taerowynApparently I've somehow become a big enough dork that I'm willing to sacrifice my whole weekend for a conference on social media...and be happy with that decision.
I went 45% to learn new things, 45% for professional networking (as a a "just in case" measure re: the economy/jobs etc.) and 10% to meet new people outside of my normal sphere.
Overall it was a pretty good conference. Learned some good stuff, it sparked a few ideas, met some good folks etc.
It's funny though, throughout the conference, I kind of saw myself as a newbie to this whole social media endeavor. And when it comes to using it professionally, I totally am. But just tonight I realized, looking at my LJ, that when you get right down to it, I've been involved in social media for more than 8 years now.
Huh...
