Last night I participated in Mark Mayhew's "telecollaboration" event titled Facebook Presence Developers. It was super. Mark is cranking away on building a name for himself around creating an online presence for yourself using Facebook. He invited some of his internet marketing friends, and we chatted for an hour on topics ranging from presence management, to data portability, Facebook basics, app development and marketing, personal branding on Facebook and more.
For a first event it was an outstanding success. Lots of business networking occurred, with participants introducing themselves to each other; lots of good material was discussed, and I personally learned a few valuable things.
You can listen to the recording below (recorded using the iotum FREE Conference Calling Service). And if you'd like to participate in the next call, register for Mark's Facebook Tips (and Tricks) event on Monday night.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

Thanks, Alec, you gave "precall" and "post call" (even "duringcall"?) support without which, the call wouldn't have happened….
Another is scheduled for Monday, it looks like an even larger group is planning to attend, so there isn't alot of time to rest on our laurels?…
I agree Alec!
The “telecollaboration” was interesting and informative. I learned so much from both you and Mark. Thank you!
