Jason Falls explores Radian6 and the Great White North

We were honored to host Jason Falls of Social Media Explorer last week here in New Brunswick. Our paths first crossed in social media when we saw him tweet on Twitter about his search for a social media monitoring solution for a client of his at Doe Anderson. We reached out and the rest is history. During one of his messages he mentioned that he’d love to visit and after his successful Baja1000 and Robbie Gordon experiment it was suggested that a bit of maniac sledding take place while he was here. And it certainly did and thank goodness Jason wasn’t hurt in the process.

Meet Jason Falls at Atlantic Canada’s first Social Media Meetup

Jason Falls is in our neck of the woods next week so we thought, why not have him speak at our region’s first Social Media Meetup. With the kind help of Lisa Rousseau of MeshEast the idea took shape and the meetup was born.

If you happen to be in the area we’d love to see you at the Meetup next Wednesday, January 10th at 7pm in Fredericton. If you aren’t from the area and you want your fill of 8ft high snow drifts and sub zero Fahrenheit temperatures just like Jason just let us know as I’m sure we can find space next to the fire to warm you up.

Frozen Pea Friday’s - Every little bit can help

We’ve all seen how ideas can spread with social media. The Frozen Pea Fund inspired by Susan Reynolds is a wonderful example. Just take a look at the number of posts generated so far on the topic. And because of the discussion try searching frozen peas on Google and see what you get. One post on the first page but pages two and on are dominated by the discussion.

It’s a great example of how real communities are in the virtual world of social media. It shows how powerful ideas and views can be quickly shared amongst communities and how real actions can be taken (see the money Connie Reece has been raising for Breast Cancer Research).
