Electrolux global social media summit in Stockholm with video of me Laurel Papworth as the representative from Australia/Asia.  Peter Shankman from HelpAReporterOut was part of the summit too!

Electrolux hosted a global social media summit from Stockholm, Sweden on Monday night. They invited a social media strategist from each continent to speak for 10 minutes on the State of Social Media in their country or region. There was dodgy sound – India and Hong Kong were worse than mine and hardly able to be heard. The American representative was Peter Shankman, the guy that started HARO – Help a Reporter Out, initially as a Facebook group and now a mailing list of 100,000 supporters.  I have blogged about before.  I was invited to speak as the Australian representative:


Note, I haven’t been in online marketing since 1989 – I’ve been in online communities since 1989. Kind of a major difference.

Who are Australia’s top marketing and media bloggers? Not decided by the local BlogMafia -heh – but internationally recognised and independently evaluated? This is the list. Again. Six months on. My original blog post, exactly six months ago. Where are we up to? For Lee Hopkins, who asked today on Twitter about getting access to an updated Top Marketing and Media bloggers list for Australia. As you can see, their ranking in Australia is left column, then the blog name, their ranking in August last year, their ranking today, and for fun, their Twitter ID if I have it handy.

.. so what is a “social media proprietor”? And how is s/he different from a blogger? Dunno, don’t ask me. Google it…. uh oh, we are both in trouble. The only response from Google on “social media proprietor(s)” are MY presentations. So either they don’t exist, have another name or … I’m the first one to document them. heh. Moving right along… Social media proprietors focus on a number of things that bloggers may not: advertising – display, banner, those little boxy things. classifieds – jobs is popular, the rivers of gold running to social media. merchandising – any old Continue Reading…

 

I’m listed as #4 in Australia in B&T Online (p 34) that is one of those locked down page turn-ey things. And my link is wrong, as are most bloggers because it uses heritage media hypens to break the line. (for the record, its laurelpapworth.com not www.silkcharm-blogspot.com) I wonder why ProBlogger fell off the list – which is clearly based on Advertising Age global Power 150, and quite different from Julian’s original list. Problogger is #1 blogger for Australia – streets ahead of the rest of us, in fact #36 in the world and not just marketing. Darren Rowse has Continue Reading…

Visit their site for more information on how and why they compiled the list, (full list). My current rank: I must be doing something wrong – someone likes me! Heh. Top Australian bloggers They are currently monitoring 826 top blogs, I thought I would give you the Australian entrants (a snapshot): 10. ProBlogger (uber blogger Darren Rowse)66. Bannerblog (Ashley Ringrose, Ashadi Hopper)123. Young PR (oi! Paull Young is Continue Reading…
