Social media in Iceland quantity or quality

Just spent the day at 9.9.9. conference on Social Media in Iceland hosted by @hjortur.
Loads of really interesting speakers, I was told that @aldakalda at The Iceland Weather Report was really good in the morning and during the day we discussed a lot why the Government hasn't used the super power of bloggers to fight the PR battle Iceland is fighting every day! Clara, as always, shone and I was really inspired again by @icelanders by @briansuda. 

I talked on behalf of @ratsja on Social Media Marketing and using Facebook as a marketing tool.

A few topics really stood out. We at Ratjsá were of course all ears when the panel discussing politics, democracy and social media started talking about @framsokn, @helgihjorvar and other political figures we've worked with. I was also highly interested in an open discussion on Facebook vs. Twitter. As @briansuda politely put it:  "if you want quantity, use Facebook. But if you want quality, use Twitter". I many ways I agree, the Icelandic twitter crowd is a high quality P.R. and networking machine. As always I emphasized on putting more manpower into social media, listen and interact.

Another star of the show was obviously www.prezi.com

A big applause to Hjörtur at Scope Communication to put up this event, I sure hope it will become an annual event.
