    Social Media Club is a fledgling association of humans being organized for those interested in producing, consuming and engaging with one another through Social Media. Its membership consists of those who believe in the power of conversation - as a path to common understanding, as a gateway to knowledge, or as our Cluetrain friends have correctly posited, as the basis of markets. Social Media is conversational media in all its interactive forms including text, video and spoken words - whether face to face, over the Internet, over the airwaves or via mobile technologies such as iPods and cell phones. Social Media Club is intended to be a place where amateurs and professionals can come together to learn from one another, to understand each other and to work together on the things that make meaning in their lives - their personal passions, their professional endeavours and their noble pursuits. The Club hosts conversations and participatory conferences around the world that utilize best practices in social learning techniques that provide everyday people and practicing professionals with the knowledge they need to make the most of the tools that power the "Web 2.0" and "Social Media" Revolution. In short, it empowers people to engage with one another regardless of geographic location or ideological leanings.

iMemories: a True Use for Social Media

At tonight's Social Media Club meeting we saw a really great preview of a new use of social media, the iMemories online site. iMemories is founded by one of the former founders of Knowledgenet. Its mssion is to help people who have old film and videos digitize and edit them online, and then share them with family members.

The local version of the company has been doing business for a year, and has processed 75,000 "assets" (rolls of film and tape) during that year, mostly from people either in Arizona or visiting. The company has established a "manufacturing" process for digitizing the old films and videos affordably.

We had a wonderful discussion of how social media is used to enhance people's memories and emotions, and how it will be used at iMemories by completely non-technical people who wish to do nothing but watch their old home movies with their families.
