Social Media Podcast

Yesterday, after an extremely busy week, we managed to record the next Social Media Podcast which includes an interview with Alastair Campbell, author of "The Blair Years" and former Director of Communications for the Labour Party. Alastair masterminded Tony Blair's election win in 1997 and worked very closely with him until 2007. In the interview he talks about the role of Social Media in politics in the run up to the next election...very interesting and worth a listen.

We also discussed the forthcoming New Media Breakfast and announce the New Media Breakfast Edinburgh.

The new Social Media Podcast will be available on Monday.

New or Social Media is on everyone’s lips, we hear references to Twitter, Facebook, Linked-In and other new media tools on a daily basis but, do we really understand them or know what they do? The New Media Breakfast will be a monthly event that introduces you to the various aspects of new media.

Each New Media breakfast will feature specific areas of new media and show live examples of how commercial businesses and non-profit organisations are using these to market themselves online. All presentations will be followed by a Q&A session and a chance to network with other attendees.

• Social networking - Facebook, Bebo, MySpace etc.

• Blogging
• Micro blogging - Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook Status Updates etc.
• Live broadcasting - Audio and Video

awareness, increase brand loyalty and improve customer relationships.
