KickApps Social Media Seminar in NYC

We joined our good friends from eModeration at a social media seminar here in New York City yesterday. The event was also co-hosted by Genius Rocket.

Alex’s presentation talked about the Keys to Success for building great social media experiences. He drew from best practices that we’ve developed as well as with live client examples. (Check out our white paper about creating a successful online community.)

We’re going to be taking the seminars on the road with our next stop in San Francisco scheduled for June 17th (let us know if you’d like to attend). In the meantime, here’s a summary of some of the points that Alex touched on.

1. The power of the Social Graph
2. Your website facilitates social interactions
3. Content as a pillar of your community
4. Allow people to talk to each other
5. Contextual integration and syndication
6. An online community is a living and breathing thing
7. Don’t live in a silo, think about how your web presence lives on your own site, Facebook and others
8. Integration with other systems: CRM, CMS, analytics, etc.
