great sessions – so much to talk about
SMCLondon is rocking – I’ve been in three great sessions so far today and it’s great to hear the conversations taking place.
First, How to socialise Indie movies, was the Dogwoof Indie session run by Andy. He told me he got lots of great ideas out of it and is ‘still learning’. He was overwhelmed with new concepts and wants to put into practise what he has garnered today as well as listen more to the community. Well, I’m telling you now that we tried to bully him into doing an internet-only launch for his next movie so keep an eye out at his web site to see if he keeps his promise. Meet him on the photo scavenger hunt later to pressgang him further…
And the second one I attended, which was run by Vero – PRs are after your Soul - had a very different flavour and a lot of opinions to put on the table. Basically are agencies getting it really wrong or sometimes right when engaging in social media PR? was really what we were discussing. A lively session and lots of debate and tweets throughout, means this topic is not going away for a long time.
The third session was with Lucia and Joanna from The Times. They told the story of how they moderated the flash community that sprung up on the Times Online around the G20 Summit and the online news feed. It was a pretty interesting talk on how community moderation can be seen as censorship under the captainship of Murdoch. Funny that, when the reality that Lucia and Joanna had to deal with on the day was completely different. The editorial team was overwhelmed with a deluge of comments and coded messages. So what are the rules of engagement moving forward for commenting and community moderation in the media? Let’s wait and see – there is no clear path forward quite yet but the general opinion is that each audience has a different set of rules.
In the meantime, join us in the Dogleg room for the Something Silly session – it’s a game of 21 – it’s getting a bit kinky!
Ciao for now!
