My Wonderings

Chris Brogan, co-author of Trust Agents and one of few “true” social media gurus, recently spoke to New Media Atlanta. He shared the following video online for our viewing pleasure:

Some of the things I find most significant in this talk are:

• The large screen showing people’s Twitter thoughts during his speech demonstrates how much he values listening to other’s opinions even during his Keynote.
• Many people “think” they’re listening, but how many bother to reach out and engage the conversations online?
• I love the concept of the social phone is ringing and his challenge “Will you answer it?”

I just finished reading his book, Trust Agents, and I think it’s vital reading for everyone interested in influencing people, whether it is as a business person, church, church leader or Joe the Plumber with an opinion.

Take a look and tell me what you think.
