Blogging 201 from Syracuse BizBuzz
I’d say the Syracuse BizBuzz Social Media Conference this week was a great success.
The buzz was about 325 people showed up. The whole experience was pretty exciting — to be around so many people who want to get more connected and engaged online.
A few hiccups, of course: WiFi was really spotty in the main conference area, especially if you use Verizon, as I do. I wanted to live-tweet keynoter Dave Evans, author of “Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day,” but to do that I had to borrow a friend’s Mac to do so. (The conference offered a login to get free Wi-Fi from the Oncenter, but it didn’t work that well for phones.)
That aside, I met some great people. Shared ideas. Learned some technical tips, especially during the Linked-In seminar. But for me the best takeaway is that we’re part of a something new and exciting. The tips on how to tweet or blog or connect on Linked-In matter less than the energy that spurs us to do it.
If you couldn’t make it to Biz Buzz, here is the power point from my speech on blogging for business. It was aimed to business professionals, but the tips are really relevants for anyone who wants to use their blog to engage. Enjoy.

A great PowerPoint presentation. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of the basics. I’m glad that you wrote specifically about blogging for business because I think that it’s going to be an area where a lot of writers are going to get their start. In fact, I thought that I might even like to move into that area myself. Heather

I havecheap wedding dresses come across
anothelace front wigr device that is apparently
providing free power by utilizing magnets. These things are called Zero Point

It uses magnets and magnetic force to produce perpetual motion. You may have

generators that once started just won’t stop. Hence the claim of free energy! The

is the device is meant to produce more energy than it consumes! There is no requirement for other resources such as wind, water or fossil fuels.
