Social Media Club Dallas Launches

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 launch and I couldn’t be happier.

As for the event itself, after introductions and a brief history of the Social Media Club, we dove right into a discussion about the Social Media Press Release. The discussion was lively, constructive, revealing, and educational. As the moderator, I chose to let the discussion continue for the duration rather than cut it short because the group was getting a lot out of the back and forth. I will need to have a discussion via wiki or Google groups about the direction of the local chapter or we will need to discuss that topic first next month.

With the attendance and reaction (all positive) I will need to find a new location for the next meeting as it is clear that Yahoo! will not be able to accomodate the size of the second meeting. Fortunately, Big In Japan has already stepped up and offered a bigger space for the next meeting. Thank you Jake!

We will be releasing the audio recording of the event soon in multiple parts. I’ll post a link to the podcast here once it is published.

Special thanks to those who came including folks from 12comm, @visible, American Airlines, anthonyBarnum, Big In Japan, BrainBand, jambo, JH+P, Kinetic Results, Mdirect, PRWeb.com, Rapp-Collins, Samsung, sbig, TagMyCity.com, and Trabian among others.

Change in venue for Dallas SMC gathering

While I know some of you were looking forward to cruising Addison’s Main Steet, it looks like you will have to settle for the lights of downtown Dallas this time around.

Our dear friend Giovanni Gallucci has just secured a great spot at the offices of Yahoo! for the launch of the Dallas Social Media Club. Everything else remains the same - just a different place to park your car.
Yahoo!’s address is 3131 McKinney Avenue, Suite 500 in Dallas, TX and if you have not registered for the event yet, please do so here as we need to know you are coming.

Cheers!
