==Snakes are Out==
We're giving a prize at breakfast tomorrow to whoever prints out the most "SNAKE OILY" ad (webpage, email, snail mail, seminar) offering to make you practically a SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERT. Highlight the oily stuff (ewww!) to make it easy to spot.

==New Faces==
Please welcome a nice variety of new faces we'll see tomorrow. Some local, others from across the country.

==Meeting Room & Tagging==
We will be meeting in a first floor meeting room (straight past the escalator). Bring cameras and your tweetin' fingers as we'll be hearing some great insights. Please tag all #smexp .

    Great discussion and insights on using social media to build community and engage with your target audiences and beyond. The panel of experts were thought provoking, informative and fun. And the cupcakes from Muddys Bake Shop were to die for!
  • Jonathan Lyons
    Really enjoyed the panel. Loved hearing how all sectors are using social media (non-profit, church, private schools, newspapters, ect.) Really impressed by the private schools use. Great ideas flowing around the room. Lots of questions & answers. Touched on everything from Google Wave to tr.im.

    The panel concept was productive, informative, and interesting. The makeup of the panel probably contributed most to this. However, the format was different and refreshing. I think that Dave's idea of using this format twice a year would be excellent. Breakfast was good, service was good. The room was smaller, but it worked well. Regarding the agenda, if nothing changes from what I have experienced since last fall, this will still be my favorite "meeting" of several I attend monthy because I learn much (meeting others and learning about them, listening to the content of the meeting and learning much about the technology and its best practices. I hestitated to try the cupcakes, insisting to Blake Palmer that I would prefer extensive testing by a third party as to the quality of them. However, he assured me that he personally had tested them thoroughly and documented their essence. I accepted his fact-based report, but got busy and missed the opportunity -- maybe next time.
