July’s Third Tuesday – Best turn out yet.

Tanya — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:53:49 +0000

We had a great turn out at our Third Tuesday event this month. The word got out, one person told another, and the group got larger than usual. For a minute, I was worried that everyone would not fit on the back patio, but then I realized that it was kind of nice, because we came together as one big happy family. Gathered round the table, passing the garlic and pepper, we munched on pizza, shared stories and supported each other like a family should.

Thanks again to all who came! We loved hanging with you and hearing about your dreams, passions, ideas and projects. Keep it coming. Best of luck to you all!

Wanna join our happy family? Come to our next Third Tuesday event on August 17th. Get your tickets at: http://thirdtuesday.eventbrite.com/

Celebrating Social Media Day

Tanya — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:53:53 +0000

First, let me start by saying that Social Media Day is a genius idea. I think it makes us stop and think about all the social benefits brought on by media. It truly is a revolution and has changed so many lives. As a user of various social networking tools, I have to say that the change has been positive. Kudos to Mashable for not only creating a special day to honor this, but also for making it social in the real world! It’s one thing to sit behind a keyboard and post to Twitter and Facebook. It’s totally another to come out and socialize with people you are following from the virtual world.

Ok, now let’s get to the celebration – what we did, where we were and who we met yesterday…I know you want to know.

WHAT – We partied with Mashable at the Social Media Day NY Meetup, of course. One of the top 10 meetup locations – woohoo!
WHERE – At a bar in midtown called The Mean Fiddler, where the drinks were flowing and the conversations agoing. The place was packed, but fortunately the party was spread out between 2 floors. Ahhh…room to breath.
WHO – We saw a few peeps we already knew and even some SocialWish fans, but we made some new friends too. Here are some pics (there would’ve been more if I didn’t forget to take my camera out the bag throughout the night…ugh!).

Got your own celebration story to share? Let us know what you did for Social Media Day.
