My day yesterday.
Yep, you heard right. Let me start you all off at 8:45am on 1/6/10.
So I was all dressed and heading out the door. Laptop…..CHECK, camera…..CHECK, notebook…..CHECK. All ready to my first meeting of the day. My first meeting where I was under the impression that I was going to see where I could fit in with helping out in the Social Media aspect of business. That was in fact the impression I got when I spoke with the person on the phone the week before.
So I drive into Tampa, park and walk a few blocks IN THE COLD to meet up with these two individuals. Long story short…I wasted a lot of time putting together a strategy to propose to them and instead was proposed to. I wont get into exactly who or what, but I felt deceived and that feeling isn’t good. My time could have been spent working, blogging, Twittering or simply just not there.
So I left there and while in the parking lot just fell… No reason for it. I know how to walk, my shoes aren’t too high. It just happened.The signature reads:
The purpose of this event is to showcase to networkers the diversity of Networking Organizations and Chambers of Commerce in the Tampa Bay area; and for these organizations to increase membership. 15 Expo Tables are also available for Businesses at $100 each, which includes two admission tickets. Five experts will present on achieving networking success. Expected attendance: 300+.

For 2010 one of my New Years resolutions is to seek out AWESOME individuals rocking it in Social Media. I am not talking Ashton Kutcher-like rocking, I am talking about those individuals (maybe even you) that are positively using Social Media for business or personal reasons.
Who am I to judge this anyways, right? Well I didn’t write a book on “How To…..Social Media”, but I have been rockin’ it for 3 years and I know I can spot a good seed when one crosses my path.
So once a week starting January1st I am going to choose someone who in my eyes is using Social Media to brand whatever it is in a positive, social and un-spammy kind of way. I will write a blog post on them (after they have been notified and consent) and link to them all over the blog post for that week. The blog will be archived for years to come (unless the Internet Monsters eat my content).
You may not ever see these individuals featured on CNN for what they do, but this is my way of saying “I see you and YOU ROCK!”
I am pumped for 2010, are you?
If you would like to suggest someone who YOU think is rockin’ it. you can shoot me a DM on Twitter or send me an email at rockinsocialmedia@gmail.com
I would LOVE to know who you think is a rockstar!
