SMX Social Media - Long Beach 2008 Recap
Last Monday I flew into Long Beach Airport to attend SMX Social Media 2008 in Long Beach.
All in all, the event was very good. It was a small group but it really gave the attendees a chance to corner us and ask all their questions.
I spoke a little on Tuesday about the various categories for social media linkbaits and the process of actually creating a linkbait.
I won’t go through the entire break down of the session, basically because if you want to know, then you should come see us speak, but I will link you to one of the session recaps here - Chumming for Traffic on Social Media Sites.

New Reddit UI and Features Leaked
Are you ready for the new Reddit?
A source of mine, close to the Reddit project, sent me some of the new screen shots as well as some explanation for the new features that will be rolling out over the next week or so.
Gmail Removes IMAP Services?
It is pretty early in the ordeal but about 10 minutes ago I began to get errors from my Outlook, which uses Google’s Gmail with the IMAP service.
It is now telling me “IMAP is not available for your account. (Failure)” and will no longer connect to Gmail.
I Was Abducted and Taken to Planet Reddit
I was sitting at my computer last week after a long afternoon of social media and client calls. I had been sleepy all morning and decided to close my eyes and relax for a bit in my plush office chair, which my wife got for me on my last birthday.
I heard a strange noise and sat upright abruptly to find I could move nothing below my shoulders. It was as if I was paralyzed. I open my mouth to yell out for my wife, but my words would not come out. It was then that I noticed a small, simple looking, little alien standing on the edge of my desk.
At this point I jumped up and out of my short dream, realizing that I was probably going to be late meeting up with Alexis Ohanian, Steve Huffman, and the rest of the Reddit team at their office in downtown San Francisco.
After a quick tour of Wired, the Reddit team and I spent about 2 or 3 hours talking about weird things in Asia, Reddit’s new subreddits system, some new features and changes coming to Reddit.com, and even Digg a bit.
Amazingly we spent quite a bit of time talking about the evolution of the spammer, SEO, and Social Media Marketing. It was very interesting and I really felt the team listened and was willing to really discuss the various topics.
