These are my raw notes from Jimmy Wales’ talk at NYU.
Pictures are here.
Right before Jimmy starts speaking, John Perry Barlow walked in.

Jeremiah Owyang is one of the brightest and most influential commentators on Social Media and Web 2.0 today (I know because I track these things with BuzzLogic, a company I advise), but he writes in a post this morning that he hates [has been challenged on the use of] the term social media, and asks […]

At the Social Media 2007 conference there was a discussion about sharing blogging policies. Someone at lunch has asked if Social Media Club had a repository for this. We do now: please share your blogging policies here by putting in a link or upload a file at our Wiki.
Thanks to Racquel Wright of Acuity Brands […]

I had the distinct pleasure of having lunch with Shel Israel on Friday January 26, 2007 over in South Park. We talked about a number of interesting topics, but most of all, got a chance to get to know one another as humans. Afterwards, we sat down for another installment of our Podcast series […]

Following the 3rd Thursday event held on the 18th, the last week has seen a flurry of activity in the blogosphere addressing the value (or lack of value) for a social media news release. Chris Heuer, Tom Foremski, and Shel Holtz review the various points different posts have made and how it can affect […]

One of our good friends from Vancouver, Dave Olson, who produces some awesome (and zany) social media in his own right away from the day job, just released this great white paper today on “Blogging for Retailers“. Not only is it a great piece from a very deep thinker, you don’t even need to […]

First off, thanks to Yahoo! for understanding the importance of Social Media and for stepping up to be the location sponsor for the launch of the Dallas Social Media Club. I was pretty concerned about space at the Yahoo! offices as we were limited to 25 registrants. We filled up the seats exactly for the […]

Despite large parts of the UK trying to blow away with the attendant travel chaos that staggers those from less civilized climes, we had more than 25 hardy souls braving the elements from as far away as Bonn (yes, as in Germany) and Cardiff (yes, as in Wales), for free beer, wine and nibbles (Thanks, Fleishmann Hillard!) and some incidental chat about social media.

There is quite a churn in these meetings so far, though some suckers keep coming back for more, so we started with round-the-room introductions. There was a wide variety - media consultants, media creators, bloggers, photographers, marketers, entrepreneurs, geeks, visual-thinkers and many more.

This latest episode was recorded live from the The Third Thursday meeting that took place at Shine SF in San Francisco on January 18, 2007.
Mike Manuel announced the new partnership between the Third Thursday group, SNCR and the Social Media Club and then we delved into the main topic for the evening, the Social Media […]

Marketing Roadmaps: What’s so wrong about “audience?” - another social media press release flap. Susan Getgood argues that the term “audience” is a way to describe the people who actually care about a particular story being told or information provided. I think she’s on to something, as the term “audience” has evolved into meaning two-way communication that recognizes the importance, value and contribution […]
