PCBC – Day 3 Video Post
It was a the last day of PCBC and I had the chance to interview two companies.
First was Lynette Rogers, Product Marketing Manager for James Hardie. The are by far the most active building supplier in the social media space. You can check out all of their efforts on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and LinkedIn They were also actively promoting their social media efforts at the booth and by tweeting updates from the floor.
We also hear from Jim Adams, CEO of NewHomesDirectory.com about their industry PR Site called NHDBuzz.com. A free site to post stories and releases.
#pcbc09 Tweetup Video Post
We had a great time at booth 2134 and the official #pcbc09 tweetup – spearheaded by Rob Bivens @rbiv from Golden State Lumber (yes, a supplier people!) I put together a quick video highlight of the event. I asked a few of the folks there how they and their companies were using Twitter.
At the tweetup:

PCBC – Day 2 Video Post
Another jam packed day on Thursday. There was a lot of energy and it was busy with meetings.
In this video Sarah Yaussi from Big Builder, the hardest working journalist at the show, gives her impression of the show (I definitely echo her sentiments). She is overflowing with information and knowledge .
I talked with James Honeycutt, Director of Sales for Builder Homesite (BHI) – the Newhomesource.com guys. They have other great products to complete the “digital experience” for homebuilders.
Had lunch with the Bokka Group from Denver, they are now global getting ready to do some work in Australia. (I had to bribe Paula Huggett to go on camera – she pulled it off)
Stopped by the Move.com booth and talked to my good friend Dan Sargent – had him talk about some great advertising options for home builders.
We also did a live stream online – first one for the homebuilding industry – I’ll dedicate another post to that later in the week.
