Plurkaholics!

Hi Plurkaholics! I’ll be speaking at the upcoming PodCamp AZ (Arizona). My topic will be “Power Plurking and Using Social Media as a Personal and Business Development Tool”.

I aim to offer a fresh perspective on the use of this new social media platform for the attendees, many of whom may be interested in leveraging the power of collective intelligence for self discovery and business brainstorming.

Some of my speaking points would include:
- cultivating peer-to-peer relationships
- creating virtual mastermind groups and your personal thought leader advisors
- assessing personal and business ROI (return on investment) of your social media tool

I’m excited to be given an opportunity to share how social media has worked for me both personally and professionally!

Sheila Dee even gave me a cool bio page on the site:

What makes you a Plurkaholic? I love the conversations and ideas that flow on the site. I can’t resist getting involved in conversations ranging from politics to computer problems, to interface issues, to silly stuff. I love that I can pop on the site anytime and see what is going on and what has been going on.

But the biggest thing that makes me a Plurkaholic is that I can’t resist popping in from where ever I am and sharing with others. I plurk from the Phx Mercury games, I plurk from the road, I plurk from home. I am on Plurk whenever possible!

When you’re not Plurking what do you do? I am the new Community Manager for AllVoices, Inc. They run www.AllVoices.com – citizen media at its best. This is a great fit for me because I can share a site I believe in, help them improve it, and help people connect with the world around them all at the same time. My view of the site is that it is a place for you to report, discuss, and learn about the news that matters to you.

When I am not on the computer, I love to read and write. I am married to a computer gladiator who won’t do social media because he says “I have a life”, but who has been on SlashDot for many years.
