Keeping it Open

des — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 03:11:56 +0000

For people in the social media / PR 2.0 space who like some flexibility in how they define or describe their professional roles, this site and its participant requirements are about as friendly as we could make them. It’s pretty much a self-selecting process, with the one slightly restrictive requirement that we expect people putting their profile up here to have been working in the field for at least a year.

For people who like more precise definitions and more stringent entry requirements, there may be an element of discomfort. We hope, if you are working in the field, you will join anyway: you never know, you might get to like it here!

If you are a fan of Ricardo Semler (Maverick, The Seven- Day Weekend) you’ll understand that there is a seriousness of purpose underlying the laissez faire approach Lonnie and I are taking here, not just about requirements for participation, but about what the site might evolve into and how it might operate in the meantime.

In other words, we are making it up as we go along. And we are not embarrassed about that. We think that is actually quite smart, given how fast the world, the economy, the social media space itself, are changing.

But that’s just what we think. Or at least, today, what I think. It’s what Lonnie thought yesterday, but that was then and I haven’t discussed it with him today.

What’s your view about how this site can develop to help us all – or as many of us as want to play?

Just as long as we keep it fun. Please.

About Social Media Consultants

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:45:07 +0000

This site is the first ready reference site that provides a geographical and specialty sorted list of Social Media and PR 2.0 Specialists and Consultants world-wide. Several of the world’s most respected social medians and PR 2.0 consultants have already agreed to be part of this network.

There is not–nor will there ever be–a fee to include your bio here. Any ads that might appear–and there will be very few allowed–will be carefully screened.

So, you ask, why did Des and I put this together? We are not wholly sure except that we saw a need for a one-stop shopping list for those who wanted to engage services or just connect with a social media person near them. That translates to mean that we are open to additions to the site that will make it more meaningful for all of us and welcome your input–this is after all a conversational site.

For now we are on a WordPress platform and will move at some point to a more robust vehicle that will allow for greater individual freedom for all of us.

Start-ups and established social media platforms may also place a business outline here. Please make your outline informative and not merely a pitch.

If you are a visitor, welcome and if you are a social media consultant: Please see the page on How to Begin to get your profile up and active! Thanks for stopping in…
