I'm afraid that's the end of my #CdnInst social media conference stay and my tweets about it. Bye all.
Final session at #CdnInst is a panel on managing risk and reputation through social media
Ira Basen gets the CdnInst talking. But so does a car crash. Is that a good thing?
@molsonferg Do you exist to provide jobs? Have a happy workforce? Basen oversimplifies by suggesting that selling is the only goal. #CdnInst
Ira Basen cites the fact that Molson gave free beer to blogger @davefleet http://tinyurl.com/573o9z "They used to do that for us." #CdnInst

@MichelleCliffe Deirdre Breakenridge is the author of PR 2.0 the book
Ira Basen In the new world of social media, "It's OK to talk to strangers and everyone is someone's friend." #CdnInst
