Radio Interview

I just appeared on Everything Internet Radio and had a great time discussion strategy, marketing, content creation and more. If you're looking for smart people to follow and a cool show to put into your headphones, these guys are fun and valuable.

Their shows are also archived as a podcast. Find out more at their site - linked above.

Digital Media 3.0

I'm headed to Cambridge tonight to hear Larry Weber and a panel of luminaries speak on the future of branding and digital media. From the eventbrite description...

Expert Panel: Larry Weber, Harvard, CBS & Hill HollidayThe media world is changing rapidly and it's becoming harder to stay relevant and tuned in. Digital Media 3.0 is an event that will help you understand all of the latest technologies and how to leverage them to grow your brand. If you want to know what the future of media is going to look like and how to prepare for it now, you can't miss this event! Our panel is composed of some of the most well-known and respected media and marketing professionals in the area. On the panel, we have Larry Weber (Digital Influence Group), Perry Hewitt (Harvard), Mike Proulx (Hill Holliday), and Stephanie Miller (Formerly at CBS). The panelists will share cutting edge advice, the latest case studies and examples, and you will be able to ask them questions at the end.

You can find out more in the calendar or just go straight to the link here.


The event is sold out, but you can follow along on Twitter as folks (including me) will be tweeting it at #branducambridge. Would love some feedback and questions you'd like to ask the panel.

Updated Calendar!

Now that it's Summer, the calendar is jammed with stuff to do in and around Boston. If you'd like an internship updating the calendar and learning social media, leave me a comment or Tweet at me @jeffcutler. I'm not sure I can pay much, but you'll eat for free and I have some cool gadgets I could give you in exchange for your hard work.

Along those same lines, have you noticed that many of the events that used to be free are now charging for attendance. Sox Tweetups and Pub Crawls (when did you have to pay someone for the ability to pay someone for booze?)

But the shakeup in social is coming. Get on the train and learn the specifics now before nobody will pay the gurus any longer.

How Far is the Cape?

The perspective people have over distance has puzzled me for years. A friend in the northern suburbs of Chicago would often have no issue going to the supermarket 45 minutes from her house or driving hours just to meet up with friends in another midwestern state.

Conversely, if those of us in Boston are presented with the 'challenge' of going to Somerville, Hingham, Dedham or even Portsmouth, we balk more violently than a child at vaccination time.

That being said, I wanted to share with you some photos of a quick adventure Gretchen and I took yesterday. We went ALL THE WAY to the Cape. Yesirreebob. And whilst on this peninsula (or is it an island as it is broken off by a waterway), we traveled to the very tip - Provincetown.

Enjoy the photos of our adventure. And next time somebody says "come to a tweetup in Quincy," think about how much of a hardship that 19-minute drive will be from your cushy, oddly provincial studio in the city.

Calendars Calendars Calendars

Let me ask you this... Where do you get your social media event info? If it's not here, or if you use a collection of calendars to get your info, would you prefer to have one point of contact?

Well, I'm not sure that's going to happen. Even I need to go to other calendars regularly to find out what's going on in Boston. From Tweetups to networking to business events, I scour the Internet and even the calendars other folks keep so that I can be sure not to miss an event.

I regularly find listings on Boston Tweetup, from Kristen Haley and from the MiTX events board. I even look at Meetup, Upcoming, Eventbrite and Mashable to see what's on tap for the next few weeks.

Ultimately, the real responsibility for remaining informed about events falls on you. Check back here regularly to see what things I've listed. But then poke around the Web to see what else is happening in town. I might not list a lot of vegetable rallies because I think veggies are the Devil's Legos. You might love them.

And while I might overlook an event from time to time, I urge you to call me out on Twitter or here in the comments so I can make the calendar accurate and comprehensive. I think everyone who keeps a calendar in Boston feels that way - we're one big happy family.

So, I welcome your comments and updates.

Thanks!
