Old School Hockey Sweater Challenge - Olson vs Fergusson!
Since interviewing Michael Fergusson of Kinzin for Raincity Radio a few months back, and hearing his compelling discourse on participatory marketing using the ubiquitous Facebook, I've worked hard to soften my cynicism about the pervasive community aggregator.
I am (shockingly) a bit serious about how i spend leisure time and tend to think of Facebook applications as obnoxious (albeit well-meaning) hugs, squirts, pokes, trivial nonsense which requires an "ignore" to avoid participation.
The other day at Moose Camp, I caught up with Megan Cole - a Canadian classic, she's a social marketeer and my predecessor at RCS who convened a session (symposium) about Social Media marketing.
