Thanks everybody that braved the morning’s #memsnow.
(Metaphorically) it was great to meet around the Expedition fire (while it was snowing) fresh with tales from the wild. It was great to share the time with everybody along with two new folks: Liz Jostes (our speaker) and Bryan Burnett of O.R. Nurses, Inc.
It was great to hear what’s happening with the CA’s StartupMemphis site. Check it out and don’t miss Dowd’s Cloud! Thanks James!
Awesome discussion about the many ways to use DropBox, and other great utilities out there like HeyTell and (my favorite) ShowMeWhatsWrong.com (Thanks Bryan!).
Liz did an outstanding job walking us through Klout. Not only did she share the scoring, and some of the controversy about Klout, but she also shared a side by side comparison of her own experience. Check it out: Klout’s not for everbody, and not for Liz (anymore). Here’s her Klout (BarCamp Memphis version) presentation on SlideShare. Great work Liz!
Thank you so much to everyone who presented at our May Show & Tell Breakfast! We’ve definitely got some neat new tools to try out, and here’s the quick recap, in case you missed it!
Works like Twitter for events. You have a feed that shows you not only events from your connections, but also events based on your location and interests.
Subscribe to individual feeds; see where your friends are going and which events they are attending.
Can import Meetup.com info.
Can auto-create an event on your Outlook Calendar.
BEST PART: Allows event planners to reach a wider base, consisting not just of their existing social connections, but also those who’ve specified particular interests.
