Ed Stivala gave a traditional talk on a very modern subject - social media networking
How to interact on the internet was his theme
for the audience of entrepreneurs at the Conquest Business
Breakfast staged at the Skyline Restaurant at Bedford College,
sponsors of the event.
LinkedIn is well established for professional
networking, but Facebook offers many types of business
opportunities too. No longer the domain of teenagers and young
people, Facebook shouldn't be overlooked for professional
networking and also as a potential marketing tool. But as Ed
stressed "social media is much more than Facebook and Twitter." The
next big thing is mobile connectivity - when everyone has the world
in their pocket via their iPhone (or similar product).
Ed's
company, n3w media, is also involved in writing “apps” for iPhones
- and if your business isn’t thinking about an “app”, well it ought
to be.
Said Pam Woods (left), founder of Conquest
Business Meetings which are staged across the county: “I believe
there is no substitute for face to face contact of course, but we
all learned a lot from Ed about the way communications and
networking is going in the future.”
