It’s Not the Tools, It’s What You Do With Them

One of the most inspiring and captivating presentations of the Inbound Marketing Summit was the keynote that Chris Brogan delivered.  Yes, I work with him at New Marketing Labs.  No, that is not why I feel the need to pimp the hell out of this presentation.  I have the distinct opportunity to hear Chris speak often where I see him develop concepts that he then takes on to other cities.  He usually shares his thoughts on where these tools are taking us and how it’s changing the way we work, think and interact.  Usually a few concepts spark conversations and get retweeted and shared around.  But, at the Inbound Marketing Summit, on that day, Chris was in a different zone.

I highly encourage you to take the 20 minutes to watch/listen to the entire presentation.

I’m curious to know your thoughts.  What did you think of this presentation?  Did it get you thinking of how you could do your business a little differently?  How are you using these tools that we call social media?
