Internet forums and business meetings across the world are littered with conversation about Social Media. The discussion is almost always the same; what are the newest gadgets, and how can we make money off of them. While there is nothing wrong with earning money through tools provided by the internet, it is not, and should never be, the end sum of our interests and our existence.
The Social Media Expedition was organized to expand that conversation to cover the topics that impact us most, and provide a more complete picture of how Social Media can be a part of real, current life issues, and give us the tools to make a lasting, positive difference in our families, communities, and peer groups. The Social Media Expedition is an unofficial group of people interested in using, discovering, discussing, sharing, and enabling Social Media in whole life applications that categorically include:
- Family / Relatives (nuclear and extended)
- Friends
- Community (neighbors)
- Consumers (Business)
- Profession
- Faith (Religious Institutions)
- Citizens (Government)
- Students (Educational Institutions)
Additionally, there is the expansive psychology around social networking that needs to be part of the conversation as well. How, as human beings, we relate, adopt, abuse, and deny this media is additionally critical. Memphis is only the first chapter of what we fully intend to become a national phenomenon. In the future, we look forward to spreading this conversation to other cities, and eventually undergoing a name change to become the "Social Expedition."
