Social Media event underway

Social Fresh, a franchised event run out of Charlotte, N.C., is underway in Nashville today. In a move timed, it seems, to coincide with the convening of SocialFresh, Nashville-based SEO expert Freddie O'Connell (at left) -- who recently launched SearchViz, an SEO consultancy -- yesterday penned a wide-ranging and thought-provoking blogpost on the imperative of insisting on RoI from Social Media, the downside of relying on out-of-town social-media gurus, the crucial challenge of linking that RoI to the minds in the executive suite, the development of local software and other talent, and more. Among his mentions: The earlier spirited discussion on this blog about how to keep software talent here... and, Marcus Whitney's LAMP challenge during the recent Barcamp event.
