Talking with Charlene Li about Social Networks


On Saturday at SXSW interactive I ran into my old friend and former business school classmate, Charlene Li.  Charlene who used to be an analyst at Forrester, is the co-author of “Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies and has recently set up her own consultancy, the Altimeter Group.

Charlene was at SXSW as a speaker and I caught up with her not long after she finished her session in the main ballroom.  You can check out the slide deck she presented below.  You can also access the Twitter feed and a summary of the presentation from Charlene’s post. [BTW don’t miss the blooper reel at the bottom]

Some of the topics Charlene covers:

  • Groundswell: How company leaders can leverage social networks rather than fear them
  • Which companies are making the best use of social networks
  • What social tools Charlene uses and her use of twitter (how it got her quoted in the Wallstreet Journal)
  • Not being afraid to show your age on the web
  • What Charlene is most excited about in the coming year with regards to social networks

The Blooper Reel

You may have noticed that there a few cuts in the video above.  This is because they were shutting down the show floor and kept announcing it over the intercom.  Check out the blooper reel below for proof — and these aren’t even all the interruptions.  (Unfortunately I didn’t capture the part when the Elvis impersonator started singing.)
