Unclasses

We talked a lot about FB Fan Page Management tools. Seesmic just launched pretty robust support so it looks like it is now a viable alternative to TweetDeck for FanPage management.

Thank you Aaron for putting together the class and allowing us into your office space.

I actually got a lot of really cool practical tips/tricks and ideas about what apps to use.

Very interested in doing it again in a month or so and coming back with some thoughts after playing with my new list of 10 things to do.

Cheers,

Oops sorry for spam. See it now as 16th st is the update. My apologies.

Is this Class at 16th St (original post) or Steiner (Aaron’s update). Assuming Steiner and trying to make it there after work.

In thinking about tonight’s meeting I think it would be helpful if all of you think about these following questions?

1. What are some good examples from the web? (good Fanpages, Blogs, Tweeter, etc.) We will look at these to learn from them.
2. What are your favorite web apps/tools to manage or unify social networking sites? How do you use them?
3. What do you want to be able to do with your social networking sites but you don’t know how to do it at this time?

My goals for the meeting:
- learn how to use specific web tools/apps to help manage and unify social networking sites
- look to the “best” of the web for examples of what is possible

Please feel free to post more of your own questions. We will discuss meeting goals and questions at the meeting.

Finally, I will have a laptop and an projector available at the meeting. We will definitely look at the sites and applications we are talking about.

Good idea Aaron…here are a couple of questions to get things started:

1. What is the current state of social media (prevalent uses, best practices, etc.)?

2. How to use social media to maximize “viral” marketing

3. How to quickly and easily stay on top of and current with all the different social media outlets (e.g. managing it all, getting and staying organized, time management, etc.)

Thanks—looking forward to it!

I would be great if folks could start posting some specific questions they want to explore for the evening. Remember I am only a facilitator. I am not an expert.

I am realizing that the number of people registered for this class is pretty large. I would like to propose that we change the venue to my office at 16th and Mission. 3040 16th St. I will provide a projector which I think will be useful for get down to the nitty gritty of how we are using Web 2.0.

The date and time has been set!!!

When: Thursday September 17th at 7:30pm to 9:00pm
Where: 534 Steiner Street (big blue house between Oak and Fell)
What you should bring: If you are hungry you can pick up a slice of pizza, BBQ, Thai, and a variety of other edibles on Haight Street. I will provide plates, glasses, and water.

Most of the days should work for me. Looking forward to it!

Hey all, Aaron is at Burning Man – I’d expect to hear from him in about a week.

Has a date been chosen yet?

I am proposing three dates for the Web 2.0 and Social Media UnClass. Please use the meeting Doodle to help pick the date. http://doodle.com/ygcdgf2wbr7sfsqp

This class could work well as a discussion / sharing of individual best practices. Let’s see if we can round up a group.
