About the Interview
If you don’t know about social media, this interview is for you.  If you know about social media this interview is for you too.  Not a lot of structure to the conversation however there are a lot of great nuggets to be learned about social media and the rules of engagement.

In this interview Jason is a twenty something and the perfect candidate that the Internet Marketers want a piece of. He is THE demographic, young, affluent and online. He is also in the business of social media, so he is tech savvy and knows the rules of engagement. He shares the rules of engagement in the social media space. It’s not too complicated we just have to be authentic.

He will help you get a really good feel for the “social media environment” and how to play and interact while you are there. Weather you are in Facebook, MySpace or Twitter, Jason provides a topical feel for what to expect and how to behave in these environments. Jason also bridges the gap of how marketers and businesses can engage users in social media without being a dork.

I checked out Jason’s profile on LinkedIn and pulled down a testimonial and it seems to be quite fitting. If there were a King of the Geeks, Jason would be his scheming but loyal Grand Vizier. His existence is a direct challenge to the presupposition that Pomona students are smarter than Oxy students. He could also be the exception that proves the rule. But on a more serious note, Jason is really a brilliant guy. He’s got almost bottomless knowledge of all things geeky, he’s a great writer and he’s easy to get along with. December 6, 2006
