It was a busy day on Saturday, April 2, 2011. Don’t fret, you can relive the memories here through the Flickr photo album.

Here are some photographic highlights:

PCamp Social Media Metrics

PCamp — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:35:12 +0000

– By William Toll

The next slides in the deck embedded below are a continuation of what I shared at the mid-point break at ProductCampBoston on April 2, 2011.

These tools are just some of the dozens of tools available to help quantify and report on people, companies and topics in the social media sphere.

This is a rapidly evolving market with larger players being acquired by companies like Salesforce.com (Radian6) and smaller, freemium or advertising based tools that have limited reliability and questionable algorithms.

Product Managers and Product Marketers can use these tools to analyze mentions of their products, find and understand the influence of thought-leaders in their industry and keep tabs of the competition.

Note – some of these links may soon stop working – mostly because these free tools do not “store” results – they depend on Twitter making Tweets available. Very few companies have full access to Twitter or keep their own archive. To use the tool – simply go to the main URL and drop the string referencing #PCampBoston

Wait, there’s more!

Thanks to everyone for attending yesterday’s ProductCamp – YOU made it great!

If there’s one thing that we hear every year, it’s that ProductCamp has so many great sessions that it’s impossible to attend everything you’d like to attend. We’re working to get presentation slides from the session leaders and will share additional info on that as soon as we have it in the next few days. Please continue to check the site for updates.

And if you’re a presenter: please email your presentation to productcampboston [at] gmail [dot] com and we’ll post it on Slideshare in the ProductCamp page where everyone can see it. You should also upload it to Brainshark so everyone can hear your talking points as well. We’ll link to your presentations directly from the ProductCamp Boston website.

Thanks!
The ProductCamp Boston Team

Bring your best business card to share with others. Here are some fun and creative bcards to look at in the meantime.

The Sessions Overfloweth!

Get ready! You might want to head to sleep early Friday night.

At ProductCamp on Saturday, we’ve got many great sessions proposed. In fact, there are 27 proposed sessions…wow! There are some sessions in each of our 9 categories. So there is bound to be something of interest to you throughout the day. If you’d like an early view, some teaser slides have been posted on Brainshark from session leaders. The hard part is, you only get 5 votes for the sessions you want to happen. So choose wisely and preview the topics now so you can mull them over in the next 36 hours! Click here to view a spreadsheet with detailed descriptions and bios.

We hope you’ll enjoy the day as much as we have enjoyed planning this event!

Cheers,

The ProductCamp Planning Team
