Ranging from neophytes to experienced, the common thread was a desire to learn and grow.

The first order of business was to talk about one of the basic conventions of marketing on social media… Don’t be a butt-head… engage others with meaningful conversation.  Educate your target market.  Interact with them.  Listen.

We also talked about building future events.  The next event is going to be in Cobb County on August 26th.  Midtown should come soon after that.

The core group was divided between Midtown, Cobb and Gwinnett… with a couple of hardy professionals venturing from Athens, too.

During the networking talk, FaceBook Fan Pages, Active|Rain, WordPress and Flickr were all being discussed in various parts of the room.

For more information, feel free to visit our FaceBook Fan Page.  We will also be coming online with a WordPress MU blog, too.  As soon as it is live, I will be posting the address for that as well.

The event will be from 7am to 9am at the Duluth Diner on Peachtree Industrial Blvd, just south of Pleasant Hill Rd. in Duluth.

They are opening up just for us, so we need to have an idea of how many people are going to be there.  This will allow them to set the appropriate level of staffing.

We have put up a new Fan Page on FaceBook for Social Media Breakfast Atlanta.  Drop in, become a fan, leave a comment and let us know if you can make it to the event… or even if you are able to help do an event in another part of Atlanta.  We are VERY spread out.  We are already working on an event for the Marietta area and would like to be able to have events in Midtown and the Southside as well.

There is a little more info here as well about the event.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
