Portland Social Media

March Meeting Update

By Tim

I attended SEMpdx’s SearchFest 07 on Wednesday, had a great time and I met some interesting people involved in search marketing.  John Hartman (he’s in our group) was on a panel, and did a great job presenting and taking care of all the audio/visual demands.

While listening to the Web 2.0/RSS panel I really liked the presentation by Dan Harbison, the Internet Marketing Manager at the Portland Trail Blazers.  I was surprised by Dan’s and the Blazer organization’s energy in adopting social media; did you know there’s a social networking site just for Blazers’ fans?  The site is called I Am A Trail Blazers Fan.  Even though there’s been some rough years for the Blazers and their fans, Portland still loves their only professional sport, and the success of the online community is a testament to that.

I asked Dan if he’d like to present at our next Portland Social Media meeting and he was happy to accept.  So, that’s the first item to add to the agenda; I think you’ll really benefit from hearing what a large organization has done with social media.

Now, I’m in the process of securing a place and time; so here’s the big question you need to answer: Is the evening of March 27th accommodating to a majority of members?
