Social Media Club Birmingham Meeting January 21, 2010

January Meeting.

PLEASE RSVP IN ONE PLACE ONLY, either on Upcoming or on Facebook.

Bring your own lunch if you wish to munch (a good idea since the subject will make you hungry).

One of the hottest topics on the Web is food. And there is nothing more social than food. Put social media and food together and what do you get? Foodimentary! Don't miss January's presentation by The Foodimentary Guy, John-Bryan Hopkins. Hopkins (at my last count) has no fewer than 15 different microblogs/blogs, many of which have impressive traffic and engagement. How does he do it? Join us to find out his secrets to online success.

From Wikipedia:
Foodimentary is an online entity that unites foodies across the world. The Foodimentary philosophy is one of eating well to live well, but in a relaxed atmosphere that is different from that of the gourmet or the uptight nutritionist. Good local eating, quality ingredients, health tips, and fun facts are the substance of Foodimentary's many online expressions. It began as a twitter page which quickly grew and is now upwards of 90,000 members. Foodimentary was also the first-time user of a few twitter hash tags including #dailyquote and #todaynfood. The twitter page recently won a shorty award in the #food category.
