I will be putting up the complete slide share and additional notes and resources shortly!

#140MTL Update – 8 days to the conference! Have you saved your spot?
An update on #140MTL
I love this quote by Christopher Reeve, tweeted out by JD Andrews. JD is a person I met on Twitter, who I follow for his wonderful travel insights, links and pictures – if you don’t know him, he is definitely one to follow.
In regard to this wonderful quote, I can’t think of anything more relevant to what happens when people put their minds together and commit to making dreams come true. Nothing is impossible in this world, and I think that the 140 Conferences are a great way of connecting with people and seeing this first hand, one on one. We can all say “anything is possible”, but when you are surrounded by people making it happen, suddenly magic happens and you are on your way.

Strategies in Social Media – Learning the Ropes & Expanding Horizons
If you look up a definition for Social Media, you are going to find what is probably the broadest collection of definitions of any word. It would be like asking the question, what’s the best food on earth. Always a different perspective and approach to the answer. I tried the exercise for myself, here is a great example of what you might find from “The Social Media Guide” a whole collection of definitions, all centering around the same idea, but all slightly different in how they identify the key attributes and in who has written the definition.
