In my humble opinion, there are two, too many social media clubs in Kansas City. Nevertheless, a SMCJoCo chapter recently sprang up with approval from the national chapter and it's not making the current SMCKC chapter very happy.
A RATHER AWESOME TKC TIPSTER directs us toward The Life Story Of Mark blog which explains the whole hot mess in great detail: "Does Kansas City area need another Social Media Club?"
Given that it kinda seems like both of these clubs are excuses for marketing people to leave the office . . . I don't really care.
Still . . .
TKC IS DECLARING A KANSAS CITY GEEK WAR!!!
Sadly, in this contest there are no winners given that ad people looking to cash in on local social media haven't had very much luck thus far.
NERDS!
ReplyDeleteJoco is a vastly different place than the few crumbs you guys are scuttling for.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a vastly better world to live in if Tony Botello decided to handle his emotional problems more responsibly and set himself on fire.
True dat.
ReplyDeleteno more clubs. I'll just ignore your facebook request.
ReplyDeletewhat a bunch of turds.
ReplyDeleteadults fighting like little kids over something as imbecilic as that.
Losers.
That's like calling the kettle black Tony.
ReplyDeleteHmm so which one of those girls represent JoCo? :OP
ReplyDeleteIsn't 'social media club' a redundancy?
ReplyDeleteI was looking for more meaty post and was kind of disappointed, dude. FYI, the link to VanBaale's article is broken - or has been removed.
ReplyDeleteMy Take: Two clubs - not such a bad idea. And I'm not aware that anyone is calling this a "war." But then, I'm often in the dark about petty things like that.
People live all over this sprawling metro area. If you can't always make it to one gathering but can make it to another, that's a good thing. For everyone. And for anyone who doesn't "get" the fact that social media is about people, being social, online and IRL, they can, as Chelsea Handler so aptly puts it "suck it."
My Suggestion: If the only comment someone is capable of leaving immediately identifies them as an asshat engaging in doucebaggery, they would be better off refraining from commenting. Secondly, get some balls and own up to your comments, asshats.
Lovely to see you.
