Congrats, have fun and good luck with your tech vacation as well – the first day is tough but then you forget all about it and the “real world” seems SO far away.

Kirsten, Like you I have attended many of these types of gatherings. I also have found some wonderfut people in these groups. I have learned a lot. Until I read you post I hadn't given much thought as to the decorum as to how to get the most out of the event. You have nailed it on the head here. Thank you for doing this. I would also like to encourage those interested in Social Media to start attending these events. They do help us Newbies.

[...] Blogging at its root is simple: it is words on a (web)page, put together and reachable by anyone with internet and your blog address. There are life bloggers, business bloggers, mommy bloggers, pet bloggers, food bloggers, pretty-much-anything-you-can-think-of bloggers, and every single one of them is doing the exact same thing: putting words on a screen for their readers to see. Blogging is not segregated. There is no restrictions to whom can have a blog. It is not picky on what is written or how often. It doesn’t require advanced degrees and (judging by some of the posts I have stumbled across) doesn’t even require a firm grasp on the language it is written in. Blogging is open to the world, and because of that, bloggers seem to be taking over. [...]

[...] 3. Think like a professional publisher and write to a publishing calendar worked out in advance so you have a clear idea of what content you need to produce. Of course, you need to create this when your enthusiasm and creativity is on top. Creating a publishing calendar with a team, even if you’re solely responsible for writing the content, can be a useful way of bringing in fresh, new ideas.

WAIT A MINUTE!

oh…ha, this is humor. I was going to point out how a few of these are pretty damn irrational, especially the last one. Thank good I read it a third time.

Comment on Would you pay $250,000 for this site? by kirstenwright

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are right, the current version of Facebook was not built for $20k (although my guess is the first version cost a lot less!). And if her site has the functionality that you explain, then I can see her site being worth more than $20k as well. But, no where in the WSJ article did it talk about the back end functionality, nor is it easily noticeable from the front end of the Swans site. My observations were from what I could learn and see from the WSJ and just being on the site myself. If I was misinformed through that experience, I apologize.

With that said, I have also seen a few very advanced social media type sites built into the back end for companies and have never seen one go above the $200k price tag. So, without actually seeing the back end of her site, I still can't validate the fact that she spent $250k.

Thanks again for your comment and insight onto why it was worth $250k.

Obviously no one here knows the amount of back-end coding that went into developing the Swan site. Do you think facebook was created for 20k? I happen to know someone who is a paying member of Swans and it has an entire Social engine for paying members only, and it also allows users to build entire Itineraries on there own while browsing the site just by dragging snippets of the site into a folder. So before you speak, get all your facts straight and know the entire functionality delivered.

Yikes! That 250,000 site looks like so many other sites I see on a day to day basis. She seriously got ripped off. Interestingly enough I scroll to the bottom and don't even see the company that designed it. hmmmmm But yes if you want to encourage business (especially wedding business) you need to look like a pro. That looks like the typical tacky self done website. Not to mention I wonder if I googled adventure travel with no budget or bed and breakfasts Maryland where either of these sites would show up because without SEO then neither website is worth a penny. Great post Kirsten!
