My experience with social media club has been one where everybody feels welcomed and comfortable sharing. That isn't the case with other groups I'm affiliated with. </p>Jake RosenWed, 24 Feb 2010 10:54:14 -0000http://socialmediamunchies.blogspot.com/2010/02/importance-of-social-media-club.html#comment-36293593<p>Jake, thank you for this post. Really. Knowing Social Media Club is making a positive impact in local communities is what keeps us going. Social Media Club started with a different vision for what a professional association should be, one that is focused on the value of sharing knowledge with others, a club that is more inclusive then exclusive and creating a space where people from different backgrounds and professions can come together as human voices contributing to the conversation.</p> <p>The club has not been focused on becoming the biggest, it focused on promoting media literacy, sharing best practices and ensuring that ethics are not lost as social media becomes ’serious business’. It is a loosely formed organization with enough structure to keep going, but not enough to dictate to people and local leadership around the world what they MUST do. The efforts put in by the local community organizers are what makes SMC a real success. Without their time and effort around these local events, we would simply be an interesting web page. :) </p> <p>Seriously, thank you for participating and writing this little ditty. We really appreciate it. </p>Kristie WellsWed, 24 Feb 2010 10:40:41 -0000http://socialmediamunchies.blogspot.com/2010/02/test_20.html#comment-35618646<p>test</p>Jake RosenSat, 20 Feb 2010 06:54:48 -0000
