RT @BizCoachTim Please-no gov't interferance! RT @Tbeffs: How about a WISH that FCC would start regulating on spam bots!!! #sm44

Last three minutes. Time for closing arguments #sm44

@BizCoachTim Agree, if you define marketing as relationships with customers, prospects & partners. Many marketers define as messaging #sm44

@elhoust It was difficult for fish to become frogs, but they needed to evolve to survive. Same goes for marketers #sm44

@techguerilla Not true. Your followers repeat your gems and often politely ignore your inanities. #sm44

I think 2010 will also be the year that the fail whale gets retired to Marine World. It just won't be needed anymore--or it's fantasy #sm44

RT @jasonbreed: 2010 companies find their Twitter "voice" not marketing >helpful, not sales >relational, not messaging >informational #SM44

For me who I follow is infinitely more imprtant than who follows me. Those I follow are my newspaper & my library. #sm44

I think by the end of 2010, Twitter in business will begin to "normalize," like email or telephone #sm44

@Tbeffs I'd like to hear how you think Twitter will change in 2010. The question is intended to be open ended. #sm44

RT @KateChilders @shelisrael #sm44 2010: more users, more people with conversations rather than big businesses sending mass messages.

@conniereece I do to. I think Twitter in 2010 will be battling marketers mre than spammers [there is overlap] #sm44

Did I just kill the conversation? #sm44

@ajmunn Don't tweeted conference notes help thse who are not attending? #sm44

@irosen Don't you feel that unfollow & block buttons let you filter tweets? #sm44

Does anyone disagree that twitter's business downside is time consumption? #sm44

@EdHartigan I think most people's twitter objectives change over time from wherever the started. Moves from talking to listening. #sm44.

Does anyone have a downside to report on Twitter's impact on their business? #sm44

It's showtime folks. Welcome to the 44th episode of Social Media Chat. Thus today's tag: #sm44. Follow the convo there.

seven minutes until showtime at #sm44. Where the Hell is my makeup artist?

@CraigKessler Just so long as the sponsorship grows accordingly. This starting from zero base is rough on rent. #sm44

@CraigKessler The difference between Conan & me is million grown at his lame jokes. For me only dozen groan. #sm44

.@Avinio @Marc_Meyer It's true. I do predate the term social media, but that was @ChrisShipley in 2006. So lts of folk do. #sm44

I just learned that Conan has declined hosting #SM44. He doesn't like the time slot. So you'll be stuck with me.
