Last Night’s Social Media Club New York Event
Thanks to Steve Eisenberg and Howard Greenstein for putting it all together. About 70 people showed up! Wow! It’s always a pleasure to speak with Andrew Weinreich, and together, I think we really gave some good ideas about where social networking is, where it’s going, and who’s winning. It was a lot of fun.
Another nice thing it did was allow me to personally connect with a few Facebook friends I’ve only met online up until this point.
And when I got home, I saw that I broke 1,000 friends. What’s kind of amazing about that is that they’re actually people I either know, have networked with, or who have come personally recommended. That, to me, is kind of cool - they’re “real,” if that makes any sense.

I’m up this early to head to the Long Island Chapter of the Society for Professional Marketing Services, where I’m keynoting their breakfast. Long Island Rail Road, here I come. Woo.
Happy Wednesday!

I too was up before the crack dawn for the Society of Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) breakfast event on Guerilla Marketing yesterday.
I registered because I loved the name of the program. It was different enough to catch my attention. And…it was just what I needed. Like many, I get burnt out feeling sometimes and it takes a real jolt to remind me how excited I was when I came into the industry and get me focused on why.
For anyone who was there, you know what fun it was. For those who weren’t, Peter Shankman was a fun and exciting speaker who woke us up with ideas and humor and candor. You don’t know how much you appreciate that until you experience it.
Bravo to the LI Chapter for bringing some one ?different? to your breakfast program. It was more than worth the trip out to be with the LI Chapter and participate in this event. No more breakfast-as usual.
