I got this link from Twitter via @thepowerofsmall author Lynda Thaler and CEO of  The Kaplan Thaler Group.

We are working on all sorts of digital projects these days—many of them are contests—with the plan to build a fan base, so they can begin to engage and connect with their clients one-on-one. As we continue to guide and educate our current clients with social media strategies and execution – we are always trying to sell new clients who have yet to really get engaged. As a women owned and run business – I always use the analogy that social media is a natural for women. It is focused on how we communicate. We like to tell stories and share our ideas.

I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season. I thought I would post a great video today from one of  my favorite sites, TED Talks. TED’s tag is “Ideas Worth Spreading.” I couldn’t agree more and I encourage all of you to go to the www.ted.com and listen to some of the presentations. There is something for everyone who is interested in listening to stories, discovery, inspiration, education and entertainment!

With social media at the epicenter of our business and what we do for our clients, this video by Reddit’s co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, provides a quick 4 minute presentation about how to make a splash in social media. “Alexis Ohanian of Reddit tells the real-life fable of one humpback whale’s rise to Web stardom. The lesson of Mister Splashy Pants is a shoo-in classic for meme-makers and marketers in the Facebook age.”

For those out there still on the fence and looking for ideas about how social media works and the result possibilities for your business, this quick presentation is chock-full of amazing information! We can all find 4 minutes for such a great  lesson! Happy Holidays.
