Visual Live Blog: Scott Stratten Breaks up with Social Media at PubCon
At PubCon 2010 in Dallas, UnMarketer (@unmarketing) Scott Stratten’s keynote “Social Media, We Have to Talk” was, well, Scott. That means funny, frank, and contrarian. The audience loved him.
His keynote rant ranged from “Breaking up with Social Media” to the fallacy of getting rich quickly from social media, to Twitter etiquette. However, it was his constant assertion that great content is the source and sustenance of social success that endeared me to Scott.
Coincidentally, the best conversion strategy is to produce great content.

Thanks this is a fun way to view the talk for folks who weren’t there.
Alex, it’s quite fun to capture the talk this way, too. Of course, Scott was some trouble to keep up with.
