My coworker and fellow #CarpoolOfInsults rider, Marty Duren, has the privilege of presenting to the Evangelical Press Association today as part of their 2013 convention in Nashville.
His presentation is on social media. It’s quite fitting since he is the lead social media guy here at LifeWay. While I’m not at Marty’s presentation, I really hate that I missed it as well as Carol Pipes’ presentation as Minnie Pearl last night. I would have paid good money for that.
“@tobinperry: My friend & former boss @carolpipes is playing Minnie Pearl to kick off #EPA2013! twitter.com/tobinperry/sta…” // That’s my girl.

It was epic from all reports. And someone at NAMB really needs to get Tobin a new phone. That pic looks like it was taken from a Motorola Razr.
But anyway, back to Marty. Here are some of the highlights from his talk today:

Saying you don't do social media is like saying you can't read. If you value literacy you should value social media. #EPA2013

@martyduren sharing on social media at #EPA2013: Do not be afraid to fail forward. Don't post on the news; post on what the news will be.

Marty obviously paid this guy to tweet this (unfortunately very few people saw it though. I wonder if Marty will tell them why…):
@martyduren One of best Christian bloggers around presenting insight on social media. Excellent. #EPA2013 #kingdominthemidst

Even though this wasn’t from Marty’s presentation, it wins for best tweet so far:
Heading to a workshop at #EPA2013 about how to get a great interview. Assuming the first principle is "No Nickelback."
