….. As some of you know, our Media Mentoring Societies are meant to be “Locally Grown” yet to have a Global Twist; last night’s proceedings at Downtown at the Gardens proved precisely that, as we had a Facebook acquaintance/friend follow us from Madrid… here’s the exchange:
“Francisco Jose Palacio Junior [TWEETED FROM @USTREAM BROADCAST MONITOR/CONTROL PANEL]
“Live from @DowntownGardens: A whole CROWD came tonight! Thanks @PBPost (Broadcasting live at http://ustre.am/bngA)

[A FRIEND IN MADRID WATCHED – AND COMMENTED!]
@MMSocieties: 2010 01 19 Session: Part One: Overview and Topic Choosing
“Add me to the 4 viewers!
BTW, still waiting on a good explanation about the difference between twitter and facebook đ
Maybe due to my lack of attention when I watched this (from office)
Nice job by the way, I enjoyed it :)”
[SO I COMMENTED BACK]
“Whoa!… YOU were watching US? From Madrid!???
[JAW DROPS!]
Really? COOOL!!!!… See More
[DONS TWEED JACKET – WITH ELBOW PATCHES – AND CORDUROYS… PROFESSORIAL LOOK!]
Did you refer to the slides, BTW?
[CLEARS THROAT]
They’re an INTEGRAL part of what we do… ’em slides allow one to dig deeper into the subject…
Which ones?
[GRINS]
The ones on Meetup.Com!
Go ahead! RSVP and make US go Global!
Seriously… we post EVERYTHING there first… UStream is meant to keep us ‘live’ on the web, but there’s also a cleaner (meaning, on a tripod!) video I shoot that gets loaded to Vimeo; usually also a podcast (yeah, we have been remiss, but you may load the Vimeo vids to your iPod/iPhone, right?)
… once you’ve dug through those, we talk!
(we’ve done FOUR sessions so far, covering different aspects of this Brobdingnagian Pachiderm we dare call “Social Media” … IMHO? I prefer Web 2.0 or 2.9, as in the end, it’s just the evolution of the same old tools… right?)
Anyways, U JUST MADE MY DAY, AMIGO!!! GRACIAS!!!
Paco
P.S:
Also, peek at our new e-Newsletter for more… add yourself to the mailing list and/or shoot me an email so I can send you the future ones (we hope to have enough content for a Weekly)

Saludos!”
… Which in the end, proves the adage “Act Locally, Think Globally” that’s somehow embedded into many of the interactions we conduct on these ‘Social Media’ forums; as mentioned on the video, sometimes it’s more a matter of the QUALITY of the interactions, the fact that people actually care to look at your content, than the actual AMOUNT of people listed on one’s statistics….
Which videos, you may ask? these!
