This morning’s breakfast was overwhelming, in the most awesome way, to say the least. Topics covered? Collaborative consumption, neuromarketing, and QR codes (we can’t get enough) – yes, all of them. Why go to SxSW when you can come to Social Expedition Breakfast?  These topics are climbing the hype curve, so we’ve got a recap [...] [...more]
Today’s breakfast had a great crowd, which was fantastic because we crowd-sourced our topic! To kick off the year, we decided to ask Expeditioners for their Predictions for 2011 in social media and technology. It seems many of the members are placing their bets on QR codes and mobile devices. Of course it’s all speculation, [...] [...more]
Whether we like it (or believe it) or not, February arrived this week and brought with it our second Expedition breakfast of 2010, featuring Dave Barger of LunaWeb speaking on social tools for the enterprise.

After our usual announcements (which, by the way, included SocialCamp), [...] [...more]
Let us start by assuring you that your last few months of summer warmth will not be boring ones. August and September hold plenty of good, clean geekery for everyone.
Tomorrow, we're looking forward to the TwilightCamp for August at Bronte Bistro inside of Davis Kidd. The main topic of conversation is going to be the upcoming SocialCamp on September 19.

We opted to hold this month’s Social Media Expedition Breakfast in a smaller room than normal – the lounge at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn – which turned out to be a great idea.

You may be wondering when Web 3.0 will come around. You’re not alone. We’ve been wondering, too. Which is why [...] [...more]
