At Tungle.me, we just released a really cool project. We had ideas on what the calendar of the future should be, but wanted to hear from industry leaders.
So we took it on the road & interviewed Robert Scoble, Don Dodge (Google), Ellen Levy (LinkedIn), Mark Hendrickson (Plancast), Ed Brill (IBM), Mike Brown (Facebook) and others.
I want to invite you all to stop by and share your thoughts. Video replies are definitely welcome :)

People have a hard time making the connection between their physical business and interactive business. Because it is not something they are tangibly linked to in their regular lives. They look at it as a magical land outside the realms of reality. They can't seem to understand that it is a living breathing entity that is becoming the traditional business model.

Business schools are starting to integrate social media into their curricula:

What do you think? Can social media for business be taught in a classroom?

I think the social aspect of social media which includes the interaction with other people, identifying trends and implementing programs with success, etc. is the make or break component that is usually learned in the school of hard knocks (or not at all).

Do you use social media to prepare for conferences?
We just posted some tips and tools on the Tungle.me blog (link below), but I'm interested to know, how have you used social media to prepare for upcoming events? Specifically large conferences like BlogWorld and SXSW.

#3 really resonated with me - especially this statement: "It’s easy for businesses to fall into using a vocabulary that’s completely self-referential."
Have you or your company ever caught yourselves using 'internal' vocabulary externally?

How do you make time for yourself? When you've got back-to-back meetings and calls, how do you Tungle some time for yourself to get things done and maintain sanity?

I've increasingly been making the work/life boundaries clearer so that when I'm home I don't have to worry about work and just have "play time" - I also love exercising which is some of the best "me time" we can have that also makes me feel productive :)

Brands REALLY want to connect with bloggers these days. The problem is that most brands don't really know how to communicate with bloggers. Press Releases don't work and those canned email messages suck. So what should brands do? As a blogger what positive and negative experiences have you had? As a PR/Marketing/Advertising professional what has worked for you? What hasn't worked?

More so, big PR agencies create mass lists and then email mass-pitches to bloggers. If you're in a PR database like Cision, then you're chances of being emailed are even more likely.
Some of the people here mentioned that they received personal pitches - which I love and am all for. If you're just emailing everybody at once, that's lame.

Do you use Plancast? What do you see as the greatest in it? I only recently started using it, and already love it. I've subscribed to the BlogWorld event, and even though the event is in October, the discussion is already getting started!
