The Birmingham Bloggers Group will be hosting their third free social media surgery for voluntary and community groups next Wednesday, January 28th at BVSC 138 Digbeth, B5 6DR, (map). You can drop in anytime between 5.30pm to 7.00pm. Volunteers will be on hand to offer free advice to anyone who is curious to how tools like blogs, podcasts, video and social networks could help to their organisation, community group or charity. The surgery will be: No boring speeches or jargon just hot drink and some friendly advice.
I have a particular interest in how small organisations can use all this ‘internet stuff” to promote themselves so I will be going along for the first time to offer up my bit of knowledge and heaps of enthusiasm to anyone who needs it.
That woman in the centre of the photo looks absolutely petrified.
First of all, congratulations on the Best UK Blog Award. I voted for Melanie Phillips, but I’m happy for you. Winning the Best UK Blog Award makes you one of my regular reads for at least the next year.
While I grew up in the US, I spent a year in Birmingham in 1965, where I attended Hallfield School. So I have a place in my heart for Birmingham.
I hope CiB will link up its blog posts and Twitter updates. There are a lot of clever and nice people on Twitter who have some good ideas as to how to use social media.
