And what have learned?
That I can not Tweet, live blog, network and record podcasts and videos at the same time! The job of live reporting online is challenging.
And if you are looking for someone to help you build a community online, you find someone who is a journalist who has recently lost their job due to the current downturn in traditional media.
They know how to connect, how to engage, how to create content. Hire them now before your competitor does.

Whilst listening to Euan Semple this morning in Manchester City Stadium, talking about using Twitter nearly 2 and a half years ago, it makes you wonder what has taken it so long to become mainstream. Only in the past 6 months has Twitter taken hold of the public consciousness, and we are still far from accepting it. There is still reticence, fear and confusion about or why businesses (or individuals) should get involved.
As Euan said this morning the internet is ‘a world of niches’, and this is what can be so beneficial for businesses. Technologies such as Twitter, Facebook and alike, allow those niche audiences to engage with content, information, call it what you will – but whatever you call it, they want to engage with it.
We have put together a little further reading for you to get a perspective on how your business may be able to benefit from these new technologies:
