On February 18th, after a snowy delay, the York County Social Media Marketing Meetup Group - What’s Happening York County (WHYC) met again to discuss all-things-social-media etcetera etcetera. And yet again, we were there to learn, share, and enjoy the conversation. Here below are some of the highlights of that event.
President of Lion Technologies, George Sanders presented “Twitter Applications: A Simple Concept“. It gave all attending a good look at the robust and powerful application hootsuite, along with a few other Twitter applications including… Seesmic, Co-Tweet, Tweekdeck.
George’s discussion wrapped with some mention of other fun Twitter tools and sites including Nearby Tweets and a nifty search + Twitter + RSS set up that provides clean clear keyword results. Twitter and the third applications mentioned occassionally loose a tweet or two, but the seach + RSS set up really seems to be flawless in it’s gathering. To try it: (1) go to search.twitter.com (2) type in your keyword (username; product name, etc) (3) grab the RSS link on the website and (4) feed it into your reader (*Google Reader works well). Viola! You’ve got a keen eye on the stream.
Before George gave his presentation, Allen Hogan provided attendees with an overview of the purposes behind WHYC and shared with everyone - Ways to Get Involved. *If you’d like to know more about WHYC or to volunteer to help others in York County learn, grow and gain with social networks and tools, let us know. We’ve surely got something for you to do and we’re open to new ideas.
If that wasn’t enough ~ here is a video of the event.
So, what’s next? Glad you asked.
On March 18th at 12 noon at the Yorktowne Hotel we’ll be attending, livestreaming, and loving the next WHYC where we’ll see online marketing maven Mandy Arnold present on Online Reviews. The presentation will follow a brief open-house of the netSpray York Office, and it should be a blast!
So register today, or just show up and join us for the next York County Social Media Marketing Meetup.
