Giovanni Gallucci Provides Top 10 Extreme Social Media Hacks [#wcdfw09]

image At Wordcamp Dallas this year, a number of constructive talks of wide interest beyond just the blogging community were given.  I’d like to think that mine ranks in that arena, but one that I enjoyed in particular (as well as getting to meet the speaker for the first time) was the talk given by Giovanni Gallucci.

If you haven’t come across Gallucci and his work yet, you’re missing out.  His advice treads the line between white and black hat social media optimization in an arena he calls “blue hat” work.

If you can take forty five minutes out of your day today to get educated, every second will pay for itself with dividends with the advice contained in his talk.

If you have another forty five minutes to spend – don’t miss the panel discussion I participated with Gallucci on as well.
