IOM Third Thursday – 17th September

This Thursday is the Third Thursday of the month (my birthday 🙂 and for a group of us that means a Social Media Club. It’s normally organised by Sherrilynne from Strive, but she’s on holiday at the moment, so she asked me and @OwenC to set it up.

So, what’s Social Media Club all about? Well, it’s a gathering for people interested in Social Media. You may have just been introduced to Facebook; or you could have a thousand followers on Twitter; or maybe you want to find out what blogging is and whether your company should be doing it. Social Media Club is an avenue to meet people with a common interest, share experiences and discuss the latest and greatest happenings in the Web 2.0 world.

Join us for lunch at Paparazzi in Douglas, Isle of Man this Thursday 17th September 09

I look forward to seeing you there!

Next Thursday is the Third Thursday of the month and for a group of us that means a Social Media Club. It’s normally organised by Sherrilynne from Strive, but she’s on holiday at the moment, so she asked me and @DerekRichardson to set it up.

Basically,  we are bunch of bloggers, Twitterers, Facebookers and people who are enthusiastic or curious about Web 2.0 and how individuals and organisations can use it.

Anyone who is interested in journalism, publishing, communication, marketing, art, media, teaching, learning, Internet and marketing is welcome.  In short, anyone who is curious about how modern humans communicate should come along.

Third Thursday - Social Media Club

This Thursday we are getting together for another Third Thursday – Social Media Club – Douglas – Isle of Man

From Strive Notes

Following on from the success of our first ever Super ThirdThursday in February everyone is invited to attend our lunch meeting 19 March 2009.  We revert to ‘regular’ format for this one, so that means we all meet at Paparazzi in Douglas at 12.30.  We had a record turnout last month so I hope all those newbies can also come.

The Isle of Man Social Media Club is all about sharing the learning and best practices of the social web, that is blogs, networks, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, all the rest.  Anyone who is interested in journalism, publishing, communication, art, media, teaching, learning, Internet and marketing is welcome.  In short, anyone who is curious about how modern humans communicate should come along.

On this occasion, I won’t be able to attend.  I’m going to be at SXSWi, an excellent conference for social media enthusiasts, and be there at the April meeting to tell you all about it.  In the meantime, Blogger Extrodinaire Owen Cutajar has volunteered to chair March’s meeting in my stead.

On the subject of Super ThirdThursday’s, the plan is to have them quarterly. I’d love to hear your suggestions for speakers and/or themes for May.  Please let me know your ideas.

I look forward to seeing you there!

When I arrived in the Isle of Man – August 08 I came into contact with Sherrilynne from Strive PR, who was doing the Third Thursday – Social Media Lunch.

Roll into Feb 09 and things are on the up and I am really looking forward to the next one.

February’s meeting of the Isle of Man Social Media club is open to all and is taking on a whole new personality.  The first-ever Super ThirdThursday takes place on 19 February, 12.30 to 14.00 at the Claremont in Douglas.

First of all, you don’t have to buy your own lunch because Strive PR is sponsoring the event!  Yup that’s right, free lunch!   Secondly we are lucky to have a guest presenter. Chris Gledhill, managing director of PDMS, is going to tell us all about the Isle of Man’s own social network, manxgraduates.im, which was recently launched by the DTI with the support of the DoE.  The site helps connect Isle of Man employers with Manx workers living here and further afield, and encompasses many of the same features as Facebook and LinkedIn.

Take up so far has been strong with lots of employers and candidates registering. Chris will explain the networking strategy and how it aims to solve some real economic and social challenges for the Isle of Man.

It’s open to everyone, and like I said before, lunch is on us.  Please let me know if you can come, so we can confirm catering arrangments.

I look forward to hearing Chris chat about Manx Graduates and seeing the regular faces plus a whole bunch of new ones!

Well done Sherrilynne!
