Listen in to the rest for our coverage of yesterday’s Facebook announcement, especially if you’d like a pair of free Gap jeans! We’ve got an update on the Foursquare/Chicago mayoral election, but that’s not the only business Foursquare has their hand in…

They’re sending us BarCamp swag! So thanks, Foursquare. We are loyal enthusiasts.

Lastly, remember to turn your clocks back an hour on Sunday (fall falls back). We’d hate for you to be early somewhere.

In addition to being an e-commerce pro, we were delighted to find out Maggie is something of a geek. Listen in to hear us get nerdy about click-through rates, the “post-deal-dip,” and learn about the new daily deal site that Scripps will be rolling out in Memphis shortly.

Connect with the Inside Scoop on their website, sign up to get the emails, like them on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter @insidescoop901. Or, find Maggie herself on Twitter @maggielouie.

In other podcast minutes, we’ve got some highlights from the Apple event yesterday, plus a truly unique merging of Foursquare and politics. Sounds like a bad idea? Well, it’s still fun to talk about.

We hope to see you tonight at Twilight Camp (5:30 at the LunaWeb offices), but definitely get excited about BarCampMemphis, which is JUST around the corner on November 13. Follow BarCamp news on Twitter at @barcampmemphis, connect on Facebook, or just check out the website!

Check it out on YouTube, then be sure to register for tickets to the event HERE! They’re only $10, but Like the Facebook page to stay updated on upcoming promotions.

Elizabeth Cawein, long-time friend of the Social Expedition, loaned us some of her time from Memphis Music Foundation to speak at our August Breakfast. She shared with us some of the ways in which social media is helping Memphis musicians grow and thrive. Besides the usual Facebook and Twitter, Elizabeth also recommends artists utilize sites like bandcamp.com and the old-standby MySpace to connect with their audiences, build relationships, and expand their fan-base.

Plus, Elizabeth issued a challenge to everyone present at the breakfast, and we in turn are extending it to you and everyone in Memphis – Support just one Memphis musician. It can be as simple as signing up for their email list or going to a show. Every bit helps keep Memphis’s rich musical heritage going!

Find the Memphis Music Foundation on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or check out the blog!

Plus, Dave filled us in on some upcoming BarCamp events within driving distance:

• BarCamp Conway – Aug. 20
• BarCamp Birmingham – Aug. 28
• WordCamp Birmingham – Sept. 18 & 19
• BarCamp Jonesboro – Sept. 25

Let’s put together a caravan? And be sure to RSVP for Twilight Camp on the 19th!

With today’s Core Conversation podcast, we’re tackling BarCamp with a start/stop/keep format. Let us know what was missing, what needs to go away, and what worked for you.

At our usual Core Conversation time (11:30 a.m. Central) we’ll be available to hear your thoughts on how we can make the next “camp” experience the best it can possibly be. You can listen to the entire podcast live or later here, or dive in and let us know what you think by calling (646) 721-9429.

As we’re approaching Thanksgiving, we’re finding it hard to shake the feeling that the year is disappearing faster than we can come to a consensus about what we’ll be calling next year.

Even November is more than halfway through – the midpoint being marked by BarCamp Memphis. Even mid-November is bookended by tomorrow’s Core Conversation call-in podcast, wherein we’ll be hosting a BarCamp Memphis – oriented Feedback Friday. We’d love for the next BarCamp to be even better – and we need your help to make that happen.

It seems that Bebo, the social network popular in the UK, is improving themselves, too, by including a button to report abuse – not for spam, but for trolls and bullies.

Facebook is similarly trying to improve themselves, but with some tweaks to the options available to advertisers – but in a way that may ruffle a few feathers.

Our feelings about Twitter’s new built-in retweeting function are similarly mixed.

Mpact Memphis, however, is unassailably positive. No qualms here about saying that we like them. That’s why they’re our Memphis Tweeter of the Week.

We sat down with The Germantown Performing Arts Centre‘s Carrie Corbett and Tania Castroverde Moskalenko to talk with them about their social efforts, and how they use Facebook in the everyday life of the organization.

We’ll talk to you on Friday!

What have you heard said that is absolutely true about social media that fell flat just six months later? Or what mistakes have you seen made through social media that have ended up being a user’s “last social words?”
