Michael Brito from Intel talks about Social Media

I will be posting a video from this event in a few weeks. POSTED!

Some key points from this talk:
- train people in your company on how to use social media and allow them to blog, tweet, etc. once they finish the class;
- apply 80/20 rule when tweet;
- cross-reference all social media channels your company uses;
- read “Groundswell” !
- understand well your target market - what social media channels they use and how and then develop your strategies;
- if you decide to use social media/strategy consultants use the ones with enterprise experiences if you are with the enterprise!

Video recording of Michael’s talk:
