Two More Social Media News Releases

369861_GraphingSocialPatternsIt’s Social Media News Release Week!  (Hadn’t you heard?)

Two more SMNRs hit the wires today.  One was from our client, HubSpot.  I am going to blog a bit more about HubSpot in the next day or so because “what they’re up to” is cool and relevant to many readers of this blog.  In the meantime, though, I want to point ya’ll to the release and specifically suggest that you take 2 minutes to “grade” your website or blog at www.websitegrader.com

What score did you get?  Let me know! 

UPDATE: Guy Kawasaki digs it.  (Cool!)

Meanwhile, though, check out this other SMNR (courtesy of Brian Solis)about the Graphing Social Patterns conference (Oct. 7 – 9 in San Jose). 

This is “the first conference covering both the business and technology issues of Facebook and other social networking platforms.”  But from the look of it, this crowd is all business.  I am sure that there will be plenty of geekspeak (via an “all-day-all-night ‘App-a-thon’ coding contest”), but, the guest list is a Who’s Who of “People You Ought To Know.”

Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn (and godfather of Web 2.0 VC).  Tim O'Reilly, co-founder of the Web 2.0 Expo conferences. Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager at Facebook. Mike Arrington of TechCrunch (now re-named “The $100M TechCrunch”).  Danny Sullivan, founder of Search Engine Land.  Charlene Li, the socnet guru from Forrester Research.

The SMNR announcing this conference has more details, including an embedded video featuring conference chief Dave McClure of 500 Hats.

 

It’s a real testament to the rise of Facebook that in less than 6 months (they opened up the Facebook Platform to developers in late May), a high-quality conference like this one has been spawned.

Todd, I discovered Websitegrader back in the summer when I launched the blog at our domain. My blog's score has improved to 71. Here's a link to my report if anyone wants to see it. http://www.websitegrader.com/wsgid/298608/default.aspx

And yes, I'm making some of the mistakes the SMNR warns about.
