What's in a name?
There's been a lot of praise for the WithJeff Calendar and our approach to crowdsourcing Boston events. What has also happened - and this was only last night - there was some confusion about the naming of certain events.
While we all sort-of know what a tweetup is. And we know that the Nog-up was my creation and the Social Media Breakfast began with Bryan Person and now has iterations all over the free world, there are some other events that might not be as well defined.
Take for instance, Social Media for Social Change; Social Media for Social Cause; Tweetsgiving; Social Media Club; social media group; etc.
In fact, the issue that jumped to my attention was the trio of Thanksgiving fundraising events right here in Boston that were all named Tweetsgiving! Really. Well, what we're going to start doing (akin to having more specific hashtags for tweetups) is adding host names to the titles in Eventbrite. Then, if someone does TechInno it won't be confused with WebInno or MassInno as long as the official label is TechInno by Warren G. Harding, or some such iteration.
Good plan? We'd like your comments and participation. If you've got events that need some exposure, leave a comment here and we'll add you to the contributor list.
Thanks and Have Fun Out There!
