I have questions – do you have answers?

new-media-cincinnati

Last Saturday, as well as back in June, we did Questions from a Hat at New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday.  I told the group to ask any questions they wanted, whether related to social media or technology or not.  The questions were as varied as the group.

You can find some answers the group came up with via the UStream recorded videos, including ones from yesterday’s blog post.  But, I’d like to know what you think, so I’m including the questions people at last Saturday’s event asked. Pick one or more of these and share your thoughts. Feel free to add your answers in the comments or trackback via your own website.

Thanks in advance! Ready? Here we go:

  1. Is anyone interfacing social media with the traditional media outlets? (i.e., combining social media with traditional media. Examples?)
  2. Is Classmates.com a viable value proposition for social media in the future?
  3. What was Twitter like in 2006?
  4. Best place to start: Twitter, Facebook, blog, or other?
  5. What WordPress plugins are you using, and what do you like best about them?
  6. Explain FriendFeed.
  7. Has anyone created a realistic R.O.I. (Return on Investment) measurement for social media?
  8. What’s the best social media tool for a portfolio?
  9. How can I drive traffic to my WordPress blog?
  10. LinkedIn or Facebook? Or both?
  11. Does anyone have the ability to coax info off a mostly dead laptop’s hard drive for less than 12 zillion dollars?
  12. Do you see mobile marketing on the increase in US?
  13. Why do you still have that profile pic? Need a new one?
  14. How much networking is too much?
  15. What are some tips for starting a social media community like New Media Cincinnati in an area that doesn’t have much going on?
  16. Is The Pub at Rookwood Mews (where we held New Media Cincinnati) a good place to get fish and chips?
  17. What is a virtual business card, and how can someone create one?
  18. How can you measure Twitter conversation?
  19. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck could chuck wood?
  20. What are some tips for an aspiring blogger to get started?
  21. How do I record video from my Firewire camera and audio from a separate microphone into my Mac computer?
  22. What tools do you recommend for cleaning up your Twitter follower list?
  23. What are the best Twitter applications for Blackberries?
  24. How can we best monitor our children’s activities on the internet?

    21. iMovie is the easiest way to upload your video on a Mac. It'll also allow you to upload/record sound from a microphone or other source and then layer it over your video if you so chose. Of course there are other programs that'll also do this and to varying degrees of complexity, but most newer (I have an 2004 G4 and it came w/it) Macs come with iMovie preloaded.
