Creating Community

Yesterday, he threw down the gauntlet, and today I’m smacking him with it.  The challenge from a close business associate is to not discuss, blog, or communicate about social media for 7 days.  So, here I am at Day 1.  We’ll see how this week goes…

The idea got me thinking, though, after all the goal of social media and all online marketing is to create engagement, a loyal following, a community if you will.  So, this morning I officially organized the Inaugural AC3  (Ambitious Chicks Cocktail Club) here in Dallas and we’re meeting IN PERSON (not on Foursquare, Twitter, in a Facebook Fan Page, LinkedIn group, etc.) in the next three weeks.  (Hey, we’re all busy, popular ladies… it’s the soonest everyone was available!) to network, share, connect and create our own community of, well… Ambitious Chicks.  Check back here for the results of the, ahem… Meeting.

    Wendy, I like the idea and plan to attend, but I’m sure I’ll check in on FourSquare, Tweet about it and post to my FB! :) And, surely after the event you’ll write a blog post and share a Flickr stream of photos that you’ll share via Evite. There is no-escaping Social Media!

      I know I will, too. Especially since the “meeting” is on the 17th… long after this challenge is over! ;-) The challenge here is to just not talk or blog about social media ON social media outlets for a week. Here’s to Day 2!!
