This week we welcome guest Becky McCray, small town liquor store owner and the force behind Small Biz Survival. Becky talks about how social networking helps her reach out to and help other small business owners from her (very!) small town in Oklahoma. Becky offers great hints for small businesses that want to get started in social media. Read Becky’s four-part series on Social Media from a Small Town

As PodCampNYC 2.0 got underway on April 25, three of us, Mike Gaines, Christine Cavalier, and Annie Boccio, joined with Roxanne Darling of Beach Walks with Rox, Phil Campbell of me.dm, and Christian Payne of Our Man Inside, along with special guest Jeff Deskovic of Jeffrey Descovik Speaks, to discuss social media and the mainstream, and other topics. Phil recorded the session on his Nokia N95 and live-streamed the video out via Qik.
Thanks to Phil Campbell for allowing us to release the conversation here at Push My Follow.

Thanks everyone for the fantastic feedback so far! We hear you and we’re working on improving both the show and the show notes.
Unlike probably most other podcasts, there wasn’t a lot of pre-planning. We’re fortunate to have Mike, an experienced podcaster who is recording and editing the show (and trust me, editing this group is a big job!) But most of us are learning as we go.
Your comments help, so please keep them coming, either here or via twitter.
