Me: We went to a social media club gathering on Friday...
You: What exactly happens there?
Me: There were a bunch of social media enthusiasts from all over the place talking about...well... mostly the joys and opportunities with social media over coffee and toast.
You: What kind of people were there?
Me: I didn't get to meet everyone but there was Kate from Marketing Mag, Steven from Small Business Victoria, Trevor from ParkYoung PR, Luke from Knowledge Solutions, the Fake Stephen Conroy was there... a very diverse bunch of folks.
you: so what did you get out of it?
Me: A load of enthusiasm for actually getting my head around the fine world of Twitter in particular (although personally I do quite like it as an info source versus a social space) and some interesting and diverse minds to now hook up with and learn from. Quite refreshing to be meeting people from beyond our usual work domain. Some great tipsters were there but the debate was good and the ideas were plentiful.
You: How often does this happen?
Me: Every Friday at 8am at Mr Tulk at the Melbourne library. I gather they happen in Sydney and Brisbane too
In fact, Trevor, our new pal at ParkYoung posted a neat article on the mashing between traditional media spaces and social spaces... check it out.. great read:

Great post Trud. I really enjoyed the social media breakfast too. For me, it really inspired me to get amongst it and try Twitter...how could I not after being asked my twitter ID before my name more than once!!!
Agree with you that Twitter is a great info tool, but loving the few interesting characters I'm following. Great article from Trevor too...lots of usable quotes to use in there.
