Last night at Third Tuesday (yes on a Monday), brought David Jones from Hill & Knowlton to present on PR’s take for using Social Media.

Uploaded - 16\09\08 David spoke how Public Relations professionals are starting to educate clients on the use of Social Media.  Most clients have the “shiny new toy” syndrome and want to dive into Social Media head first.  David discussed how he educates his clients by using the MAIL (Monitor your communities, Analyze your findings, Interact with your community, and Lead by starting your own content).

You can catch a great write up on Rebecca’s live blog post here.

It was easy to listen to David and I appreciated his time coming out and speaking to the Vancouver Third Tuesday bunch. He is a fountain of information and look forward to following him on Twitter and reading his blog.

Granted I don’t necessarily agree with his views on the Social Media Press Release, but hey I’m bias when it comes to this :)
