There was a great (if not somewhat controversial) panel at SES Toronto this year about Social Media and how it can be used for SEO purposes. It could be an interesting discussion for a Third Tuesday on *legitimate* ways Social Media can help drive traffic to your website. Here is a post about the SES panel (and outlines the above mentioned controversy!):

I’d recommend Sanjay Singhal, CEO of Graboid and former CEO of SimplyAudiobooks.com

He is a friend so I can get to him if you are interested.

Joe, Good suggestion. I’ve emailed Colin McKay to see if he or others would be interested in doing this. I’ve also added a note in the Third Tuesday FriendFeed room.

Hi Joe,

I know the Ottawa events tend to draw in a lot of public servants. At the risk of alienating the agency / corporate types, it might be interesting to have a presentation from the participants of the upcoming BarCamp for government-types.

Even agency types would probably be interested in knowing what’s going on in the GoC, given the contract potential. I’m not a public servant myself but I work with them so I know I’d be interested in a debrief of sorts.

Colin is one of the leaders of the BarCamp, I’m sure he could offer more ideas on this.
