Social Media featuring Social Media about Social Media

Through side-by-side commenting about LinkedIn on KyleLacey.com, I became aware of LinkedIntelligence.com by Scott Allen and I wanted to highlight it here.

It took me a bit to figure out exactly what Scott was doing with the site but it appears that its the first example I've ever seen of Social Media featuring Social Media about Social Media.

Confusing? Not so, Scott writes a blog (social media) featuring screen caps of Tweets from Twitter (social media) that are about LinkedIn (social media). 

It's ingenious really since it transcends most of us who comment on social media by simply blogging about it. 

All kidding aside, his posts demonstrate the value that Twitter can provide in researching a topic (in this case LinkedIn).

Geoff. Love your commentary. I have some questions. You recently were at a class or seminar and made comments via Twitter I assume and placed a # sign on it?
" Stack: biz as game: know & teach the rules; follow action & keep score; provide a stake in outcome #kelleyec March 27 at 1:55pm · Comment · LikeUnlike · via Twitter "
how does this work in facebook? and how does one see all the comments during or after the presentation? Thanks sir! Again Kudos

Hey Jake!

The # sign is referred to as a "hashtag" in Twitter parlance (big word, I know). It's used to sort Tweets (individual Twitter posts) by subject or keyword. I chose #kelleyec to represent the Kelley Entrepreneurial Connection event I was at in Bloomington.

Go to http://search.twitter.com and search on #kelleyec and you should be able to see all of the ones from that event (which are basically just me). Try #kelleyconf for the Kelley Indiana Business Conf. from a couple weeks ago (which features a few people chiming in).

Check http://wthashtag.com and they have a directory of hashtags (new ones can be created by anyone at anytime).

There isn't a way to use hashtags in Facebook that I know of.
