Social media has changed so many industries. As has Twitter. This conference seems like a great way to in essence formally announce the impact of Twitter in the social media world in 2009. So many celebrities that I follow on Twitter use it to express there fashion, whether its an outfit they just purchased and Twitpic it, for it it is a direct link to the website for their line of clothing. Fashion is all over Twitter. Competitions between fashion brands such as the Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards are also a great idea. Having the best online video or the best Facebook page leads to more traffic to a brands site and eventually more sales. The fashion industry is completely submerged, and this has happened so quickly. I am excited to see the future of fashion brands on social media sites!

It is so good to see so many industries taking advantage of the incredible tool of social media. Of course, awards are a great way to encourage individual companies to make this move. We’ve seen how one good viral video can create remarkable amounts of buzz with very little cost and effort, compared to the effects, so I am glad that there is a category in these awards for best online video. And what better prizes than products from top fashion designers? I think this is a great way to both collaborate and show off what these companies are doing and learning through social media.

Fashion really seems to finally be coming around in regards to social media. When I look back to earlier posts on your blog it seemed that at the beginning many in the fashion industry were reluctant to get involved. However, now, more and more innovative ways to expand the fashion world to the web seem to be coming up. This conference will really help people in the fashion industry feed off of one another and be great for the maturation of fashion and social media

This is a great start for the fashion industry. I love fashion and am becoming increasingly aware of its importance on the internet. This panel will help the industry become informed on ways to use things such as Twitter, and Facebook. I also like that this conferences take on the style of Twitter by shortening the time and getting down to the important information. With so many prominent fashion brands becoming aware of social media this event will hopefully give them the extra push they need to become fully immersed. Lets hope we see more of these conferences and events in the future!
