This podcast is being organized for the purpose of gathering supporting research for the Social Media Buyers Guide Project from Social Media Club. Join SMC Founder Chris Heuer and E-Storm CEO William Gaultier to hear leading technology vendors share their top three pieces of advice for individuals and organizations evaluating and purchasing social media technologies, services and media. Panelists will also share the three most important questions they recommend asking any social media technology vendor. Special guests include Mike Volpe from Hubspot, Blake Cahill from Visible Technologies, and others to be announced. We would like to invite other technology vendors and social media buyers to call in to share your thoughts at (646) 716-9346, or just listen in on the web at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/socialmediaclub/2009 /03/04/Social-Media-Buyers-Guide-Insights-from-Technology-Vendors.
