Social Media Week is a global conference platform that connects people, content and conversation around emerging trends in social and mobile media.

Social Media Week was held for the first time in February 2009 in New York City, and was launched as a distributed conference, with events taking place throughout the city with organizations such as the New York Times, Wired, Razorfish and Nielsen. Over 2,500 people attended over forty individual events, and thousands more participated online.

In February 2010, the organizers expanded the conference from one to six cities, reconvening in New York while adding London, Berlin, San Francisco, Toronto and São Paolo to the fold. This multi-city event attracted more than 7,500 attendees across 200 events, nearly all of which were made available for free to attendees thanks to sponsorship from a number of global brands, including Meebo and PepsiCo.

In addition to the physical events, Social Media Week organizers also streamed many of the events live and hosted real time conversations at socialmediaweek.org, reaching more than 100,000 unique visitors with millions of impressions generated throughout the social web.

In September 2010, Social Media Week expands to five new cities, including LA, Milan, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Bogotá.

This group is designed to help its members connect with likeminded professionals working at the intersection between media, communications and technology. « less

This was my 8th year attending the annual South by Southwest Interactive (aka SXSW or SXSWi) conference/festival and I have to say, it may be my last. It's not because I didn't enjoy myself, meet tons of great people and learn new things - all of which I did as I do every year.

Using Craigslist to recruit is a waste of your time.

If you've ever posted a job opening on Craigslist you know that it wastes more time than it saves. There's a better way and we can show ...

If you’re a Recruiter and have ever posted an ad on Craigslist you’ll know that, doing so, garners you a million emails from people who are ridiculously un-qualified. When I was a Recruiter for a video game company in Vancouver, I would post all over the place hoping to get 1 out of 50 applicants
