Have you heard about Fusion 41?  Ford is grabbing a handful of social media and leveraging it to promote the 2010 Ford Fusion.

I’ll give you the link to check out the contest.  It is pretty cool.  Go buy a 2010 Fusion, grab a few friends and have some fun.  BTW, I’ll be happy to be on a team if you have the car…

If you weren’t there, Chris Brogan, co-author of Trust Agents recently spoke at the New Media Atlanta conference. It was excellent.

He ran through several genres of topics, and even addressed the “Back Noise” channel… by putting it on the screen for all to see. (Be aware, there is a bit of profanity, and while Chris didn’t “drop the F-bomb”, PLENTY of people on Back Noise dropped it all over the place)

Head on over to LaneBailey.info to see the video.  It was a great presentation, for several reasons.  To start with, he knows his stuff… but he also took a new technology that seemed to be designed to throw the presenters off of their game… and he used it to his advantage!

Perhaps you’ve noticed the sidebar widget with the Wall Posts from Facebook…  Maybe you are getting this via RSS and haven’t seen it…  Well, I wanted to take a few minutes and do a little cross promotion.

I’d love for you to join my FaceBook page.  I am going to try to be better about posting up links and tidbits there regarding Gwinnett County, real estate and garages.  Basically, the things that are too short to make a blog post…

So, drop in, become a fan and get all of the latest updates.

And don’t be shy.  I’d love to hear from you here or there!

It is coming up on Thursday…  at 7:00am…

I am quite willing to admit that I am NOT a morning person.  I don’t really like 7:00am… especially when I have to get up at 5:30 to make it happen.

But…

This is pretty important, and will be a LOT of fun.  The VERY 1st Social Media Breakfast – Atlanta will be both fun and important…

For those of us with businesses that utilize social media, like FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and scores of other sites, leveraging our social media contacts to increase our earnings is VERY important.  And there are a lot of unwritten rules, practices and traditions for each different network.  They also have collective personalities.  One of our primary goals is to help decode all of that information in order to be effective.

And there is no doubt that networking (both online and off) can be a lot of fun.  Reconnecting with old friends, making new friends… it’s all about building relationships.  So, there isn’t any reason that we can’t have fun getting together with like-minded folks to talk about something we have in common.

So, obviously it is worth the early morning wake up.

Interested???

If you are interested, take a look at our post on the Social Media Breakfast website and/or drop in and become a fan of our FaceBook Page and look around.  We would LOVE to have you join us…
