Dec. 11, #FollowFriday

I met some really incredible people this week at the WebGrrls and Social Media Club of NYC’s holiday parties. People I had great conversations with – talking about everything from Twitter to zombies and the state of the legacy media today. I started doing a combined #FF post, but realized I met so many cool people at SMC that this post is SMC-centric. I’ll drop in some WebGrrls...

I’ve actually done #FollowFriday posts on my pinko commie hippie friends before, but there are a couple I was holding off on because they had a big new project forthcoming and I wanted to have the chance to suggest a FollowFriday for that, as well.

So call this my IRL Follow Friday edition. @MsLaurenRae: I met Lauren waaaaay back this summer at the 140C...

As someone tweeted during the conference, it was nice to be around a group of journalists (old-school and new) who wanted to find solutions rather than just pointing fingers and complaining about everything.

This week’s post is a continuation of last week’s #FollowFriday post, as I only touched the surface on the friends, new and old, whom I met in person for the first time at Blog World Expo in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Last week I concentrated on people I’ve known the longest but never met (with one exception). This week will be a mix of people I’ve known for a little...
