Peter Fasano’s social media strategy blog

Glad to be in ATL this year for SoCon ‘09. It seems that I have been in SF or traveling someplace at this time of year for the past two years. I am so pleased that the community is thriving in the Southeast with more than 300 folks attending the show Saturday.I look forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones this weekend. I am a late addition to the pre-event dinner tonight so I guess I had better pre-fuel as I will be leading a roundtable chat about social media and PR. I have been working on social media marketing listening, learning and measuring strategies for brands and would love to hear your approach. Have a seat at my table tonight or share your comments.

So the other day at Octane I caught up with a few pals, Duncan and Tessa, and we quickly discovered that this trio did not have a grasp on how much or how little happening in and around ATL in the social media, start up and bloggy worlds. After digging a bit I did find loads of great stuff going on - like now! I have collected the disparate events into a public google calendar for your reference and feed. I will do my best to care and feed of the calendar. Please let me know if you have an event upcoming or I have missed and I will add it. Enjoy!

A very powerful presentation offered by Lawrence Lessig on the the topic Free Culture, Copyright and the future of ideas. I was interested in previewing the video as I start into his Future of Ideas ebook.How have you or your company used technology to share creative work? In a time when marketers are looking for viral opportunities to promote their products or services, most seek the messaging and legal control rather then the organic results of the mashup. What are the successes or failures you have noted?

Hey friends - a quick ballet has been posted at Social Media Club that closes this Thursday. They are seeking and I have offered to volunteer as an interim board member. I would appreciate your support by clicking through and offering me your vote. I am interested in offering my time, ability and support to the club that has been a tremendous source of friends and thought leadership for me in SF, Atlanta and NY since 2006.  Thanks for your consideration.
