Have you ever been to a conference that you have paid big bucks to attend and realized that you learned more at the trade show than the actual conference?  I know the Dolphini team has.

This Saturday is PodCamp Nashville 2009 and I know if it is half as good as BarCamp 2008,  I would pay twice as much to go to PodCamp as I would the conferences in far away cities with the extremely large price tags.

But some of the best things in life are FREE!

Although there is not the typical keynote speaker who is paid to present at PodCamp, there are at least thirty great speakers to choose from with sessions from, “Accidental Social Networks” to “Finding your Own Voice – a Female Perspective on Podcasting and New Media.” 

If you are interesed in Web 2.0 Technology or want to become tech savvy, PodCamp Nashville 2009 is the place to be.

Join us this Saturday, March 7th, at Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management from 9am-4pm, ready to learn and grow with Nashville’s Great Tech Community.

Dolphini on Twitter: AdWords and Twitter, is it a good idea?

Michael Krause, CEO of Dolphini, decided to experiment with Twitter.  The premise, use Google AdWords to add Twitter Followers.  Was it a good idea and has the investment paid off?

First we want to clarify, yes this twitter experiment was an “un social” way of social media, but we were curious to see the affects of combing adwords with “social” tweets.

Dolphini prides itself on customer loyalty and relationships.  We are not here for the fast, hard sell, rather we value the time we spend with our clients.  Many times our customers become like family because they spend so much time in our datacenter or we have attended a few Predators games together.  Could we build the same valued relationship with our tweets?

The amazing thing with twitter is that you can!   Do our twitter relationships turn directly into business; we really can’t put dollar figure on it.  But if people know who we are, what we do and can tweet to us and say, ”Hey I just put a support ticket in,” then there is something invaluable that twitter adds to our business:  Communication and Relationships.

Facebook Connect went live last Thursday and may usher in a new way to browse and interact with the Web. The program enhances the connectivity among the social network, its users and the Web pages users visit.

In addition, Facebook shrewdly increases ad revenue for itself and partners while cementing its reputation as the social network of choice for a long time. It does all of that seamlessly while appealing to our very basic urge to show and tell. And that is the distilled brilliance of Facebook Connect: It is the show and tell of the Internet age.

The idea behind Facebook Connect is deceptively simple.
