Fwd: [Hidden-tech] Why I'm Coming to the Using Social Media in Business Event - Me too

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Tish,

I'm planning on attending this panel discussion. Looking forward to  
it. Thanks!
Interesting article, too, by Ochman. However we view social media,  
it's plain that it's here to stay. Engaging on a high level may not be  
everybody's cup of tea. But there's no denying its power to reach huge  
audiences and influence opinion. I'm finding it to be a lot of fun to  
invent new ways to integrate social media into various business models  
and to monetize it.

See you there,
Kimo Lee
