Last night’s Boston Social Media Club event focused on the huge upswing in video in the social media space. Rich Wadsworth of LP&P kicked things off with some great statistics on video usage, and introduced the event’s three presenters.

Steve Garfield talked the group through how to make a videocast–it’s really easy to do! Larry Lawfer of YourStorys reminded us that just because it’s easy to do doesn’t mean we should do it. And Jason Alcorn of Mindshare gave some great insight into how video is being used to capture attention around important issues and causes of the day.

The turnout was great, and our hosts at Lois Paul & Partners were very gracious in opening up their beautiful offices to everyone. We have some video and audio captured, which we’ll be putting up over the next few days–be sure to check back regularly!

Next month’s event promises to be even more interesting, as the group tackles the sticky and difficult subjects of terrorism, cartoons, social media and the generation gap…
