Well its high time that I start posting the SMBMSP podcasts, as we continue to crank them out every month. A visit to good friend and fellow SMB organizer Mykl Roventineรขโฌโขs blog got me thinking I should start. So below are the show notes and podcast.
Iรขโฌโขd like to mention that weรขโฌโขre holding a contest for a podcast theme song, and we discuss the details in this show. Along with Mykl Roventine is our producer, Brad Bellaver of Bellamedia and special guest Amy Bryant who wrote a fantastic Thanksgiving post on her blog last week.
We talk a bit about giving thanks and what weรขโฌโขre thankful Social Media has brought into our lives and experiences, so I hope you give it a listen. As always, feedback is very welcome.
You can find the podcast home page and information and feed links here.
Hi there, it’s time again for the next SMBMSP event here in the Twin Cities รขโฌโ our 11th event if you can believe it!
We’ll be talking about social media and how it can be used in job search. This is a hot topic during our current economic situation, and I’m sure there are a number of people who will benefit from the discussion.
We’ll have Paul DeBettignies (@MNHeadhunter) to talk about these things from a recruiter’s point of view. Other folks with great ideas for using social media for job search are welcome to stand up and share them with the group.
We’ll also look at brainstorming ideas for our fellow SMBers and invite you to share job leads on our Forum here on our Ning site.
Weรขโฌโขre working on sponsors, but currently this event may be BYOB. Weรขโฌโขll keep you posted on that from the smbmsp.ning.com site, so you may want to check in there once or twice. Or follow us on Twitter (@smbmsp) for updates.
So join us in taking our understanding of social media and applying it back to our own community for job search.
Hi everyone! I thought Iรขโฌโขd let you know about the upcoming Social Media Breakfast รขโฌโ Twin Cities on December 19th.รย Itรขโฌโขs a Holiday version of the event, meant to be fun and unstructured.
We will be meeting at the Lake Elmo Inn Event Center, where weรขโฌโขll have a full breakfast buffet with all your breakfast favorites (including bacon!), served during the entire event.รย The Lake Elmo Inn has great food, and is a consistent readerรขโฌโขs choice winner in Mpls./St. Paul Magazine, with great facilities and excellent food.
This is a pay event and costs $20 per person. Registration will be open through Dec. 16th and there are only 60 seats available, so donรขโฌโขt wait! Click Here to Register
Weรขโฌโขll be having a great morning with the story of Ratchet, related by Katie Konrath.รย If you didnรขโฌโขt hear the story, itรขโฌโขs one of community, social media, and compassion coming together to make something happen.รย One of the great examples of our interest and commitment to social media on a personal level.
Also, we will have an รขโฌลopen micรขโฌย for you to share your stories from past events, or to talk about things that Social Media Breakfast has enabled for you.รย Tell folks what exciting new ideas youรขโฌโขre working onรย or what you do.
Along with that, weรขโฌโขll have much more time to talk and trade stories on a more intimate setting, with smaller groups and less pressure to adhere to an agenda.รย Bring your ideas or stories and share with the folks at your table or the one next to you.
So come enjoy our most exciting event, our 10th event in Minneapolis & St. Paul, our first full breakfast, and probably the best chance to simply connect with more of the SMBMSP crowd than youรขโฌโขve had a chance to previously.
I look forward to seeing everyone who can make it!รย If you want to make it, but donรขโฌโขt have a ride lined up, direct message or “@” smbmsp on Twitter and weรขโฌโขll do our best to connect a some folks together
When: Friday, December 19th, 2008 from 8am to 10am
So Iรขโฌโขm sitting here this fine, cool, wonderful Saturday morning, working on plans for the next four Social Media Breakfast รขโฌโ Twin Cities events thinking. Thereรขโฌโขs an energy here in the Northland that is hard to describe, but I know our fellow social web enthusiasts know what Iรขโฌโขm talking about.
Even with the issues in the world-wide economy, I see energy and optimism that is a component of every entrepreneur. The ideas are fresh and honest, the kind that make you say รขโฌลwhy didnรขโฌโขt I think of thatรขโฌย? The atmosphere of these events engenders this kind of creativity, the kind that allows you cheer them on. The real work of meeting people, exchanging ideas and making things happen are as timeless as they are productive.
Itรขโฌโขs because of these extraordinary meetups that drive me to continue to help make them happen. Realizing that this is something I enjoy only makes the effort that much more rewarding. So as we roll out the next several events, I wanted to take a minute and thank all the folks who visit and participate in these social media events. You are the reason we find value in getting together and sharing those ideas.
Itรขโฌโขs time to start talking about the next SMB in Minneapolis/St. Paul! Weรขโฌโขre going to be meeting at the Deluxe corporate headquarters in Shoreview, MN on Oct. 31st.
What better way to wrap up the month of October and start your Halloween weekend than to meet up with your local social media peeps? How about how about a chance to talk social media with the bestselling author of the hit book The New Rules of Marketing & PR: David Meerman Scott? In addition weรขโฌโขll have a chance to talk with startup entrepreneur Steve Nielsen, President & CEO PartnerUp, a Deluxe Corporation Company.
The fine folks at Fallon will talk about their Twitter campaign for SciFi’s “Eureka”. Each attendee will get a free copy of David’s Book (up to 100 attendees), which he’ll be happy to sign — courtesy of our friends at New Horizons Computer Learning Centers.
