On March 11th, 2010 I attended a presentation by Tara Alemany. The topic was “WHY of Social Media.” Let me tell you that the audience consisted of people ranging from 25 to 84 years old. I don’t remember when I did ever observe such attention from the attendees before. Tara captured their attention instantaneously and kept it until the last minute, receiving long and warm ovations for the job well done.
Being myself one of those baby boomers who has to keep up with technology, I did have my presence on Facebook and LinkedIn before the presentation, but was not sure about necessity of adding it to Twitter. I didn’t see how all these social sites could work in conjunction. I didn’t see a lot of stuff before I had an opportunity to listen to Tara. She was able in a very easy way to clarify some of the confusing topics, and the confusion melted away very quickly. I can highly recommend to anybody at any age, and any level of computer knowledge, to attend Tara’s presentation when the opportunity comes, or contact her directly and get a “private lesson.” You’ll be amazed how much more productive will you become on the social sites, improving the opportunities to grow your business.
