“Beyond Blogs and Social Networks”; Nitron Advisors to Sponsor and Chair Social Software Conference
New York, NY—October 10, 2005—On December 1 and 2, David Teten, CEO, Nitron Advisors, will chair the Strategic Research Institutes conference, "Beyond Blogs and Social Networks: How Consumer Generated Media and The Virtual Handshake will Make or Break Your Business," in Jersey City.
The conference focuses on the emerging importance of online networks. For instance, about 84 percent of the US Internet users preferred searching for information from an online group, rather than reading online news and shopping. The new "social software" technologies—blogs, online networks, relationship capital management software, virtual communities, etc.—enable faster and more effective online communication.
The conference will also feature industry leaders and nationally recognized bloggers, who will speak on utilizing "social software" as a cutting-edge business tool. For example, unlike focus groups or other potentially time-consuming research, blogs allow executives to monitor consumer feedback and reactions in real time.
Some topics to be discussed at the conference include
- Increasing market share by reaching out to customers online
- Saving costs by providing accurate information faster
- Ensuring corporate privacy and safety: how to be public but not too public online
- Increasing revenues by equipping your sales team with tools to open more doors and close more deals online
