Despite a hellish journey home*, I enjoyed the evening and met some great people, so I decided to come back again last night for this month&#8217;s talk. I may feel like an interloper from &#8220;analogue North Bucks&#8221; &#8211; and it would be fair to ask why I&#8217;m at an event for networking amongst the Surrey digerati &#8211; but my first two experiences of Digital Surrey have been great, so it looks like I could become a regular, if they&#8217;ll have me!<\/p>\n<p>Last night&#8217;s talk was from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thoroughlygood.me\/\">Jon Jacob<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/thoroughlygood\">@thoroughlygood<\/a>), a BBC writer, journalist and producer &#8211; who was at pains to point out he was speaking on behalf of himself, and <em>not the BBC<\/em>. Actually, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thoroughlygood.me\/2011\/06\/23\/digitalsurrey-social-media-the-bbc-and-me\/\">Jon has a post about his own performance, which is worth a read<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I took a lot of notes in his talk, which included his reading test on LBC whilst being constantly heckled by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sandi_Toksvig\">Sandi Toksvig<\/a>, but I think it was best summarised with these points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jon has used and shamelessly exploited social media to build a &#8220;brand&#8221; and pursue a career.<\/li>\n<li>Social media is at risk of being taken\u00a0over by dangerous forces who don&#8217;t understand it. Many of us\u00a0like using it, or tolerate it, but more and more people are using social media, including groups that don&#8217;t &#8220;get it&#8221;. Early adopters need to keep an eye out for:\n<ul>\n<li>Protest-driven people who know technology, bring together armies of geeks and put together massive project management teams to deliver projects in time and budget.<\/li>\n<li>People with a little bit of information &#8211; they learn how to use Twitter on a Tuesday afternoon and set up as &#8220;social media experts&#8221; on Wednesday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Social media is a conversation to tap into for stories and sources. More fundamentally it&#8217;s a transaction between the author and their own audience. If\u00a0we\u00a0post something on Facebook, implicitly\u00a0we want attention: if we deny it we&#8217;re liars! It&#8217;s the same for Twitter &#8211; about the actor and the audience &#8211; not about how large is the audience&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>If\u00a0we listen to a radio programme and don&#8217;t like then\u00a0we won&#8217;t listen again&#8230; it&#8217;s the same for TV&#8230; if it&#8217;s a bit tired we&#8217;ll go elsewhere. If that&#8217;s how it works for radio and TV, surely it must be the same for social media?<\/li>\n<li>It doesn&#8217;t matter how many followers you have, the focus is about copy\/editorial, not the\u00a0medium.<\/li>\n<li>The secret to engaging copy is that the personality flows through. Be the same person on the medium and in person. Tap into joy rather than avoid it. Exploit everything about yourself in a good way and turn into something (on a personal level or a corporate level).<\/li>\n<li>Social media is nothing more than a distribution method, just as\u00a0TV and radio are.<\/li>\n<li>The thing that excites Jon is coming up with ideas and doing things. Maybe people have ideas and feel a bit frightened. Maybe they have ideas and &#8220;marketing&#8221; didn&#8217;t like something. Clearly there are certain laws to follow but it&#8217;s actually quite difficult to be that naughty. It&#8217;s hard to bring down governments!<\/li>\n<li>We need to tap into people with ideas. Don&#8217;t just ask them to write a blog post but inspire them, create a delicate ecosystem, get people enthused. That can&#8217;t be bottled or put in a book but we&#8217;re missing a trick if we&#8217;re selling something and have teams of copywriters &#8211; maybe we need to do break out of our boundaries and do something different.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By the way, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/markwilsonit\/statuses\/83987118229176320\">Jon&#8217;s talk to be completely engaging<\/a> (thoroughly good, one might say). I saw some negative comments and sure, maybe he went off in a few seemingly random directions, but at all times I was completely switched on to what he was saying. There&#8217;s not too many presentations where I can say that!<\/p>\n<p>*OK, so &#8220;hellish&#8221; is a slight exaggeration but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.highways.gov.uk\/\">Highways Agency<\/a> did close 5 out of the 6 lanes on the M1 northbound where the M25 filters in, at around 10pm, to lean a ladder up against an overhead gantry. I&#8217;m sure the resulting queues were just for their own amusement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month I travelled down to Farnham to see Michael Wu&#8217;s talk on the Science of Gamification at Digital Surrey.
