Coffee & cakes time again

In a bit of a rush this time, but felt we all needed another cup of coffee and possibly a cake (for Simon & Joe). So suggesting we meet up again in Costa Coffee, Park Place, next Tuesday – 15th November from 11:00 to 14:00 for a general chat over all things social media, including (as ever) changing the culture of the organisation, good practice, new tools, new gadgets and of course progress on existing programmes of work and initiatives – grant funded and unfunded, sponsored/initiated by the university/department or independent.

Come along and join the “regulars” – we had 11 at our meet-up last month. We all have a passion – “damn fine coffee” …

Enjoy

You wait for a bus, and then …

Yes it’s an all-action day in “Thought grazing Towers”. I’ve been meaning to poll for a day/time for our next socialmedia cafe event, but you know, the time never seemed just quite right, there was always something else that was “more pressing” {don’t laugh}.

Anyway, with Google+ in the wild (OK, under some kind of control in the wild) and with some other interesting developments:

  • What is visible.me, do you see a use case for it?
  • The emergence of Oxygen as a competitor for Dropbox in the enterprise.
  • Should we be pushing Posterous more as an easy-entry socialmedia tool?

… not to mention the feedback from, and follow-up to the Learning and Teaching Conference in May, we need to meet and chat over coffee don’t you think?

There’s a link to a meet-o-matic invite here. I’ll tweet it as well. When I see a good number of folk clustering around a given day/time I’ll re-tweet a revised meet-o-matic. Then I’ll update the side panel and tweet the event – so watch out for further updates. I’ve been thinking about using the cafe at Julian Hodge – what do others think? You might also note one option is late Friday afternoon, that would allow for an adjournment to a local hostelry for the dedicated.

I’ve not been asleep, just resting … it won’t be a roar, but it won’t be a whimper either!
