SMC 3 – Still going strong in Cheltenham!

Last Friday we held our 3^rd Social Media Café event at Pepper Crescent in Cheltenham, meeting old and new Twitter and Facebook friends!

It was an extra special café – we kicked off early at 5.30 with Jonathan Pollinger’s #4squaretaster: a half hour introduction to the benefits of using Foursquare for business. This was partly interjected by Andy Thorne who told us a bit about the forthcoming wonder of #foursquarestival. (You can follow the chat about it using the hash tag on Twitter!)

From 6pm the café started in earnest with the usual mix of cake, cider, geeks and banter! Hot topics of the night were (predictably) foursquare and the foursquarestival but I also recall talking about offline web 2.0 (or was that 3.0?) and horse racing (not with Jonathan!). I also managed a brief gossip about a certain Twitter fight – naughty but fun!

Following the evening Betti Moser got in touch to ask about Twitter IDs so she could find the people she met at the café. I remembered many months ago before the project started, I merrily planned to write a review of each café event complete with a list of attendees. Sadly, like a duh-brain I never got around to doing this. I added a few names to the previous post about SMC 3 and since then Andy Thorne has given us an awesome write up and a few more names have popped up in the comments thanks to Jonathan.

If anyone didn’t make it to either list feel free to say ‘hi’ in the comments and/or seek out Betti on Twitter if you’d like to stay in touch.

PS. You can also find other café friends on Twitter! Why not say ‘hello’- that’s what we’re here for!
