Yahoo!7 Answers Blog Australia

Last night, some of the team here at Yahoo!7 attended an event around social media and online audiences hosted by Social Media Club Sydney.

The guest speakers included Drew Parkes from Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division to talk about the 22 million strong global community that is XBox Live and MC Hammer, ranked 14th most influential person on Twitter according to WeFollow, to share his experiences with social media. What followed was an intuitive and frank discussion about the importance of engaging online audiences through social media.

Thank you to Mr Parkes and Mc Hammer for taking the time to share their knowledge and experience.

During the event, a Twitter feed was running on a projector screen with questions to MC Hammer asked from the tweets. I did post a question from us but alas there were so many people and questions, it didn’t receive an answer. It was still pretty cool to see Yahoo!7 Answers represented though!

MC Hammer also made the following appearances on the Seven Network this morning:

If you were ever lucky enough to ask MC Hammer a question, what would you say? Leave a comment below!
