media use

I love those random, unplanned experiences that often land in our laps.  A few weeks ago I ran into a faculty member and her friend at a local breakfast joint… in the midst of our quick conversation we ended up (as so often happens in my life) talking about social media and Twitter.  This initial conversation led to a follow up breakfast meeting with several very cool folks from the organization Mother’s Acting Up (MAU).  We had a really great breakfast talking and strategizing about Twitter… what I like to think of as “understanding social media and how not to use it for advertising.”  It was really fun and rewarding to spend time with such genuine people who are interested in engaging with social media in the right way.  They had lots of cool ideas that they’re beginning to put into action.  I’m looking forward to seeing how their efforts grow and develop, I hope the social media seeds we planted bear lots of fruit.

Mother’s Acting Up is a great group doing important and meaningful work.  Check out their site for more info and ways you can get involved.
