What I learned at PodCamp Pittsburgh 5, in no particular order:
1. I need to blog more. I’ve been bad about that lately.
2. Even if you make .08 cents off your Google Ad, in Philadelphia, you need a $300 business privilege license.
3. Mapping out your social media plan rather than making lists of words can be helpful.
4. I get stuck in traffic a lot. (This was pointed out to me by a Twitter follower.)
5. The Goodie Truck has massive chocolate and peanut butter brownies that according to Terri should last you 4 days, but I ate mine in one. Maybe I’ll skip dinner tonight to make up for it?
6. What a 649 shot is (though I didn’t try one).
7. 12% of executives consider their social media efforts to be effective.

8. Social media won’t save you. You need to 1) build great products 2) know your customer 3) have a great idea 4) have a plan.
9. Dragon Naturally Speaking works really well for transcribing what you say to the computer screen.
10. Hootsuite can handle a lot more accounts at once than I realized.
