Social Media SMW Day 4: Discovering New Music Plus Ian “Enable” Wyatt
Ian “Enables” My Gaming Habit
Red Bull Space knows how to do Happy Hour. Not only did they provide alcohol for Social Media Week attendees last week, but they provided video games! Each day of SMW11, attendees could hang out in the Gaming Lounge and drink Red Bull & Vodkas as they tried their hand at Wii Snowboarding, raced in Gran Turismo, or shot at enemy soldiers in the new HALO Reach game. The star of the Happy Hour on the third day of SMW, however, was Ian “Enable” Wyatt. At only 17 years old, he’s one of the top HALO players in the world! Gaming fans had the opportunity to play with Wyatt in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing them to get into the minds and play-style of one of their gamer idols. And so did I!

Social Media Tweet Like the Stars (or Learn From Celebrity Mistakes) – Social Media Week Day 3
Who would’ve thought that a panel about celebrity tweeting would’ve been so intelligent? When I first saw the description of this panel, I thought it would be a bit of fluff. However, when you put together a panel of people who are not only pop culture reporters, but true journalists, you realize that there’s a lot more going on than just who’s sleeping with whom. (Though there’s plenty of that, too).
At the Tweet Like the Stars: Celebrities Using Social Media to Successfully Build Their Brands panel at Red Bull Space, BuzzMedia organized a panel of well-respected editors and columnists from both print and online entertainment news sources: Mike Hess (Celebuzz), Eloise Parker (OK! Magazine), Bonnie Fuller (Hollywood Life), Rob Shuter (PopEater), moderated by Mike Porath, SVP of Programming at BuzzMedia. They managed to not only successfully examine how celebrities are using social media to build their brands, but also translate how those same techniques could be applied to themselves and to businesses that have nothing to do with entertainment.

Social Media Twitter Saves Music at SMW
If Day 1 was all about singing Facebook’s praises, Day 2 was all about how Twitter kicks Facebook’s ass; at least as far as the music industry is concerned…
Is Social Media Music’s Savior?

Social Media Social Media Week Day 1: Real-life vs Facebook, Africa and More
Social media will never replace real-life, human interaction. This was the surprising, but reassuring theme of Social Media Week 2011 in NYC (there were also events in nine other cities). Both big events I attended at Red Bull Space on the first day kept coming back to that idea; that social media is a wonderful tool, but at the end of the day, success is determined by the quality of your relationships with other human beings. Shocking, right?
