Social Media Interview: Barbara Talisman

Posted by: Tom Keefe, in IABC, Uncategorized, communications, social media, video

Barbara-Talisman-thumb-150x150On Feb. 16, 2010, IABC/Chicago held a professional development session titled, “Making the Most Effective and Efficient Use of Your Time.” Barbara Talisman, president of Talisman Associates, Inc., delivered the presentation.

UPDATED 2/28/2010: I finally was able to upload the video to the IABC/Chicago YouTube channel. I’ve deleted the PodPress videos, which took too long to load, and embedded the YouTube video. Enjoy!

In this 8:45-minute video, Barbara is interviewed by IABC/Chicago volunteer Wanda Whitson. They discuss:

  • The benefits of a social media policy for organizations, and the risks if companies don't have one
  • Some of Barbara's favorite social media tools
  • An example of a successful social media campaign for an external audience
  • Who 'owns' social media within an organization
  • Then, two session attendees share one learning that they obtained from the session

    It’s a shame Ms. Talisman didn’t follow her advice about social media and using responsibly before making herself look anything but responsible:

    Jane, the link you include leads to a blog post from last September. I noticed that the blogger, Danny Brown, added the following updates to his orignal post:

    Update September 27 – It looks like Barbara has removed the original post about 12for12k, follow-up and apology from her blog. You can see the original post as a PDF – open or download it here.
    Update September 28 – Barbara sent me an email today on top of her apology. I responded, accepting her apology and thanking her for her approach in this way, and that hopefully we can move forward from here.

    It seems that Barbara apologized for her original post (which she removed) and Danny accepted that apology.

    That’s a good thing, isn’t it? Who says that social media users can’t make mistakes?
