IM-NY Charity Event - Awesome Event

IM-NY's charity event in New York last night was a fun event for a great cause - raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Sponsored by Best of the Web, this evening social event was a great way to connect with the smartest industry leaders in Internet marketing and particularly in Social Media - as this event preceded SMX Social New York.

Jason Falls has a great recap on his blog Social Media Explorer.

Thanks much to Brian, Greg and Rob at BOTW (keep the shirts coming), Greg Niland / GoodROI, CCW at 10e20 and all who came out for making it a truly awesome night.

IM-NY's open charity events are not to be missed!  No joke.

Aaron Wall's Internet Marketing Mind Map

Aaron Wall put up a really interesting "Internet Marketing Mind Map" several days ago. It's really great to browse through. 

Interesting as well, he points out on his blog some of the flaws of pull marketing. From what I understand, due to releasing the mind-map on his Tools site, the map did not garner as much attention as it may have if he'd put it right on his blog site.  The post on his blog made me think a bit deeper that perhaps all marketing may be "pull" (because unique ideas have "pull" ) and "push" marketing really equates to sales.  It's definitely a subject worth examining over and over.  Nonetheless - unique ideas are what really drive any type of marketing....if it is unique and edgy, and you use both pull and push to get it out - you're moving it forward. 

Oh, don't forget hard work too!
