Check OUT that alliteration! But seriously, the Social Expedition was delighted to welcome back one of our former hosts, this time as our interviewee. Vibrant as ever, Elizabeth told us all about what she and the Memphis Music Foundation are doing to help keep Memphis’s rich musical tradition alive by providing resources to artists new and old. In particular, Elizabeth works to bring musicians into the social media realm to connect directly with their fans. Listen in to hear more about the Memphis Music Foundation, artists in social media, and Elizabeth’s opinions on Twitter.

In the remainder of the podcast, the Social Expedition grants ‘Yays’ to the new Bump application for iPhone and Android, Amazon and Facebook’s integration,*** and (of all things) MySpace. Emphatic ‘Boos’ must be given however, including to Google’s backlash at Yelp and Facebook’s deletion of the “Most Recent” news feed option for some accounts. Check out the other Yay’s and Boo’s by downloading the podcast below!

Then join us next Wednesday (August 4) for our monthly breakfast at the U of M Holiday Inn to hear more from Elizabeth! It’s at 7:30 in the morning, and we promise the delicious buffet is so worth getting up a little early! RSVP here.

***At the time of this posting, this feature seems to have disappeared. Boo.
