2:06 PM: SHRMPA Kris & Lance: back & forth about bloggers as media #shrm09
2:06 PM: johnhollon Noteworthy: Half the HR bloggers on the panel are affiliated with Workforce.com !!!!! You get strong opinions at Workforce. #shrm09
2:06 PM: johnhollon More 2 cents: Blogging doesn't make you more hirable, just more opinionated #shrm09
2:06 PM: johnhollon Thanks for the shout out Lance!!!!!! #shrm09

2:08 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: Talking about the casual comments that people make in social media. #shrm09
2:08 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: There are a lot of good news sources out there... not a lot of sources for getting good opinions. That's where blogs come in. #shrm09
2:08 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: Talking about an Anon blogger that can't come out as of yet. But, he has amazing knowledge about the topics. #shrm09

2:10 PM: johnhollon No shout out for Workforce, Laurie????? #shrm09
2:10 PM: johnhollon Laurie -- My opinion is that your opinion on card check is completely wrongheaded. But you are sweet in person ... #shrm09
2:10 PM: johnhollon My 2 cents: You have a dialogue with readers OVER TIME. Good bloggers build their opinion, and dialogue, over time #shrm09
2:13 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: A blogger is going to be covered a lot differently. They are going to cover what is of interest to their readers. #shrm09
2:13 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: He says that bloggers are still the press. On a given day, you may have more influence. #shrm09

2:15 PM: johnhollon Good advice from Kris Dunn on how writing gets easier. Still, it ebbs and flows and can sometimes be really hard #shrm09
2:15 PM: johnhollon My 2 cents: aggregators who don't add anything new are parasites. They will kill content creators is left unchecked #shrm09
2:15 PM: CincyRecruiter To have or start conversations with bloggers - use the comment section. @lruettimann responds to every comment on her blog #shrm09
2:15 PM: CincyRecruiter The blogging machine @Kris_Dunn says it takes him about 25 minutes to write a post. Collects ideas all week long & writes on wkend #shrm09
2:17 PM: theredrecruiter China: "I have limited myself to more than 30 minutes a day on Twitter." #shrm09 - *Audience laughs*
2:17 PM: theredrecruiter Laurie: If someone is going to visit my blog, it's my responsibility to respond to them. #shrm09 - You have to make the time.
2:17 PM: theredrecruiter Jessica: Saying that she can't quantify the amount of time that she's spending on social media. That is meshes with her day job. #shrm09
2:17 PM: theredrecruiter RT @johnhollon: Note to @SHRMPA: Not all the press is impartial. After 30 years in the "press," I know this is true ... #shrm09
2:17 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: He deals with the time constraints by collecting ideas all week long. Wake up early on Saturday to get going. #shrm09
2:18 PM: kariquaas Engaging in social media is a commitment. Engaged not reactive. Collect ideas & blog when u can. #shrm09
2:19 PM: johnhollon If it only takes Kris Dunn 25 minutes to write a post, he's way faster than an old war horse journalist like me #shrm09

2:19 PM: johnhollon Yes Jessica Lee! You go girl! Adding the personal stuff REALLY helps a blog post #shrm09

2:27 PM: kariquaas Great ? From @markemark about editing oneself. #shrm09
2:37 PM: CincyRecruiter Generational differences in terms of Social Media? Myth that it's a Gen Y/millenial thing per @jessica_lee#shrm09
2:39 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: I don't see a lot of public sector blogs. #shrm09
2:39 PM: theredrecruiter China: Asking about which age group is adopting the fastest. (40+?) #shrm09
2:39 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: Facebook is being driven by the 35+ age group. #shrm09
2:39 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: It's all about the engagement that you are looking to get. #shrm09
2:39 PM: theredrecruiter Jessica: The perception is that the Gen Y are the ones using them. She doesn't think that Gen Yers have learned to use it well yet. #shrm09
2:41 PM: SHRMPA Lance is talking about how effort is more important than age in social media. #shrm09
2:41 PM: SHRMPA Yeah! Ciara from our dept. is asking a question. #shrm09
2:41 PM: johnhollon Yes Lance, old farts like me Twitter and blog ... #shrm09
2:41 PM: johnhollon Take it from me: Only 5 percent of my college opinion writing class uses Twitter. What does that tell you? #shrm09
2:41 PM: johnhollon I love Jessica Lee's insights. I could listen to her all day ... #shrm09
2:41 PM: johnhollon A conflict with making money on your blog? My goodness, where did that come from ??? Doesn't SHRM make money, too? #shrm09

2:43 PM: theredrecruiter Group all have ads on their pages... revenue streams. #shrm09
2:43 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: Full disclosure in blogging is key. #shrm09
2:43 PM: theredrecruiter Laurie: She has monetized by having the exposure lead to other financial opportunities. Speaking, consulting, etc... #shrm09
2:44 PM: tracytran So many things going on: The HR Bloggers in #SHRM09 and the start of the NHL Free Agency period.
2:45 PM: johnhollon Full disclosure is always good, but it bothers me that SHRM COO is going down this road given how SHRM rakes in the bucks #shrm09
2:45 PM: johnhollon Good advice from Kris Dunn -- you gotta be commited and consistent #shrm09
2:45 PM: johnhollon Lance seems to be a man of the Earth. Very basic, clear, and solid advice ... #shrm09
2:45 PM: johnhollon My 2 cents: If you don't blog at LEAST every 10 days, you aren't really a blogger #shrm09
2:46 PM: CincyRecruiter All bloggers on panel have advertising on their site but don't feel can judge a blog's success by ad revenues. It's prof development #shrm09
2:46 PM: CincyRecruiter When @Kris_Dunn started the HR Capitalist he made a personal committment to post something every biz day. #shrm09
2:46 PM: CincyRecruiter Blogging is also about listening & commenting (lurk) then graduate to writing your own blog #shrm09

2:47 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: If you want to monetize on it, you have to be consistent. #shrm09
2:47 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: When he started to blog, he was doing it every day... it was too much. #shrm09
2:47 PM: theredrecruiter Lance: To become part of the conversation, you need to link out to other blogs. Share opinions on the matter. #shrm09
2:49 PM: johnhollon I get what Kris is saying, but every time I hear the world "lurk" I think of guys in raincoats outside the porn theater #shrm09
2:49 PM: johnhollon Laurie!!! You are running out of time for a Workforce shoutout!!! #shrm09
2:49 PM: johnhollon Talking about PR people reminds me of land of the Lost ... #shrm09
2:49 PM: johnhollon One last time: Why couldn't SHRM shedule the blogger pael when more could see it???? #shrm09
2:52 PM: theredrecruiter Kris: The minimum commitment is once a week. #shrm09
