Thanks go to Roisin Markham for making this event happen.

This was the first of these type of events that I had attended so I didn’t know what to expect. There were people there coming from a business perspective, from an artistic point of view and people who just had a personal interest.

Some very interesting and lively conversations about how people use social media for personal use, business use or both. If they use it for both what are the pros and cons of keeping business and personal identities separate.

What tools do people use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Blog?  And how do you use these tools. Was very refreshing to discover that most people have the same issues and fears about social media.

Will definitely attend the next event of this type in Wexford and would highly recommend it to anybody who uses social media.

Well here is a very good example from Beaut.ie and Gavin Duffy of how engaging with your customers online can not only have a very positive affect on your businesses image but also drive sales.

Firstly I have to say I am not a fan of Gavin Duffy and have no connections with him or any of his businesses. Read the following post from Beaut.ie and then read all of the comments.

Note the change in the tone of the comments before and after Gavin makes his comment.
