On Wednesday, the Social Media Club Madison chapter held their first kickoff meet at the Brocach by the Capitol. About 125 were in attendance as the board of directors was introduced. We met one another and learned a lot about how everyone can work together.
The sponsors of the event created gift bags for the registered guests. Each table had products and a sign that said either Facebook, Flickr, Twitter or YouTube. You had to sit at each station and write out how you would promote the products on your given Social Network site. However, with the larger turnout, it was more difficult to move around, therefore I am not sure if they got the response they expected for that social game.
I went through the crowd and talked to a lot of Social Media and PR people. I ran into a few of the Web608 group who were also mingling. An interesting conversation about Twitter and their business model between myself, Nick and Brandyn. I also showed part of the board the iPhone application “bump” – to share contact information. The video will be forthcoming.
The Social Media Club started by Chris Heuer and Kristie Wells. The first chapter was launched on August 16, 2006 to bring all artists, creators, journalists, students, public relations and more together. The initial membership is free – with business and group memberships available.
In this video, we meet the Board of Directors for the Madison WI chapter of the Social Media Club. I took some backchannel on the event.

Last week when Google Buzz came out, all the Social Mediates jumped on board like the last boat of the day starting to leave the dock. Instantly, we saw everyone posting “I am Buzzing”, and others rebuilding their Social Media lists. The big names pretty much dominated the Buzz. But it did become an opportunity for a new name or two to get in there. And – as far as I know – Ashton Kutcher is not on Buzz.. Yet.
Two big questions people had about Buzz in the first week – Is Buzz like which Social Media Micro Blogging device, and which one is Buzz going to replace? In this video, we look at Google Buzz, Friend Feed, Twitter and Facebook. Jeffrey talks about what Buzz is close to and gives answers to these two questions.
What do you think? Will Buzz replace Facebook? Friend Feed? Twitter?

Last year when Todd talked to John about Spot, we learned that GPS tracking can be vital for those who go off the beaten path. The device has been used in over 500 rescues. This year, they are back with the new SPOT GPS Messanger.
Scott talks with Derek about this new version of the GPS tracker. The device sends a geolocation message to check in. If you are in trouble, the device will send an SOS. It will also send an automated tracking mode that can update Googlemaps on a 10 min interval. Real-time data can be sent to friends and family, or to a social network like Facebook or Twitter.
The service is $100 per year, and utilizes the SPOT Satellite Network .

No Comments »We saw a lot of media players. But one of the more impressive ones was Nuu Media’s Nuu Player. A full content system companion for your TV. And the best thing is it does more than the average set top box.
Online media – Web Application – Video Call
We will start with Online media. A 160 GB internal hard drive, and it can stream the same media as the others (Pandora, YouTube, CNN, Blip, MLB.tv, Flickr, Comedy Central, etc). With a USB port on the side, SD card ready and multiple audio and video jacks, Nuu Media player can accept what you throw at it. But there was one item that really sets itself apart from Boxee, Roku, Apple TV, Vudu and others.
Built in Bluetooth.
This player showed it’s difference with the attached WebKit based browser. You can use Facebook, Twitter and others with the special interface. Connect a USB webcam and USB microphone, you might be able to create content and even Skype out – Making this the perfect conference phone for any boardroom.
Todd Cochrane talks to Danny of Nuu for this most innovative TV appliance. The Nuu player will be available by Q2 for around $300. It definitely is the closest to a PC without it being a PC.

No Comments »The BBC reports that a phishing scam involving torrents has been uncovered. Their headline implies that it targets Twitter.
It doesn’t, not specifically. Twitter seems to have been responsible for revealing it.
The way it worked was really quite clever.
After “doing some digging” the firm (Twitter) found a network of compromised torrent sites that had been set up with the sole aim of stealing logon information.
“It appears that for a number of years, a person has been creating torrent sites that require a login and password as well as creating forums set up for torrent site usage and then selling these purportedly well-crafted sites and forums to other people innocently looking to start a download site of their very own,” said the firm.
The sites also contained security exploits allowing the person to steal usernames and passwords.
After a while, the malware would phone home with the list of usernames and passwords. The plan relied on the tendency of persons to use the same password for multiple sites; the phisher would then try the torrent passwords on other sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Internet radio has been around for years. Lately, you can get devices that play Internet radio. You can set up a wired connection in your living room, or a wireless solution out on the Patio.
Todd Cochrane talks with Vicki on PURE – a series of products in the Internet radio line. The Sensia is a great portal to more than just radio. Check your Facebook, or simple internet functionality. It will be available by April for $349.
What sparks our interest is the Podcast section. Vicki informs us that in their special portal they monitor Podcasts and removes those that are no longer working.

No Comments »2009 – You can be #2, but not be doing all that great. This was the case for Circuit City. A failed buyout opportunity from Blockbuster and they were at the same point as CompUSA a couple years prior. Therefore, officials announced they will be closing the remaining stores and selling all assets.
Ironically enough, Circuit City’s website assets were acquired by SystemMax – the same company that holds Comp USA’s web assets.

The CES Show is over and I was beat. Trip home was not that great. Videos are coming up, twice daily. Thanks to the crew and check out the awesome 2 day coverage at the NBC Universal stage. Our good friends let us borrow the stage to create that show. I give you my take on 3-D Technology. It did bring out the PR agencies. AT&T and iPhone was a Major Fail, too.
The Home page will be changing a bit. Also, thanks to Robb for noticing a problem on the page.
