ReGeneration Catching On At SXSW

by Jason Falls · March 11, 2008

Dell is behind a community of environmentally-conscious friends called ReGeneration. They stopped me between sessions at South by Southwest (SXSW) this weekend and asked what I was doing to look out for the environment. Here’s the video. I’m proud to be featured first in a compilation of answers from great folks.

Honestly, I’m not doing nearly enough to look out for the environment. None of us are. It might be the single most important thing we all take for granted. So let this community serve as a social media mechanism (tool) that serves as a reminder to us all. Join ReGeneration. Stay up to date with their happenings by subscribing to their RSS feed. If anything, it at least will help remind us more frequently to pay attention to the way we treat Mother Earth.

The Marketing Of No Marketing At SXSW

by Jason Falls · March 10, 2008

There might be a social post later, but the “Self-Replicating Awesomeness, The Marketing Of No Marketing,” session is worth a post of its own. In my opinion, six of the top social media and community building minds on the planet were panelists. There’s too much knowledge there to just mention it.

Scott Monty Stowe Boyd and I joined up with Kristie Wells to go to the session, which was weird since it featured her husband, Chris Heuer, along with Jeremiah Owyang, Hugh MacLeod, Deb Schultz and Tara Hunt and moderated by David Parmet. The framework for the conversation was to find out how to market into a community without being overbearing like traditional advertising and how to build community around a product.

Who Do You Want To See On SME TV?

by Jason Falls · March 4, 2008

Going to South by Southwest this weekend offers me the opportunity to gather some great insights and interviews for this blog. There are, frankly, too many cool people, applications and companies to document and investigate, so I’d like your help.

Social Media Explorer TV (that YouTubey thing over there in the side bar) has offered what I think are some strong insights into some interesting topics in the world of social media. I’m taking my camera to Austin and want to interview as many folks as I can but would rather interview the people, talk about the companies and learn about the applications you want to learn about.
