Our good friends over at Fleishman Hillard have opened up their offices again and are hosting the second meeting in London. Come one, come all.
Suggestions have been to discuss the latest in tools, technologies and success stories. However, if there is something specific you would like to throw out onto the table, please […]

One of the intersting things about being involved in the broader social media community within the different cities we visit is being able to compare and contrast regional attitudes and concerns. For me personally, I am always amazed at how much we share in common more so than the differences - the differences tend to […]

A couple of days ago I received an email from a lad in Boston asking about the gathering next Thursday, and whether or not there was room ‘to squeeze him in‘.
Thinking back to past events, I know there is always a handful of folks who sign up, but end up not attending. Nothing you […]

This is the audio from the Talking About Disclosure Round Table that we held at CNet’s Headquarters in San Francisco on Wednesday October 25, 2006. In attendance were about 19 leading thinkers on social media including Rafe Needleman, Mike Arrington, Tantek Celik, Martin Mckeay and Social Media Club’s SF Trio of Chris Heuer, Brian Sollis […]

For me the biggest challenge I see in our efforts for dealing with the ethics of disclosure coming out of our Social Media Club Round Table on Wednesday was the matter of consequences for those individuals and organizations who betray our trust so egregiously. Edelman and […]

It’s pretty late, so I’ll post more about the meeting tomorrow.
We had a great crowd show up. A bit of discussion on “What is Social Media,” which morphed into discussion about Disclosure and what one discloses when one creates Social Media. I’ll have more coherent thoughts tomorrow, and will also link to anyone who blogs […]

Chris Heuer, Brian Solis and Shel Holtz* discuss Edelman’s woes and the notion of disclosure; they also catch up on the working group progress and chat a bit more about tags (can you ever get enough?).
Shel Holtz provides a list of links supporting this podcast on his website, For Immediate Release.

It’s easy to get caught up in the rapidly evolving world of social media and sometimes I have to stop and remember that there’s a whole other world out there that thinks social media is a group of friendly journalists.
Over the last several months I have had the opportunity to help start and participate in […]

Hey, I hate to follow Kristie’s post with more ‘bad news’ but we’re full tonight in NY. The wonderful folks at Fleishman have given us a room for 60, I’ve taken about 65 names, assuming a few people won’t show up. We may be looking for a bigger room next time. I know, its a […]

Wow! What a great conversation tonight over at CNet’s Headquarters here in San Francisco - thanks again to Joel Sacks and Rafe Needleman for hosting us there. Unfortunately my M-Audio died again in a new and interesting way - thankfully Martin Mckeay had his trusty iRiver and we will be posting audio of the […]

I feel weird using the word ’sold out’ here, but we have 85* people registered and have reached capacity for the room we have reserved at the Colonnade Hotel. So, unless someone can offer a venue that could house 100 folks comfortably - we need to stop accepting registrations.
There is obviously a lot of interest […]

I think about disclosure or talk about it with someone almost every day. Often it is in regards to whether or not I am able to disclose something because it has to do with advice I am giving clients, which happens all the time if you […]

Hello Northwest!

I know I am […]

At about this time last week, I was honestly worried we were in trouble with the workshop we are hosting next Monday From Social Media to Corporate Media - I did not really hear any buzz, registrations were modest at best and I briefly considered what we might need to do if we were forced […]
