Social media is a dynamic and rapidly changing field. I encourage social media PIOs to learn from social media users and advocates in other sectors and industries. An easy way to do this is to friend some of the best social media advocates on Twitter. Then use Tweetdeck to set-up a column for this group of select users. A few people I follow and recommend to others include:

@AmberCadabra
@chrisbrogan
@copybloger
@garyvee
@GuyKawasaki
@JimKukral
@problogger
@Skydiver

I have followed @WendyMaynard for many months now and applied many of her marketing and blogging ideas to my web projects. She also teaches clients about social media. She has shared a presentation, Social Media Boot Camp, that I think is excellent and advocates many of the same concepts we discuss in the social media PIO boot camp. I also think her use of PowerPoint is outstanding. You are likely to learn a lot by viewing her slide deck.
