San Diego is a Social Media hub, the twitter, blogger, and Social Media community is one of the best in the country. One of these reasons are for the wonderful Tweetups, Twineups, and social gatherings. Many of these social gatherings also support a local or national charity which makes them even better in my book!
Last year one of these great causes Twestival raised over $250,000 for clean drinking water with a combined effort of over 200 local Twestivals all over the world.

Today I enjoyed watching Gravity Summit live at Harvard from the comfort of my office thanks to CNN Live. Gravity Summit is a fantastic Social Media Conference featuring many great speakers. My partner in Square Martini Media and past speaker at the Gravity Summit held at UC Irvine Angie Swartz was able to attend Gravity Summit live. Fortunate for me I was able to watch the live feed via CNN! You have to love how great technology is today! Below is a great video that played live on CNN today featuring MC Hammer @MCHammer one of today’s speakers:

Are the Athletes you are following really who you think they are? Why are Athletes choosing to use Twitter all of a sudden anyway? We watched this video compliments of Joel Price of the Chargers and ESPN and thought it was worth sharing. Tune into Twitter Talk Radio at noon PT Wed August 18, 2009 (or subsequent podcast) to hear more about how Joel Price helps the San Diego Chargers give the biggest social media hug to their fans!

What do you get when you mix passionate, talented, savvy, and ambitious people together on one room (who BTW know how to throw a mean party!)? Well, you might just have yourself a San Diego Tweet-up!
The Twitter community has become something of a cultural phenomenon, and a group of us (@EGoddess @skovi @photosbyrowell @sdbargainmama @danAKAdan) thought it would be great to collaborate our efforts and showcase the San Diego Twitter community LIVE…showing the real substance behind the avatars and 140 characters…YOU, in the flesh –and-blood! The key and crucial element, however, is that we represent you how you best wish to be portrayed (within reason-lol)! This music video, featuring @danAKAdan ‘s band After School Special will star you “in your element”!

Well dead Twitter tweeps might be a bit negative… UnTweeps is a really simple Twitter Application that searches the people you are following to identify Twitter users who are inactive. You simply go to UnTweeps, log into your twitter account, and choose 7, 30, 60, or 90 days of inactivity. UnTweeps then searches the people you are following on Twitter and gives you a list of everyone matching. You can un-follow all with one click or go through the list and remove those you would like to keep.

There is no question that the social communications tool Twitter has hit a tipping point. In recent days, Oprah sent 
her first tweet, Ashton Kutcher became the king of Twitter and just about everyone has been talking about the implications of Twitter’s 140-character updates on traditional media.
As a PR professional, Twitter is a great resource for connecting, following and better understanding the interests of the media and other like-minded professionals. But the most fascinating observation or take away for me has been the amount of information that is shared across the board. Everyday is like walking into a classroom with a community of people who, for the most part, want to contribute and share informative links and pieces of information.

Over the past few days, Amazon.com has been suffering the publicity masses for an assumed mistake they made when removing certain “adult” titles from the books they offer for sale. Specifically, a computer error that caused thousands of books on Amazon.com to lose their sales rankings led to cries of censorship from some critics. Some have claimed that the books were specifically gay and lesbian titles causing a loud uproar of discrimination in those communities.
There are many great blog posts covering the details of the #amazonfail case so we won’t try to rewrite the facts. Instead, we’ve listed some of them below for your reading pleasure.

I was shown this video a few weeks ago and just now had a moment to post it! This is just one of those things you have to watch! If you have been using Twitter long you should enjoy it. Just a bit of Twitter fun!
