Mainline Tweetup / Social Media Users Meetup Debuts
On Wednesday, September 30th, Team and a Dream hosted the first Mainline Social Media Users Meetup. It was held at Christopher's on North Wayne Avenue in Wayne, PA. The purpose of the meetup was for practitioners of social media - novice and advanced users alike - to meet and network offline. Of the 16 people who attended, many were business professionals looking to learn more about leveraging social media for business building. There was spirited discussion on social media tools & technologies and best ways to use it.
Additionally, Marilyn Moran of Team and a Dream interviewed a local non-profit organization about an event they were promoting (which has now passed). The video of that interview can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/teamandadream#p/a/u/1/eIgQ40y0NuI
