Social Media Club
Twitter is not only a wonderful way of networking, it’s also a great tool for discovering new resources. It led me to a very useful site for social networking. The Social Media Club is not only informative, but it’s gathering members across the U.S. and quite possibly forming a local chapter in your city or town.
The Social Media Club states the four areas of their core mission are:
Expand Media Literacy
Share Lessons Learned Among Practitioners
Encourage Adoption of Industry Standards
Promote Ethical Practices through Discussion and Actions
Check their About Page…I like the way the last paragraph reads:
Social Media Club will bring together journalists, publishers, communications professionals, artists, amateur media creators, citizen journalists, teachers, students, tool makers, and other interested collaboraters. Essentially the people who create and consume media who have an interest in seeing the ‘media industry’ evolve for everyone’s benefit. We are more than just USERS, we are the reason the tools exist – we are the people who communicate our thoughts and ideas near and far.Join us and let’s shape the future together!
Their tag line is “if you get it, share it,” (explained here.) I’ve always subscribed to the mindset that it’s usually more beneficial to share information than to keep it all to yourself. Help those around you, and you’re helping yourself as well. I see examples in action almost daily, so I know it works.
The whole idea of social networking and the huge collective it’s bringing together is pretty exciting. As a blogger and freelancer, it’s an important bridge toward my future.
