Bryan Person's Blog: Microblogging

In two weeks, on Thursday, December 11, I'll be on the "hot seat" in Ottawa (or maybe I should call it the "cold seat" since it'll be Ottawa in December; brrr!) at that city's Social Media Breakfast 5.

SMB Ottawa organizers Simon Chen, Ryan Anderson, and Rob Lane have tapped James Lewis, executive director of the Canadian Interactive Alliance, to interview me for a 2008 Social Media Year in Review.

We'll be focusing on the broad business trends in social media from the last 11-12 months and looking ahead to what changes could be in the offing for 2009.

More details are in this video:



I've already started my note-taking and preparation for the conversation with James, but I'd like to ask for your input, too:

What are the most significant business developments/events/trends you've seen across the social media landscape 2008? Where do you see social media marketing headed in 2009?

You can leave comments just about anywhere I might find them -- on this blog (I'm also cross-posting to BryanPerson.com), on FriendFeed, or on Twitter, using the hashtag #SM0809.

I pledge to provide a full report on the interview and how I included your contributions in a follow-up post next month.
