Putting the social in social media
20Oct09

Last night Gordon and I attended the October event of Social Media Club Sydney. It coincides with the release of our Sticky TV interview with Tiphereth Gloria about the formation and growth of Social Media Club Sydney (check it out).

Once again, the event was informative and well run. But what really stands out for me each time I attend a social media event such as this is the real life interaction and conversations between so many switched-on people. I learn more from a few spontaneous discussions at these events than I ever will from a book or lecture.

Last night was no exception. Here are some of the fascinating people I chatted with (Twitter handles only):

@Emveem @Cancer_Research @acatinatree @NatFace @Eventmechanics @servantofchaos @bozisthebuzz @andrew303 @katetribe @zebrabites @planart

There were many more, so thanks to everyone for another excellent night.
