Facebook Marketing Conference 2012 - Check Out The Highlights

fbmk12

Last Wednesday Chinwag and Our Social Times held the long awaited Facebook Marketing Conference. The day was packed full with speakers, case studies, stats and quotes, our favourite still being from Tom from We Are Social, asking "are you a dipper or a smotherer" (in reference to Heinz ketchup that is).

The day was a huge success with over 120 people through the door, 22 speakers and a twitter hashtag that not only trended during the day but reached over 76,818 people (baring in mind we ended up with two hashtags being used #fbmk12 and #fbkm12)!

For those of you that could not attend the conference, we've done a recap of the event highlights with links to some of the presentations. It'll almost be as if you were there... just without the free chocolate (thanks again Cadburys Dairy Milk).

The World's First Internet Cat Video Film Festival

OMG Cat

It was bound to happen at some point...the Online Internet Cat video craze is moving Offline with the launch of the world's first Internet Cat Video Film Festival.

Internet cat vidoes have entertained and amused us for a while now. Traditionally spread virally via email or social networks, most viewers watch the short video clips of feline tomfoolery alone...until now.

Walker Open Field have annouced that on 30th August, they'll be holding the first Internet Cat Video Film Festival, for free, projecting the best clips for everyone to openly LOL and 'awwww' together.

Celebrating this move (and being the resident Chinwag cat-lady), there's some of our favourite cat-clips below:
