The Portland Society

We’re in our second month now and going strong. Our second meeting this morning was at the Seven Planet store in Old Town, where we enjoyed coffee and breakfast brought in by the team at Portland Pedal Power.

Anna Brones and Emily Nuchols, owners of Under Solen Media spoke to the group about social media basics, with a few advanced ninja tactics thrown in. (If you missed the meeting, you can take a look at their presentation and links to some of the sites they talked about here; the password is “portlandsociety.”

Our next three meeting dates in 2010 are August 25, October 6, and November 3. All are Wednesday mornings at 8am. More details coming soon.
