Dan Ronken writes a great post about the meeting, Attraction Trumps Promotion – Having a Blast with Boston Media Makers.

This was the most fun I’ve had at a ‘networking’ (that’s not even the right word, felt more like a gathering of friends) meeting I’ve ever attended. Our ‘three minute’ introduction consisted not of sales pitches , but was more about sharing valuable information or asking for advice.

Members of the group were then sending ‘real time messages’ via Twitter to their extended networks which has an immediate effect of reaching an audience of potentially thousands of people in a matter of seconds. I already knew that blogging generates business, but this is real time communication I’m talking about here. I want to emphasis, this is NOT about sales pitches, it’s about connecting with, and helping people.

Boston Media Makers meet the 1st Sunday of each month at Doyle’s Cafe in Jamaica Plain, join us.

This month I brought in some twitter t-shirts and backpacks from the 140 Conference I went to in NYC and this Web Around webcam background. Looks cool in the photo.

Everyone put in business cards and we randomly gave the things away. People liked this idea, so next month, bring in your trade swag and products you want to give away and we’ll redistribute them and save the planet.

Introduction and Second Camera View of Roll Call:

Check out the twitter stream from the meeting.

At the meeting I showed the Eye-Fi Explore Video WiFi SD card using my Panasonic TS-1.

Disclosure: I am evaluating the Eye-Fi for my book, Get Seen. I won the camera at the Living in HD website. They are giving away 30 cameras this month. Enter to win.

The camera will send photos from the camera to Flickr when there is an open WiFi connection available. THe connection at hte time I took the photos was weak, so the photos did not get sent, but when I got home and turned on the camera, the photos I took at hte meeting were posted automatically to flickr.

Here they are:

Everyone had a great time at what Jeff Cutler called ‘Boston Media Makers at Night’. Jeff also interviewed people and asked them who their favorite America Idol contestant was.

Actually he asked everyone, “why are you here?”

Here’s his audi report, Boston Media Makers, Crowd Comments.

Watch the archived Ustream

Jeff interview lots of people. Stay tuned for the audio.

Boston Media Makers meets on the first Sunday of every month at Doyle’s in Jamaica Plain.

Many people can’t make it on a Sunday morning and have asked for an evening gathering.

Join us at Doyles for an informal get together with Boston Area Media Makers.

Mmm beer.

We had another great meeting with many more new attendees.

First up, mingling. Between 10 and 10:30 I encourage everyone to stand up and walk around and mingle with everyone. It’s a great time. This month I set up a computer with Skype and we mingled with Toronto Media Makers. It was fun.

I kicked off the meeting my having John Herman continue my explanation of why I started the group, then Len Edgerly continued, and onto Joe Cascio and continuing with Leslie Poston. I should have videoed it.

But I did video a roll call of everyone who was there. I streamed it live via Qik. Here’s the archive that was automatically sent over to YouTube.
