Social Media Working Group publish Draft Guide to Business Blogging for review

November 26, 2008 · Posted in Social Media Working Group 

The Irish Internet Association’s Social Media Working Group chaired by Brendan Hughes, FBD.ie, are holding a workshop to discuss the first draft of their first Social Media Guidebook. This first draft publication is entitled “Blogging for Business: a Guide for Irish companies”.

In the spirit of Social Media this guide was developed collaboratively online by the members of the working group. Continuing this collaborative model the working group hope to share this draft with anyone interested in blogging for business and to discuss and develop it at a workshop. If you have never blogged before the Social Media Working Group are interested in your feedback. If you eat, sleep and work blogging, the Social Media Working Group are interested in your feedback. The draft will be circulated to all workshop attendees as soon as they register (so please register sooner rather than later).

It is hoped that remote attendance will be facilitated. Please follow www.twitter.com/iia or email members@iia.ie to express your interest in attending remotely if the facility is available on the day.]

Audience: Those interested in using Social Media for business be they expert or non-users.
Aim: To create a useful beginners guide for business people planning to get started in Social Media
Objectives: To discuss and develop the material prepared by the Blogging subgroup of the Social Media Working Group

Venue: Presentation Room, Digital Depot, Roe Lane, Thomas St., Dublin 8
Time: 3.30pm – 5.30pm
Date: Friday 5th December

    Having only just discovered this draft document, I missed the workshop! Bah!

    I’d be interested in taking this idea further however. What’s currently happening?

    To Dawn: Have you sent an email to members@iia.ie. Roseanne is on the working group and will keep you up to date.

    Thanks Keith. Dawn, we are currently collating all the information from the workshop and comments on the whitepaper mentioned in the post above. You can actually hear all that happened at the workshop in a 3 part podcast which is well worth a listen. Lots of great ideas and questions from the assembled group who ranged from experienced bloggers to those who are considering dipping their toes in the water.

    One way you could help and which we would really appreciate is that we are seeking responses to a survey on blogging for business. If you maintain a blog for your business we’d love your feedback. You can access the survey here.

    This is just the first in a series of four whitepapers that the working group are developing so don’t worry; we’ll be needing your input again! Email me and I’ll ensure you are contacted whenever any specific calls go out.

    Thanks!
    Roseanne
