Kim intros and we have a guest host. Kim was getting a chair massage. Peggy Richardson on the mic with with Bob. Guest in the tent is April Vance. Bright, shiny, great teeth.

Talked about the teeth whitening business… she started doing some old school techniques to grow her business. She then discovered Twitter. It was a game changer for her. Great business growth and opportunities to be involved.

She also is involved in volunteering and it all works for her and her business. She loves building community.

Chat about branding too… consistent and people connect.

Lovely job folks!

Marshmallows. Yum. Still in the tent! It’s an official tent now! We found a bug in the tent.

Sean Moffitt is in the tent with us. He loved our tent. This was big for us. Sean is a great marketing fellow and his kind words made our hearts glad. Breaking barriers with some fun.

Sean is the founder and chief evangelist of Agent Wildfire. Co-author of Wiki-Brands. Great read. We talked about the cover of the book and why it was important to Sean. The book is one I think all business folks need to read. Why should we use social media… Sean talks about it. He has a terrific sense of humour.

How do you put you Social Pants on in the morning? What is your strategy for Twitter, Facebook and blogging. Wise-one have a plan.

Sean also tells us that Social Media is a dirty word. Gasp! Interesting to hear about his viewpoint. He gives loads of information!!!

It was the longest interview we did at SMCV11. It was a chat that had a life of its own. We probably could have spent another hour talking to Sean.

Butter… it is an industry. How could we do social media about butter. QR Codes and butter. So many ideas.

Chris Kelly joins Bob and Kim in the tent at Social Media Camp Victoria.

We talk about the tent… and the schtick that it is. We talk bit about our drama/trauma of almost NOT being able to put up the tent.

Chris is from Entertainment Media. They are are talking about Ortsbo. You can talk in one language, then it translates to another. So cool! Great for our multi-cultural world. Really, check it out. Lots of cool plug-ins. This opens up the world – in so many ways.

Talk about Steve Nash too. His involvement in Ortsbo.

Loved the stuffed toys they had for give-away. Our kids loved them. Thanks Chris.

Butter… it took a while to get a recipe from him. We decided to put butter on bacon. We always end up talking about food. Wannawaffle! We loved them.

Big thrill for Kim. She got to me Rebecca Coleman in person! She is a supporter of the arts, is a great marketing person and an marketing educator.

We learn more about her interests, business etc.

It’s only been about 3 years that she has been doing blogging, podcasting etc. She is a traditional marketing person, but saw the changes that were happening in the media world. Social Media really helps support her work. She talks about working with social media and traditional media.

Fun to talk arts, pr and how we can get sales. Can we? Are people doing more hands on work to find the plays they want to see. Citizen journalism does help the arts… but there are lots of debates on this.

Rebecca says we can now connect with people much faster… it does help events. Powerful to make relationships.

WordPress is talked about. What is her fave plugin- she likes Sexy Bookmarks. Worth checking out.

Love this chat and Rebecca’s so energetic.

She blows us away with her butter food idea… Deep Fried Butter!

We have an American in the tent! We welcome Lyn Terry to the 2nd morning of the tent! Lyn tells us why she came to Victoria. She is one of the rare ones who came from the US. Loved her insight on SMCV11, Victoria and her first trip to Canada.

We had a large talk on introverts, extroverts and Affiliate Marketing.

Lyn talks about her 15 yrs in business – talk about mediums change, but how you work stays the same. Loves Twitter and how she is able to engage. Tells about her policy for Facebook.

Lyn gives us the Reader’s Digest version of Affiliate Marketing. She has been doing this for 10 yrs. Uses niche affiliate marketing. Interesting stuff. She sells everything from patio furniture to Tickle Me Elmo. She has a good vision of what is interesting to her – and that helps her with affiliate marketing.

Lyn gets to pick our food topic of the day – BUTTER!

We love Cathy Browne! She is the one who named us! Garlick and Plum.

We sidetrack with Lorraine Murphy….

Ok – we’re back in the tent. Cathy! She puts up with us. She is so kind and gracious. She is a connector… that is a given. She used to do a think called the Daily Intro… make connection for many people on Twitter. She is a woman who is a Social Media Matchmaker… maker of communities.

What surprised us is that she has only been in Vancouver for about 2 years. We thought she was a fixture here.

Kim and Cathy get on a jag about publicity… what fun it is to to talk to someone who knows gets it. Cathy talks about the immediacy that social media provides to pr professionals. She is a fountain of information. We get to talking about telephone protocol too… all goes hand in hand.

Cathy talks about her photography. Fantastic images. She is a better photographer than many, many people we have ever seen. She is also legally blind. A bit of vision – but her clarity is profound.

We also talked about being an advocate for those who are ill – Cathy will stand up for what she wants to support. She also sees how Social Media galvanizes for support of each other.

This interview with Cathy with a beautiful. We love talking to her. She makes us look at the world in a wonderful way. We heart you Cathy!

Yelp!!

We have a pre-role chat and it was so good we kept it. Great to have Crystal Hendrickson in the podcast tent. Social Media Camp Victoria 2011 was a great place to connect. We talk about her Tom shoes… Canadian. We also talk about body odour etc. We grossed poor Bob out.

Crystal is manager of YELP North America. She is a going concern! Lots of fun, and again, loves building community. Yelp is about the collective – the place where people give information and get information. Share your own hot spots. Crowd-sourcing rocks.

Crystal is so into bacon that she shared this photo of her own personal gingerbread bacon men.

Cherry coke in a can… and some bacon talk – Crystal even mentions fake bacon. Gasp! Now that’s something to Yelp about.

In the canvas tent! Talking to Theresa Lalonde from CBC. Kim and Theresa talked about a very intense radio show and how it translated to life online and again offline. Here is the story that we were talking about. Be warned, it is touching and will move you to help make some changes.

Chatted about how radio works with their community…. more immediate with the aid of Social Media.

Learned lots about how reporters in the field use different tools… Theresa like Social Media and how she learns from people. It is a great source for getting to know people and have them get to know you.

Social Media does aid Theresa to open up her contact range and find people to talk to. It is interesting to see how many media folks who use it and some who are resistant and how they are being made to use it. Theresa has some great insight on this.

We also talk about Vancouver being one of the largest user of social media… lots of commuting and communications. Goes hand in hand.

Consumer and tech stories are things that Theresa talk about for CBC. The basic thing to be a good reporter is to be the best part of yourself – be interested in other people. Find your own voice…. trickier than it seems. Curiousity is a big thing to be for journalism, blogs etc.

Bacon! Theresa talks about chocolate bacon.

Kim and Bob learned so much from Theresa – we could have had a big tent sleep-over and kept on talking!

Sean Smith from Campbell River!

Talk about his family military history. Kim and Sean met on Twitter on November 11th and it was a treat to FINALLY meet in person. We talk about the value of Remembrance Day and all that we need to honour.

Sean is a huge Campbell River fan. He supports his community and that is exciting to see. He tells everyone why his town is great, shows the fish, the wildlife and more. Community building using the social media community. Lovely combination. He does lots of volunteer work and uses social media to promote his community. We would love for more people to promote their town, city etc!

We get to talking about Hootsuite, Sprout Social and how the analytics work for him. Bob is curious about the options….

Can we agree to disagree on Twitter? Conversations can be started – and opinions heard. We talk a bit about politics and how that works for Sean.

We really enjoyed listening to Sean – he talks more than us! Can you believe that!
