Friend of the blog Joel Kelly recently spoke at PodCamp Halifax, a gathering of bloggers, podcasters, and other folks who work in the social media space. His talk was titled “Unfriend Someone Today”, and provided an outline of how and why you should keep your social network neat and trim. Joel has previously linked to his thoughts on unfriending here, and this talk represents the ultimate synthesis of his views and opinions on the subject

Check out the video of the talk on Vimeo.

The discussion that the initial presentation spawns is really thought-provoking, and although it doesn’t directly relate to film or media production it is definitely something to think about as you expand your presence online. Certainly, social media is going to be (if it isn’t already) a key part of marketing your media, and having a thorough understanding of the space will make you more effective.

Expect more posts here in the weeks ahead. Thanks for your dedication!
