Hey, Dave, Can You Notice The Difference
Hey, Fellow #NWITweetup Director,
Take a look at this post and see if you can note the changes in the following:
- Taxonomy
- Engagement
- And, wait, are those Google +1 Buttons?
Also, check the plugins. I deactivated a few, consolidating them into the Yoast SEO Plugin per Douglas Karr‘s infinite wisdom. There’s a related post plugin I need to add but, other than that, this thing is ready to rock with phase two.
- Finn
PS – Make sure you put the Metadata in the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin. Once you look it over, I’ll write a bigger post about why I made the changes I did. You know, the thoughtleadershippy thing we said we’d all do back in Spring of 2010.

Help the First Couple of #NWITWeetup Win Dunhill’s Tuxedo Facebook Contest
We’ll be starting back up with #NWITweetups again in the fall of 2011, but before then we thought we’d lend our hand to a sweet, nice young couple who met during one of our #NWITweetups. Let’s see if we can get them some help to cut down on their expenses.
Here’s a note from the soon-to-be groom:
Hey all. Two of our NWITweetup regulars are getting hitched next summer. Mary Nolan (@grammarpanda) and Justin Roseberry (@TV_MA) have entered a Dunhill Tuxedo Facebook photo contest in an attempt to win free tuxedos for their wedding. Please show your support and help them by liking their photo on Dunhill Tuxedo’s Facebook photo gallery.
To assist you must first like Dunhill Tuxedo’s Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/dunhilltux and then proceed to like their photo here: http://is.gd/xRYgBw.
The contest ends August 20th 2011 and they will need to beat over 320 likes before then. Your support is appreciated so much so that if they do win Justin has volunteered to take a pie in the face for the entertainment of you all at a NWITweetup event.
Any support you can give them would be greatly appreciated. And before you think you might be getting a lot of Dunhill spam on your wall, you really won’t. And if you don’t want to get their updates, you can simply block them.
And, of course, if you have your own worthwhile cause you want help on, just contact us at this website and we’ll help out!
Let’s get them free tuxes. I don’t want to get cut by The Panda (she has a couple katanas, but she really doesn’t use them much. It’s an inside joke the creative team a Livemercial used to use. She really is sweet. Come to the next NWITweetup and meet her!)
Social Media Day 2011 – Old Chicago (Night Event Only)
First, the Sad News
We talked it over and we decided that we wanted to do the lunch thing, well, right. We didn’t want it to be haphazard. We want people to get the most bang for their buck so for now, we’ll be postponing the celebration until the end of September. That will give us time to get our heads together and do it up proper.
A Big, “Thank You,” Goes Out to Those Who Were Willing to Speak on Social Media Day.
When we set up the lunch in September, we’d love to have you come out and speak for us on that day!

Wanna Hang Out on Social Media Day, 2011?
So, typically speaking, June 30th is recognized as Social Media Day. All around the world people will be organizing meetups, tweetups & other 2.0 events in order to celebrate the success and splendor that is Social Media. Power users, casual users, business users and those who don’t like to admit they tweet all come together, put down their smart phones and hang out face-to-face.
Last year, we celebrated Social Media day at Pepe’s in Valpo. Read more »
