BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

I'm missing flock tonight, because I'm a lead organizer for podcamp pittsburgh, which has a bike-related element for this year, so I'm using this for shameless self-promotion.

Podcamp is a social media unconference (meaning free and casual) which gets a whole bunch of people together to discuss and learn about all things social media, content management, podcasting, blogging, citizen journalism, using all these tools to benefit you, your business, your non-profit in all sorts of ways.

Want to learn how to develop better relationships with your customers through twitter?

Want to learn how to better engage with your local community online?

Want to see how others are managing their online content streams?

Want to learn how having a facebook account can bring people to your business?

Legal ramifications of blogging?

Advertising on social media?

Activism?

Storytelling?

Wordpress?

Drupal?

If any of these things vaguely interest you, you should put podcamp into your schedule. We've got 60 sessions of a pretty wide variety of topics with 575 registered attendees.

Saturday and sunday, 9-4 at the Art Institute (420 Blvd of the Allies). Registration is closed, but feel free just to walk in, no registration is required.
