I really agree with you. Its one of the reasons I chose to not go to BlogWorld this year. I went to WOMM-u expecting more, but frankly the gap in knowledge between the snakes and, as they say in this election cycle “Main Street,” makes it hard to do conferences that well. Though, like you, I very much enjoyed meeting and hanging out with people I don't get to see often.

This is exactly why I did the two 101 programs this month for the Colorado Business Marketing Association. I think that more needs to be done at a local level to share knowledge and ideas.

Well, I've recently reached out to several of the campus groups at my alma mater (UCLA) to talk to them about social media and how they might improve their communication and outreach efforts to the student population and their members. I didn't approach them on a “hire me” basis (though speaking to them and engaging them will help me out in my own endeavors). Frankly, I think that there's A LOT that they can do if they started to use some of these social media tools in their communication efforts.

Anyway, just sharing some of what I'm doing to evangelize social media for what I hope to be the greater good…

I had a similar observation after returning from the New Media Expo last year. Seems like two things happen: we all get sucked into all the cool tools and lost sight of what they're supposed to do and, 2) we forget to let the rest of the world know why this is important.
