… and… the talking heads on sound system right now (I’m a fan).

Everything I’ve heard so far has been worthwhile, even if it’s covered some familiar ground.  Here are a couple of the take-aways as I digest my (delicious) lunch from dccenntralkitchen.  You can find all of these folks at the Blog Potomac website.

-Sphere Of Influence (SOI) is great, but you better connect it to ROI.  -Shel Holtz

-You can make up your own #hashtags on Twitter to make your point.  -Shireen Mitchell

-Ford has 200,000 employees, and one social media guy (who happens to be Scott Monty).

-If you want to be a leader in social media, don’t start with people; start with relationships.  -Liz Strauss

-Social media is dead.  -Geoff Livingston, who hosted the conference.
