Quotable

jmansour: You need a demon sheep, because the web is cluttered & you need to break through: @lizmair #AMP10

andyellwood: "Not being on twitter is like not knowing how to drive. You are missing out on an amazing part of life!" - @KuhnCNN #amp10 #boom 

Agent11: "I think it, I write it, I send it." @markknoller talking about not going through an editor to Tweet. #amp10    

 

Campaign Dos & Don'ts

TylerGray: via @VincentHarris -Campaigns pissing money away on iphone apps, only 300 downloads for Marco Rubio, spent $10k on development #amp10

Toddeherman: @willington says hand-held footage -real footage- of candidates is eminently more effective than "over-produced-junk" #AMP10 

ToddThurman: Constantly disseminating information is a key aspect to gaining influence online.

 

On Congress

Jmansour: The most under used resource of Congress is the creativity & capabilities of the public at large: @MattLira #AMP10 

JMansour: House rule Sunlight wants changed: all bills posted online 72 hrs before votes. Both Pelosi & Boehner support it says @JohnWonderlich #AMP10

Hilliconvalley: Rep. Pete Roskram: Public's attention span not decreasing. Expectations are increasing. Technology is a part of that expectation.

Poliogue: Members of Congress should write tweets themselves. Makes them more authentic and their real personality shows. @Danny_Glover #amp10

 

Grassroots

Christopherguz: the left is ahead of the right as far as e-mail lists. Right uses e-blasts. Left uses more targeted e-mails.

Awinegarduzett: ultimate grassroots: #teaparty patriots don't make any decisions w/o input from local coordinators except in cases of urgent issues #amp10 

OVOC: @JoeTrippi OVOC.org is the calvary! #amp10 @JoeTrippi:The Obama campaign used social networking to give Armies of David their slingshots 

SmartBrief: @joetrippi says: Corporate America better watch out, if they aren't building communities they are going to be at a big loss one day. #amp10 

Conference Buzz

DCEventjunkie: Excellent event, content and speakers.....even the food!

AriMelber: Biggest difference in being at a conservative conference: every lunch item wrapped in bacon. Including salad. #amp10 

samuelcoates: #AMP10 Impressed with the male:female ratio here, most internet or politics conferences I'm used to are very male.

andyellwood: OH: Who knew I could go to a conference and have my entire social world revolutionized #amp10

TySpace: We've got some incredible ideas for how to implement some of the things from #amp10 in our organization back in SLC. Let's change the world.  

Influence

ActsofFaithBlog: Products are sold by the emotional response. (True!) So are campaigns. No logic or critical thinking whatsoever for many. #amp10  

DCPrincessQ: Being funny to spread an idea can work but it's difficult to do. Gossip gets spread faster. @danzarella

DCEventjunkie: "With social media the 6 degrees of separation doesn't really hold anymore." Anders Jones

Andrewfoxwell: Great point just made in my session - a great part of web 2.0 adoption by our government correlates directly to the age of the gvmt workers.

Setholdmixon: People are swayed more by opinions of people they know than anything else. #amp10 #influencers  

AMPSummit: [Politics] "translating political will for transparency to visible action is the challenge facing govt departments" - @JohnWonderlich #amp10   

 
The New New News

USATMediaLounge: Mike Riley feels we are going through birth in journalism. Rules are being broken. New rules are being made.

AlexPriest: Interesting: "news is talking about other people talking about things". Good stories don't have shelf life they should. #amp10 

OhMyGov: Huff post just surpassed the NY Times for web traffic.

davewiner: Journalism IS realtime. #amp10

USATMediaLounge: Some traditional journalists sometimes (mistakenly) think Twitter is the equivalent of buying $6 wine.

EmilyMolitor: Much like there are tabloid newspapers and journalist newspapers, there are tabloid tweets and journalist tweets. #amp10 -@dannyglover 

OhMyGov: CNN dropped subscription for AP news feed 1.5 years ago. They now use Twitter.

USATMediaLounge: There isn't a news gatherer at CNN that doesn't have some form of Twitter feed at their desktop.

Mounder: Twitter's popularity? Tweeters arrogantly think people will read & care. Journalists and businesses tweet too, only more desperately. #amp10

Andrewfoxwell: Obvious prediction: We consume news by sound bytes (largely) so data visualization is only going to get more popular. #amp10 

    

Women and Moms

Davidall: #amp10 @juliemarsh: social media empowers women by providing them with a channel to explore issues independent of their spouse or partner.

LKThere: Moms agree on 80% of issues says @punditmom #amp10. So don't ignore this powerful group

Davidall: #amp10 @Nansen: "women own the internet."

Patbell: Mommy bloggers have influence way beyond product reviews, kids, and family. They are politically powerful b/c of relationships. 

Davidall: #amp10 @punditmom knows her stuff. Excellent speaker, dynamic moderator, and great at engaging the audience. High five!

  

Social Media Tips & Takeaways

Setholdmixon: Internalize this: "If you want to have influence online, don't be boring."

Amympayne: Fascinating @danzarella says Tweeters who avoid 1) negativity and 2) talking about themselves have more followers. (He has charted.) 

alexpriest: No one usually reads past the third paragraph in an e-mail, newsletter, etc., says @adamconner #amp10

AMPSummit [Lab] @rollinger: Fans are different than website visitors. They are our friends -- they expect to be talked to in a different way #amp10
