@Socialmelb breakfast

On the 16/01/09 at 8am, a group of Melburnians met offline for the inaugural ‘Social Media Melbourne Breakfast’ after the feelers were put out there via a blog post.

Almost a year later of weekly coffees and after a couple dinners, the group is still going strong.

Currently we meet every Friday at 8am (I may be known to get there just a little bit after that time…) until around the 9.30am mark, although people may come and go as they please. The venue for 2009 has been at Mr Tulk located just off Swanston Street at The State Library of Victoria.

Old-fashioned techniques for new media

“Social Media Melbourne or #socialmelb is a weekly social gathering of passionate and inspirational Melburnians who have one thing in common: social media. On Fridays at 8am, we collaborate and share ideas, stories and views on a variety of topics from start-ups to business strategy, the latest news and social change to the latest joints worth a visit around Melbourne. Everyone and anyone is welcome to join us, as long as you come with an open mind.”

The best way to keep in touch is via the Socialmelb Facebook Group and Twitter account: @socialmelb or by searching #socialmelb. A website will be live in 2010 at socialmelb.com.
