Was briefly considering an approach like this for my Conversal software but did not have the video codec expertise. Is there any good competition for this application suite?

Dan Greenfield of Earthlink interviewed me last Friday about Social Media Club. He has a good piece on it which makes me feel like we are really onto something special with what we are doing with Social Media Club.

This is a really great idea that VW put together with their agency. Only problem is that the video latency was so bad I could not even watch one of the video clips. I found it from an ad they ran on ValleyWag. Shows that even smart ideas won’t work unl

Rent an Expert Event This Wednesday!

I am excited and a iittle nervous about the Rent an Expert event this Wednesday July 19th starting at 530pm. It still seems that a lot of other people have expressed interest in coming that are not on the Wiki – I don’t know if it is because they don’t have the password “yeswecan” or because they don’t know how to edit a Wiki or because they are not really coming but are being nice to me 🙂 Whatever, the reason, I will be there along with at least a couple dozen other good folks who want to share their expertise with others so it looks like this will be a very interesting experiment.
The brief overview of the night is that people like you will be able to set up shop at one of the tables in the room offering your expertise in 15 or 30 minute appointments, helping people learn or do anything that you want to offer. Sessions can be one on one or perhaps even done in a small group setting if appropriate. People will pay a minimum of $1 per 15 minute sessions but are encouraged to spend more if the value they received was high. Throughout the evening, everyone in attendace will vote on which charity will receive the donation of all the money collected. At the end of the night, all the money and votes will be tallied and we will announce which charity is the big winner. Also, the person who collected the most money will win a copy of MindManager Pro from Mindjet!
So now we need a few volunteers and could really use one more last minute sponsor since the company we had hoped to donate additional wine fell through (or rather, we never heard back from them after initial interest). Volunteers will help with signage, managing the appointments, helping people get oriented when they arrive, setting up the room and a little bit of the cleanup. Those of you who can volunteer, please show up around 5pm.
We will mix and mingle from about 530-6pm. At 6pm we will do a little kickoff and the first appointments/sessions will begin at 615pm, continuing through till about 8 at which time we will collect all the monies and tally up the winners. Make sense? Do you have an idea that will make it better? Want to sponsor or volunteer? email Kristie@ this domain.org
Much love and thanks to our sponsors, CNet, MindJet, Rate It All, Stormhoek and Social Media Club.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

As a first time Burner this year, I continue to be amused at the different ways people look at the phenomenom – so much great creativity – we are really looking forward to the experience but won’t be overplanning it. I just really want to soak it all in,

If you are going to laugh at one, laugh at them all. Equal treatment for all people through the eyes of some of the most irreverent commentators of our age.
Time to light the fire for Social Media Club!
Posted by cheuer in New Media Release, Social Media Club on July 12th, 2006
We finally have everything together enough to actively begin promoting Social Media Club as we unveil a better explanation of our ideas behind it. If you have subscribed to this Blog to monitor our discussion as it relates to the New Media, or Social Media, Press Release format (aka hRelease), please note that I will be primarily talking about it at the Social Media Club Blog. Where all my related resources will also reside. I agreed to take on the role and push the community process forward in discussions with Tom Foremski because it is a key area of focus for Social Media Club – on initiatives that promote fundamental standards and ethics.
Please take a few moments to visit Social Media Club and read through my initial ideas for where I want this to go – more importantly, provide real feedback on what ideas are good and what sucks. If you are willing to support what we are trying to do, please do write a Blog post or do a podcast or a vlog about your thoughts and tag it with ‘socialmediaclub‘ so we can consider everyone’s ideas in the process. Please also realize that the plan is for us to use the ideas that are now on the site as a starting point for the conversation, not the end point – what we actually end up doing and how we focus the efforts of the community will be the result of conversations with the community and the actions of as yet unknown leaders.
OK, while there is still a lot to do, and probably always will be, at least it has finally started – and only about 2 weeks beyond when I hoped to be ready for the launch at Gnomedex. Well, now I finally need to get off to MashupCamp for the end of the day, so more to come later tonight..
