Jeff:

Well I only had a few minutes, with the wedding fast approaching, so will come back to finish, but this is great. It's interesting how many folks I have run into recently that say social media is just a fad. Needless to say they are the same folks who apparently aren't using it.

Jeff

Jeff - I agree with you on social media. I think it is only going to get better.

Jeff - You are the man !!!  I have learned a lot about social media just by reading your blog and listening to you at various settings.  One of the places I learned the most was at Inman NYC when you were a speaker there.  But the most rewarding was one of the earlier workshops there.  Last week we registered again for that conference in 2010 !

In any event, thank you for sharing this video.  I plan on listening to the whole video either later today or tomorrow.  I have a feeling it is going to be very informative !  ~ Chris

Jeff..What a wonderful "video"and thank you for posting it.I feel so fortunate to have met you in Philly at ReBarCamp....I love your analogy with the ants a colony building an empire. Social Media if used correctly can build an individual empire if we learn to adapt,learn,and change the way we think.You are so right who would have thought 10 years ago..we would be where we are now..I still have so much to learn..Thanks again

HELPFULHANNAH your friend in Philadelphia

Jeff, Thanks so much for sharing your video.  I am a firm believer in Social Media and am working it daily (and learning so much on AR).

Excellent presentation Jeff. Love the idea of finding trends in the chaos. Makes sense. For the first time.

Just listened and watched the whole video !  Pretty amazing stuff.  I love the analogies to science, ants and complex adaptive systems !  I agree that one of the keys is listening and learning through all the chaos... great stuff.  I have a lot to learn : ) 

It was a great presentation.  And of coulrse having you visit the ATL is always cool.  I enjoyed your presentation... one of only a couple that I broke away from helping with the event to watch... 

Hi Jeff, That was a very good presentation. A little long, lol, but hey , what's time among friends.

Jeff, Thanks for the presentation. The Twitter drone is non-stop and sometimes too much.

But my category of thought is also a small block - I appreciate your honest thoughts and words.

Listen. Is the key.

Jeff, now I have a much better understanding.  It wasn't so much the presentation as much as what the audience was doing that seemed to bring your points home. Very enjoyable.   

I am taking the time to watch the video right now - sounds very interesting!  Thanks for sharing!

That's great, Jeff! You were ahead of the times. I'll watch the video as I have my morning espresso!

Cheers,

Robin

Woo hooooo! I was excited too when I got to see you in person again in ATL, just like Brad. If I had enough money, I'd be a 'Jeff Turner' groupie and follow you around in my Airstream.

Jeff - thanks for posting this video, looks like a good event. Your talks add a new perspective and I always learn something new. I greatly appreciate it :)

Stumbled upon this on my Google Reader and horrified that I had missed it!  Once I got passed my fear of science, and allowed myself to actually understand what you were saying re: complex adaptive systems...and then threw the phrase around my husband a bit and watched him get all googley-eyed (ah-hah, see, honey, I can be smart, too, sumthymes!!)

...I loved the presentation and got a huge amount out of it.  Jeff, this is the first time that I have totally understood, down to the core of my being, exactly how and why social media is fundamentally a listening tool...FIRST.  Engagement second, but listening first.

Marvellous.  Thanks so much.  Wonderment, as always.  J

I always enjoy your candidness!  I no, I didn't think it "sucked"... had to laugh at that!

Jeff - loved the video!  Thanks for sharing it!  Will listen to it again tomorrow morning...I think I'll get even more out of it by listening a second time.  Love the fact that I can do this!

Thanks Jeff, great presentation.

Jeff, that was an excellent presentation! I'm so glad I took the time to listen... and great way to use the "noise" as a tool to make your point about adaptability! Very nice. 

Hey Jeff, I have to tell you I truly appreciate your post and your intuitive view on Social Media.  I first watched this on Friday and found myself quoting you at our sales meeting earlier today.  I'm looking forward to hearing you when you come to Virginia Beach. Tina and Justin have already began the Social Media Blitz for it and I'm hoping to have a 'breakout' session that will compliment your presentation.

Loved how you're bringing in more trasditional science to help explain why SM is here to stay ... and eventually they'll get it.

Hi Jeff, Just came across this today...I Loved the presentation & even re-blogged it with the hope that some of my friends will enjoy it too!  I continue to listen and learn...Thank you!

Great stuff, as usual, Jeff

I may learn something here, if I am not careful.

Great presentation...I loved the concept of using social media to create conversations that will be the instigation for change.

Thanks! Lisa

You suck, I have never heard so much bs in all my life, I cannot believe you get paid to do that.....

just kidding, it was awesome, I loved every word.  I agree with you completely. You said things that have been floating around in my head but you put them all together.  Great speech. Nancy

YEO!

Jeff,

YOu are right on!  Thanks

Jeff, thanks for your insight, People sometimes forget that they are accumulating information in their social media.

"I cant believe how many smart people are wasting their times with social media"

I cant tell you how many times this goes through my head as im blogging and updating my status.
