You always need to keep your self informed about everything. By any chance for one second you stop, you will be right at the beginning all over again. Just like everything else you always have to keep yourself informed. Does that make any sense? Social media is just like Business. You always need to keep your self informed about everything.

Does that make any sense?

Then use your social media contacts to the find the right guru for a specific piece of the puzzle when needed. I mean, if you tweeted "Anyone in here know of, or is a twitter/blog/podcasting/presenting/videocasting/fill-in-the-blank expert?" you'd probably get a deluge of response.

No one can be on top of every single one of them. I think this is because the web-enabled, connected world is pervading all aspects of our current lives, which is quite diverse. Here's a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fredcavazza/2564571564/" rel="nofollow">cool chart</a> that can be useful for seeing the current categories, and already the impossibility of being an expert at all of them. Of course I give it 6 months before it looks completely outdated. ;) This crazy web/social world is changing so fast, and growing so exponentially, that it’s already fracturing into different sub-specialties.

Being an expert or having expertise is one thing but I never want to be THE expert. Thank you for helping to make my weekend a great experience.

Like a roller coaster, I wanted to "go again" when it was over. :) I had fun this weekend, and learned quite a bit from everyone there.
