    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.

Social Media Club Announces Interim Board

The Social Media Club announced today it’s newly formed interim Board of Directors. The board boasts a roster of highly-regarded industry leaders; a truly amazing group of people that I am honored to be a part of.

As connected as we all are, it’s sometimes a challenge to get organized amidst all of the clutter. I think it’s vital at this juncture to have a central support network for those of us involved in Social Media to share resources and ideas, build community and contribute to establishing best practices and standards in the area. The Social Media Club is a part of this support network, alongside other organizations and standards efforts including Creative Commons, Microformats, Data Portability, OpenID, the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), the International Association for Business Communicators (IABC) and many others.

The new interim board has been charted to address several key organizational and strategic deliverables, including development of membership goals, acceleration of local chapter development, increase in adoption of industry standards and implementation of a new legal structure to enhance future growth.

The newly named/appointed members of the interim board are leading social media analysts, bloggers and business leaders, and are as follows:
