It is human nature for our brain to be constantly in need of new information. Social media delivers just that. It is an excuse when you’re bored. An easy way to stalk your best friend. The leading cause of procrastination. But most importantly, it is an addiction. Read the rest of this entry »

Time to get out and vote! We have provided bio, info, twitter handles, and LinkedIn profiles for Madison SMC members to research each nominee before voting. Members are defined as one of the 566 people on our current mailing list as of Friday May 4, at Midnight. Some of the offices, you may note, are uncontested. There will be space for write in candidates for all offices except for president. As you may note in a prior post, the presidential nominees must have already been on the board to pursue the president position.
Look for your email that gives members the link to vote. This will be a unique link to each member. If anyone else uses your link, there vote will override the prior vote. Read the rest of this entry »

If people ask you what kind of Social Media you are actively using, your answer may probably be Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. But those are only part of my answers. Four years ago, I came to the U.S. for my college degree and that was when I started to know more about the most popular social media in the U.S. or probably around the world.
Facebook has more than 845 million active users around the world as of February 2012, while Twitter has 140 million and LinkedIn has 150 million. Read the rest of this entry »
Social Media and Sports

Guest post from Adam Moscherosch, one of our student interns:
I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t always been the quickest to adopt new social media trends. I never had a MySpace, I didn’t join Facebook until the end of high school, and Twitter was just an afterthought. I had nothing against them but I had no real use for them either. That all changed when social media was adopted by the sports world. Read the rest of this entry »
UWSocial Event Recap from Student Intern – Colleen
April 3, 2012 in Event Recap, Musings | Tags: collen reddy, madison, madisonsmc, SMC, Social Media Club, Student, University of Wisconsin–Madison, uwsocial | by leenysblog | 1 comment
President’s Note: Madison SMC has the help of 5 college students for the next 6 -8 weeks to help with a number of chores. They are working with us to set up our election, organize the events to celebrate and perhaps learn something about how a small group of people can get something (or nothing) done.
Waking up early is not easy for us college kids. Our clocks are biologically altered to second shift. But I must say, I am glad I rolled out of bed last week for SMB Madison. The coffee was hot (and unfortunately the room was too) but the people were energetic and inviting. The lead speaker was John Lucas from the Office of Communications and Marketing on campus to tell us how they have connected to an estimated 1,000,000 people in total fans, followers, and friends.
#UWSocial has been able to leverage the awesome campus community to engage a network much broader than their current students by meaningfully engaging followers in what they call “inspired goofiness”. They love to tell stories about the amazing people and events at UW and they do so in a fun and exciting tone. I think that the key to their success is really the so-called “echo chamber”. It requires collaboration and the sharing of stories that users want to hear so they retweet or repost to show support and affiliation.
Those of you reading this were probably in attendance, so I won’t bore you with repetition, but from a first-time attendees point of view, SMB is pretty awesome. It’s an informal way of connecting, networking, and learning. They meet every 3rd Wednesday of each month, but you know they’ll be tweeting if something changes! Thanks to the presenters and #SMBMad.

If you didn’t know, AJ Bombers is in Madison. What is AJ Bombers? Well some say it’s a cool burger joint with peanuts flying over your head and a very rustic atmosphere. If you watch the Travel Channel, you might have seen this Milwaukee based restaurant compete against Sobelman’s on Food Wars (which AJ Bombers was the valiant champion).
Well, believe it or not, AJ Bombers is now in Madison.
Located on 201 West Gorham st. in downtown Madison, WI, AJ Bombers is bringing the winning burger to a winning city. Hello – #WINNING!

What a wonderful September evening we had for the Cooperative networking event with Ad2 Madison at the Capital Brewery. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I leave you with my summary of the evening. Note that I used IMovie to gather the photos, uploaded to YouTube and tried the Audio Swap feature to add the music. Pretty sweet and easy to do.
