    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.

BarCamp Phoenix Dec. 8!

(As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one.

How to help

We need to find some sponsors. In particular for lunch, maybe t-shirts and some general swag. We'll also probably have an after party so a sponsor for food and drink there would be helpful as well.

I want to help

Cool! Please send E-mail to: james AT risingtidesoftware DOT com.

You can also help promote Phoenix BarCamp by displaying one of these attractive logos:

The concept of this conference is start with a loose structure and build the topic plan on the day of camp with the people in attendance. The general topics are things to do with the internet or technology, perhaps Web related, but from there it's open. If there's something you'd like to present simply add it to the list, if there's something that you'd like to learn more about add it to the list of suggestions and maybe someone else will pick it up. Basically the idea here is just to collect a bunch of smart people together and allow them to talk about what ever is interesting to them. If you're an expert on something it might make a good topic, as would a simple demo of something cool that you've made.
