SXSWi: Who Wants to Like Hemorrhoid Cream

I’ve learned so many things before even getting to SXSWi. For instance, I can now spell “hemorrhoid” without the squiggly red line appearing below it! That alone, is a big win. Maybe not, but since SlideRocket doesn’t seem to have spell check — pretty crucial to my life.

I’m heading off to SXSW tomorrow, and probably won’t be blogging much while I’m there. I will of course be on Twitter, FourSquare and Gowalla!

The hub of my presentation activity is at www.whowantstolike.com. I’ll be posting the presentation there on Sunday, and Nicole Franklin, our awesome PR person at RTCRM will be uploading other goodies as the week goes on. If you want to check out the Twitter activity around the presentation, the hashtag is #want2like.

Everything is Connected

Everything is connected if you can see what's not being said, what's missing, and read between the lines. Understanding those connections not only makes us people, but better marketers. In the end, it's all about understanding how what you are doing is relevant to someone else.

My job is to understand those connections and be able to help you to not only be able to see them, but also use tthose connections to improve the world around you. Sometimes it's just why someone would care about your product. Sometimes its understanding how services like Twitter are help return a lost sense of community.

Either way, it's about making connections.
