I'm pretty psyched for a number of reasons. I'm doing small business technology bootcamp at next month's Black Enterprise Entrepreneur's Conference. I did the same last year, when 1500 entrepreneurs attended. This year, even with all of the economic challenges they're expecting the same kind of crowd. And I just heard Spike Lee will be a keynote, so it would be very cool if I had a chance to meet him.
I'm also psyched because Paul Greenberg and I just "cut" the latest installment of the CRM Playaz. You can check it out over on Paul's ZDNet blog. We riff on a report that finds social media does not help B2B salespeople close deals. We also talk (badly) about celebrities on Twitter. But one thing we were happy to announce is our first sponsor - Hubspot.com. I've known these guys pretty much since their inception, which makes it special to see what they've accomplished over the past 2+ years creating their internet marketing platform. I've used Hubspot for Technology For Business Sake, and shortly we'll be putting up the CRM Playaz site on Hubspot as well. Thanks guys!
Speaking of Hubspot, they've invited me to participate in one of their free webinars tomorrow - How to Use Social Media to Attract Customers. I'll talk about how I've used social media, as well as how you can integrate it into a more traditional CRM strategy - in other words I'm talking Social CRM!
They have put on some great webinars in the past. You don't even have to take my word for it, just check out the Twitter stream of folks who signed up for this one:

This has nothing to do with me, but everything to do with the kind of content these guys crank out on a consistent basis. So a big thanks to the Brian Halligan, Dharmesh Shah, Mike Volpe and "the crew" for inviting me to join them.
