Becoming A Social Media Entrepreneur

Social media has proven fertile ground for people with ideas. Behind every success story is an entrepreneur who had an idea and the persistence, energy and sheer determination to make it happen. William Mougayar is the entrepreneur behind two social media startups: Eqentia and Engagio. William will share his personal journey from idea to beta to seed funding. He'll talk about the dark nights of doubt, the highs of the Eureka moments and the grinding work that goes into that success.

The State of Online Conversations on the Social Web

Social Interactions and Online Commenting are arguably the highest forms of social engagement. They often result in creating or enhancing relationships with new or existing contacts, as well as nurturing vibrant online communities around blogs and web content. In the first part of this session, William Mougayar, CEO of Engagio will disclose the results of their first annual survey. This will be followed by a discussion of user engagement in social networks and its impact on marketing.

Conversations are the New Information and the New Content

Social Discussions and Online Commenting are arguably the most engaging social gestures. They send strong social signals, and they symbolize a real intent to create or enhance 1:1 relationships with new and existing contacts. Social conversations are where intelligence lives. They are the new information and the new content. Could they lead us to new forms of social marketing? Are they the next frontier of social discovery? Can they result in meaningful new relationships?
