The first Social Media Breakfast Atlanta event was this morning at the Duluth Diner.  At 7:00am, about 20 dedicated Social Media Adventurers gathered to discuss better ways to deploy social media for their businesses.

Ranging from neophytes to experienced, the common thread was a desire to learn and grow.

The first order of business was to talk about one of the basic conventions of marketing on social media… Don’t be a butt-head… engage others with meaningful conversation.  Educate your target market.  Interact with them.  Listen.

We also talked about building future events.  The next event is going to be in Cobb County on August 26th.  Midtown should come soon after that.

The core group was divided between Midtown, Cobb and Gwinnett… with a couple of hardy professionals venturing from Athens, too.

During the networking talk, FaceBook Fan Pages, Active|Rain, WordPress and Flickr were all being discussed in various parts of the room.

For more information, feel free to visit our FaceBook Fan Page.  We will also be coming online with a WordPress MU blog, too.  As soon as it is live, I will be posting the address for that as well.
