Here are some photographic highlights:

• Collecting votes for sessions – what were your 5 votes?
• The wall of sessions, early view! Here is the post-voting wall of sessions view!
• Friendly handshaking going on during the Art of Getting Along keynote!
• Look at the attentive audience: contemplating, listening, tweeting, taking notes!

ProductCamp thanks Leela Briggs, photographer, for the photos!

If you missed the event, we hope you can join us for a future ProductCamp Boston! We’ll be in touch!

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

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
