SMCKC Breakfast : Video Blogging and Social Media Tools

June 5th, 2009

smckc logo

So this morning we had the monthly social media club kansas city breakfast at Crown Center here in Kansas City. There was a great crowd with some new faces as well as the regulars.

We split into two groups with one talking about social media and the law (I believe) which I think Chris (aka Duckman1221) took some video and I was in the group that talked a little video blogging and a little social media tools.

As I had mentioned it was a great breakfast and if you were unable to attend here is a little bit of the action and we hope to see you back soon and for all the new faces we hope to see you again.

Whitney Mathews of Spiral16 also had a nice recap with some pictures from the event as well so check those out.

Some new features Ed has added when it comes to sever weather in the social media realm is adding a chat room for everyone to get together and interact with Ed and others as well as using the hashtag #kcstorms on twitter.

Managing Your Personal Brand – SMCKC Meetup

April 24th, 2009

Last night we had a smckc evening event hosted by Jennings Public Relations and Advertising. It was great catching up with everyone as well as meeting a few new faces to the crowd.

After some good food, drinks, and chatter we broke into groups to discuss different aspects of social media and I decided to attend the discussion on personal branding as it really pertained to me the most.

It was a great discussion hosted and facilitated by Ramsey Mohsen who is an awesome web designer/video blogger here in the Kansas City area.
