Today over 400 executives and service providers .COnvened in San Francisco for the Smash Summit, hosted by Dave McClure and Stew Langille.  The Summit is an exploration of social media marketing tools, tactics, strategies & campaigns “used by successful online companies to acquire and retain customers on search, social, and mobile.” Smash had one of the greatest all-star line up of speakers I’ve ever seen at a conference – including innovators from Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Animoto and Twilio. (see SmashSummit.com). 

I think some of the most exciting information I got out of Smash Summit was an overview of all the new analytics and monetization vehicles being offered by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube – and a sense of the real commitment of some of the largest and most successful companies in the world to social media (like Cisco, Virgin, HP and Comcast).
