I’m honored to be counted among the people invited to give new impetus to the Social Media Club. Through conversations with companies, organizations, local universities, and interactive agencies, I’ve experienced the growing interest in social media and the increased demand for industry practitioners. By bringing together those who have an interest in seeing the industry improve and evolve, SMC provides the much needed forum for sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy. 1

The interim board will establish the guidelines of this association, to create the necessary framework before the SMC grows further on a national and global level. Once the framework is agreed on, local boards will be established with interested corporate and non-corporate members. Please read the full press release if you’d like to know more.

As we collaborate on on organizing SMC for the future, Chris Heuer, founder of Social Media Club and Partner at The Conversation Group, acknowledges that:

“Our core mission will remain the same: promotion of media literacy; support of industry standards efforts such as Creative Commons licensing, Microformats, Data Portability and OpenID; discussion and promotion of ethical behavior; and sharing our knowledge among our members and the industry community at large.”

The newly named members of the interim board, some of whom are friends and others who I look forward to meeting, include:

  1. We are in the process of relaunching Social Media Club in South Florida ↩

Alex, I have great ideas for the Social Media Club, and for YOU PERSONALLY:

1. I’ve just launched at my site the first Ads-FREE Web!

2. I found you on Frienderati.alltop.com, - as one of the 100 Best People for Friendfeed!, - and thought you may also be interested to appear on my Frienderati.Mini-News.com

Please note it’s NOT a copycat of AllTop:
The idea behind it is *Absolutely Unique*
– The Ads-FREE Web!

Please also note that unlike AllTop, you need to apply for your space on Mini-News. It’s FREE, however, there is a “25 people only” limit for the Frienderati.Mini-News.com!

The space is allocated on the “First-applied First-granted” basis!
And YOU are among the FIRST people to whom I’m telling about it!!!
