Point of Interest by mulmatshermIt's been over a year since I started blogging here, but in all that time I've never posted a 'link' post. For those unfamiliar, it's a post that contains mostly a digest of links to other content. Some find them useful, some call them link doping, some view them as the selfless act of sharing with your fellows on the blogosphere, but there's no doubt they are effective tools of the blogging trade. I wish I had a reason for not putting up a link post before now, but the sad truth is that I guess I just like to talk. As Exhibit A, I present my first link post, complete with a paragraph full of explanation preceding it. :smileyhappy:

 

But there's just quite a few things going on recently, and so here's some items I thought you all should know about:

 

The 2009 Forrester Groundswell Awards

This is a great opportunity for you and your team to receive well-deserved recognition for your accomplishments from key social media industry influencers. Deadline for entry is September 2nd, so click to find out how to enter.

 

2009 Community & Social Media Compensation study is open

The Online Community Research Network is compiling its latest compensation study, so here's your chance to share how you make money doing what you love.

 

SF Chronicle asks why online communities faring well lately despite economic downturn

Quick interview in the San Francisco paper with Lithium CEO Lyle Fong on why companies are investing in customer communities while budgets are tight.

 

Hot Topic Roundtable: Social CRM from1to1Media

Insightful ~10 minute audio/slideshow roundtable on Social CRM from CRM experts Bill Band of Forrester Research, Brent Leary of CRM Essentials, and author Paul Greenberg.

 

Not strictly speaking a link, but have you seen Flickr's new search results page? Very nice!

 

And finally, I just loved this deck on Corporate Culture from Netflix. At 128 slides it is pretty hefty, but they go fast and it was designed for reading. Definitely worth checking out!

 

 

It might be another year before I post this many links again, so take advantage while you can!
