John, Aaron, Simon, and Tony were an interesting and informative panel to attend. I learned a lot from listening to these professionals speak of their experiences in their field. The techno jargon befuddled me a little but nowhere near what it would’ve been like before this class.
Most relevant to me though was Tony Avila’s one taco success using these new media techniques, yeah the old cliche of its who you know will always come into play, but a good product will broaden the positive base of who you know and the next thing you’ve quadrupled your business!! Seeing the real world results and successes come to fruition from the use of these technologies is what will force those like me who have drug their feet into the technological age to join the party……money talks and begets change. I will be checking out http://gowalla.com/ and others seeking their usefulness for me going forward.
