So, I’ve decided to eat the $25 that I spent to go to the Politics4All.com Social Media Workshop and spend another $35 to head over to Vulcan for the “More Clients = More Money” .

As I attested to in an earlier post, I’m not a huge fan of politics. I guess I was looking for a legitimate excuse to not drive down to Montgomery (though I hate that I’ll be missing Paul Chaney speak, again). And I’m thinking more and more that a gathering of Media Professionals will be a touch more interesting.

I’m also looking forward to hearing Phyllis Neill and Andy Ford, two great entrepreneur here in town. Not to mention Tammy Hart…

Going to be great people, don’t wanna miss it!

(PS – if anyone wants my ticket to the Political Social Media Workshop in Montgomery email me)

Personally, I’m not a big political guy. I know just enough to know who I like and for who I could care less.

Now, since way before our last presidential election, I knew that social media would have a big impact on who would be elected.

Why? Because it was the ultimate way to engage “the” audience… The people of the United States. Getting people involved and interactive gets results. The fact that we are saying “President Obama” is proof of that.

So, I was checking my Google Alerts the other day, when I notice that some “political” organization was planning on holding a social media event in Montgomery. A big “I’ll pass” rolled through my head, after quickly breezing though the speaker list.

But looking at it today, I did notice that Paul Chaney was going to speak. Again, I wasn’t planning on going. But I feel that after meeting Paul at #soso (and having to miss his talk to go see my ol’ buddy @JasonFalls) I felt it was worth the $25 pricetag.

So, you’ll be seeing me down in Montgomery for the event. Though, I’ll probably stop by @FullMoonBBQ in Alabaster on my way back for some ribs.

Birmingham Magazine’s website is on it’s way, but it’s not there yet. It has the feel of a website done by someone who kinda understands about Social Media, but just hasn’t grasped the finer points, yet.I’m looking forward to seeing how this site grows because it could become one of the leading magazines in the social media space. Please, bhammag.com, remember that social media is about the engagement of your niche, not yelling at them with the bullhorn (Thanks, @acnatta).

If you have a site you would like reviewed for our Monday Web Spotlight, email socialmediabirmingham@gmail.com
