Much thanks to Sally Falkow of for taking the initiative to organize a Social Media Club meeting in Los Angeles. It is going to be a busy September ahead, but very very very exciting to get things rolling around the country and around the globe. We hope to get some really great feedback on the direction of the organization and continue the conversation about the new Media Release. I will be sharing my findings from the XPRL group meeting in London, and insights from our discussions in New York and Miami.

Social Media Club Los Angeles
Thursday September 28, 2006
4:30PM - 6:30PM

Hosted by Expansion Plus & PRESSfeed
6767 Forest Lawn Drive
Suite 212
Los Angeles, CA 90068

Sally is working on some great technology that helps businesses become involved in the conversation. On the way to the Silicon Valley meeting last month, I had a great conversation with her about her experiences in South Africa and her decision to move to the states. Not only is she bright and insightful when it comes to Internet Marketing and helping companies make the most of RSS, she is an all around great person who I am glad to have met. We look forward to working with her, and other organizers down in LA.

So if you have an interest in Social Media, and live near the City of Angels, come on out on September 28, 2006 and join the conversation!  Help us shape the future of this very important group and discuss the key issues of our emerging field.
PS - That night I will be organizing a Blogger Dinner somewhere in Hollywood and also getting a chance to catch up with my Little Brother James Zinkand (from Big Brothers Big Sisters) who recently biked half way across the country and is now engaged in some pretty interesting entrepreneurial endeavours of his own. He is only 19 and has already climbed Mount Fuji and recently biked half way across the country! It’s good to know that I was able to provide a little bit of positive direction - better to be able to say that we are friends and brothers over 10 years later and 3,000+ miles from home!
