Another great story about Chris Hambly

I first met Chris Hambly via a Page Flake version of Yahoo Upcoming! and I went to the Bucks MediaCamp 07 he organise. I bumped into him again at the Chinwag event and . . .

he invited me to a Saturday evening get-together of ’social media mafia’ in Soho at the Slug n’Lettuce.

This was great. Several other people there had also been at the Bucks MediaCamp 07. One person returned from Sweden, no less! Others like me had driven in from the lower Midlands.

So who gets involved in social media?

Theater producers, marketeers in the third sector, educational technologists, electronic engineers, and would you believe, Conservative politicians!

What do they do?

Marketeers raise money for large charities - lots and lots of money. Educational technologists work in universities. Electronic engineers act quite normally and run online businesses. And theater producers and conservative politicians help businesses use social media.

If you need help with social media:

Contact Chris who is likely to know who might help you.

What do I do with social media?

I work at the purposeful end of local media in what are called peer producing networks. We might develop a P2P network within a workplace to provide direct access to what we have learned in the field. We might sponsor a P2P network as a place for people in our industry to compare notes. And we might organize P2P networks for local communities with a special interest.

P2P networks are often facilitated with technology (it is so cheap!). We also do old fashioned things like have get-togethers of like-minded people in suitable places (like Soho!).
