Denver Social Media Club

The local chapter of the Social Media Club had its inaugural meeting last night at the Uptown Tavern in Denver (great place for Murphy's Stout, btw).

The buzz in the room and vibes were extremely positive, and you could feel the group's passion and excitement for social media, wanting to learn more, and sharing experiences. I'm looking forward to participating.

The turnout was good (despite a typical late afternoon thunderstorm that rolled in), and the organizer Dee Rambeau explained the purpose of the club &mdash "a community for the champions of social media and those seeking to learn."

Dee shared an excellent social media tutorial, Todd Defren's PR 2.0 Essentials, which is wonderfully concise overview of the tools (RSS, wikis, blogs, tagging) and best practices for marketing professionals and just about anyone else who is new to the Participation Age.

I was amazed at the credibility attached to my name badge. "You're from Sun? Love the stuff you're doing &mdash you guys really get it, and Jonathan is awesome! He actually responded to a comment I left on his blog!"

It sure felt good to hear this unsolicited praise about Sun, and it motivates me to work harder to share Sun's point of view with the world.
