This is New Brunswick's first Social Media Meetup.

David Alston of Radian6 suggested that since Jason falls, author of Social Media Explorer will be in Fredericton visiting Radian6 that we take this opportunity and turn it into a social media event. Jason Falls from Kentucky also authors the public relations blog, The Straight Pitch (www.straightpitch.com). His freelance work includes copywriting for corporate websites and publications and writing television scripts for the web-based video program, The Daily Idea . He is also a regular contributor to MoreThanDerby.com, a Louisville-based community blog.

We'd also like to ask that everyone donate an amount of their choice to The Frozen Pea Fund for membership. The Frozen Pea Fund is raising money for breast cancer in Susan Reynold's name. The Social Media community has embraced Susan's Pea Fund and we can use the power of networking to do a lot of good. Thanks to Radian6 for the social monitoring of the Pea media.

There will be finger foods and refreshments available.

We hope to see you there!

    Wow, I had no idea what pent up demand we have here for an event like this. Unfortunately the room only holds about 30 folks so we had to cap it at that. If you happen to find out that you absolutely can't make it after all please RSVP "no" so others can take you spot. Looking forward to a great event. Spoke with Jason today and he has lots of cool things to share tomorrow. See everyone then.

    That's a good question buKit. Any volunteers to do minute by minute twitter posts of the meeting?

    i enjoy social media as it allows me to actually be 'social' without being 'social', because really, at heart, I'm anti-social.

    Jason is definitely a pioneer when it comes to social media. If you are on Twitter you would probably be aware of his social media experiment with Robby Gordon's Baha1000 race. Not only is Jason extremely knowledgeable in the use of social media but his posts are very entertaining. He has a great sense of humour and uses it to convey his points on a regular basis. It promises to be a great evening of sharing, stories and networking. Make sure to RSVP and bring along a guest.
