    Virtual events give companies powerful tools to connect with key audiences all over the world for a variety of purposes, whether it’s a sales meeting, a virtual trade show, an annual conference, or online training. Given the rising costs of travel and the growing capabilities of online training resources, it’s apparent that virtual events are going to be an increasingly popular way for organizations to deliver training. The very idea of the “classroom” is evolving as the old days of bricks-and-mortar buildings can be replaced by long distance learning, asynchronous learning and online…

Without further ado, here’s the list, in ascending order of popularity. 5) 5 Tips for Organizing Your Google+ Circles If you’re just getting started with Google+ now, take the time to set up and organize your Circles up front.

  • Guerrilla Marketing for Virtual Events

    Ike Singh
    26 Apr 2012 | 2:13 pm
    Guerrilla Marketing is based on the concept of “guerrilla warfare,” where small groups of lightly armed warriors can engage and defeat a larger, more powerful enemy by using simple tactics and capitalizing on the element of surprise and the advantages of being nimble and adaptable to the terrain. Just like guerrilla warfare is a matter of quickly mobilizing lightly-armed, often untrained soldiers, guerrilla marketing is ideally free or cheap. Instead of spending huge amounts of money on traditional advertising, guerrilla marketing is about making the best use of limited resources and…

    “My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see.” Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank International NGOs (non-governmental organizations) deliver vital services and provide essential assistance in international development, health, education, science, agriculture and other endeavors, and with the technology available today, NGOs have unique opportunities to expand their reach and better deliver information and services in unprecedented ways.

    Ike Singh
    12 Apr 2012 | 2:36 am
    Virtual events are often utilized as a way to build relationships with key customers, train employees or rally the troops for big initiatives – but what about the possibilities of using virtual events for the hiring process? Even in a tight job market, many companies are still struggling to fill key positions that require specialized skills and experience. Good talent continues to be hard to find for many jobs. This creates new opportunities to utilize virtual events to source talent, and to pre-screen and qualify the talent pool by educating people about the specific needs and unique…

  • Want More Klout? Here’s How To Get It.

    Dennis Shiao
    5 May 2012 | 10:04 am
    Introduction In a widely read (and shared) piece in Wired titled “What Your Klout Score Really Means,” Seth Stevenson describes Klout as “a service that purports to measure users’ online influence on a scale from 1 to 100.” The most talked-about aspect of Stevenson’s article is the story of how Sam Fiorella was turned down for a VP position (at a marketing agency) because his Klout score was too low. Fiorella’s score, at the time, was 34 and the job was given to someone with a score of 67. My Views on Klout. Opinions on Klout seem to be at two extremes:…

  • So Just What Is Product Marketing?

    Introduction Riding up a ski lift with a buddy of mine, we got to talking about our jobs. He asked the question, “so just what is product marketing?” I unleashed a number of overused terms, such as “positioning,” “messaging,” and “go to market strategy,” at which point my buddy’s eyes glazed over. Returning home from the ski trip, I was determined to develop a better definition. Here goes: Product Marketing is the art and science of generating attention, interest and adoption of your organization’s products and services. Let me explain further by breaking it down. Attract…

    Photo source: mckaysavage on flickr. Introduction Recently, Mike Swift published an interesting article in The Mercury News, “Ship code or ship out: Bootcamp for new Facebook engineers.” The article provided a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at Facebook’s boot camp for new engineers. I loved reading about the slogans that Facebook reinforces within its team. As Swift notes, “Facebook recruits are exposed to a series of slogans that are intended to encapsulate the company’s values.” Facebook’s Slogans Swift’s article lists the following…

    The following is a guest post from Craig McAllister of Integrated Virtual Networks (IVN). Craig discusses the effectiveness of realistic (vs. graphical) avatars and introduces us to Silhouette, technology that his company has developed to render realistic avatars within a 3D virtual world. Be sure to check out the video demo (below), as I think this could be a game changer. Introduction To many people, today’s avatars represent elaborate animations.
