Thanks for coming out to Twilight Camp last night! While we usually gravitate towards the news of the week and latest apps, last night’s discussion revolved primarily around an idea called Collaborative Consumption. If you’ve ever couchsurfed, you know the idea. And that idea is this: “Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in swapping, sharing, [...] [...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]
Can using your cell phone on an airplane cause the controls to malfunction? Apparently not. But since take-off and landing are the most likely times for some kind of problem, the airlines probably ask you to “turn off all electronics” so you aren’t distracted in the case of an emergency. Or perhaps, as Andy Glover [...] [...more]
It’s our yearly Show and Tell Breakfast! Every once in a while, we like to open up the floor to our Expeditioners to wax eloquent on any social subject that strikes their fancy!

And one of their ranks just won an [...] [...more]
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 [...] [...more]
The Social Expedition podcast kicks off with an issue brought to our attention by one of our expeditioners/ expeditionaries (which do you prefer?), Aaron Prather.*** He heard that debt collectors were using social media to track down debtors and research their available assets, which brings up some complex legal issues. On the heels of all [...] [...more]
Can you believe it’s already the second half of 2010? Yes? Well, alright. Today in our weekly social media expedition, we discover Social Media Day. This holiday, apparently backed by Mashable.com, went unobserved in Memphis, but maybe we’ll catch the next one. Honestly, we didn’t even hear about it until a few days ago. Then, [...] [...more]
