Yellowknifes Social Networking Grows, Plan a Event

By on April 29, 2009 in Social Media/Internet, Travels

Social Media and Networking in Yellowknife is slowly growing, whether it be on Twitter, Facebook or NWT Blogs. The momentum is there and we are heading on up the hill chanting “yes we can, yes we can”

With the online community of Yellowknife growing the events are close behind. The Yellowknife Bloggers from NWTBlogs have already held 3 meet ups. While a “yktweetup” may be in the near future. These events are a wonderful experience to put a face to the handles of the people you interact with on a daily bases.

While to those just coming for the party don’t find it a lot of work, it may be a different story for the host. Will people like it, is the place clean, is the food any good, etc. Therefore I have found a simple How-to Guide to throwing a Social Media Shin Dig: HOW TO: Plan and Promote Events With Social Media

Twitter a Yellowknife Tweetup with #yktweetup

By on April 23, 2009 in Social Media/Internet

The last couple days I have been annoying the wonderful twitter people of Yellowknife with this question. Which do you prefer for the hashtag (hashtag being #, and is used in front of key words for the Twitter Search) #yellowknifetweetup #yzftweetup or #yktweetup? After the first day it was clear no one wanted #yellowknifetweetup as it was to long. So I reasked the question with out that one. What I found got back was 5 for #yktweetup and 2 for #yzftweetup. So I am unofficially naming the hashtag used to refer to a Yellowknife Tweetup be #yktweetup. But just so where clear the # for Yellowknife is still #yzf and the tweetup # is #YKTweetup.

If you have no clue what a Tweetup is please watch this video and if you have no clue what twitter is Amy wrote THIS post explaining a little about what it is.

I hope to possibly set up a site where it will show the feed for #yktweetup so we all know when someone is planning or attending a Tweetup here in our little town.
