Shama, this video was very useful and effective. It provides real and relevant information in a simple/no fluff way.

We are organizing an IT event in Chicago, info. at opensourcechicago.com and will use these pointers to market it through social media.

Thanks

Hi Aaron-

1. Yes, I am assuming folks have an FB account. That’s the 1st step.

2. Yes – same on Twitter.

The basis for all these techniques is first have an account!

Shama, I got 4 of the examples, Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and Bloggers, but I could not decipher the fifth one, it sounded something like meetups???? Can you clarify. It is fun to watch your little videos. They are a bright spot in my day;-)

Shama, nice tips, couple questions.

1. Facebook – You’re assuming someone already has a FB account setup and sends an event via a note, correct? Versus setting up an entirely new FB account just for an event. Not sure I’m a fan of setting up FB accounts for singular events.

2. Twitter – Same thing, certainly push your event out with already established Twitter account, right? Not necessarily setup a new account just for that event. I know the answer could vary depending on the type of event, but I mean something like a yearly 5K event say.

Thanks
