Aug. 31, 2010, 7:26 p.m.@. Q2 I don’t see how this Brogan exposure is making waves anywhere other than some hyper-local social media marketing circles π #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:36 p.m.@Jon_Lewis no, we mean in metro Birmingham. I think @chrisbrogan would say that his talk wasn’t about social media… #bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:36 p.m.@. Q2a – Hit BHM w some information via other mass media outlets if possible. Its hard to filter out the best stuff from the web #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:40 p.m.@Jon_Lewis I think that’s part of the fun of the answer. Who needs to hear the message 1st. Residents? businesses? Visitors? #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:43 p.m.@liftmoving – tv stations too. If they don’t read or watch, do they really want to know? #Bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:43 p.m.Ack! Forgot the #bhamchat tag on last tweet -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:43 p.m.Q2a #bhamchat We need to remember that there are lots more out there who haven’t made these online connections. -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:44 p.m.I’d say start w/ the grass roots and build up. People can spread news to businesses which in turn will spread to visitors. #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:44 p.m.RT @liftmoving: @dgarvich I believe that the RR Park will give a reason to visit the metro area #bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:44 p.m.@Jon_Lewis In my opinion, SM is for a type of person that is of independent thought (at least in the Bham area)

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:47 p.m.@Jon_Lewis Which park? #bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:48 p.m.I also believe that the foundations are being laid for a strong community downtown. RR Park + 2nd Ave North and 20th N biz #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:50 p.m. -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:51 p.m.@thegeekwife Yes. THere has been significant talk of that. THey did it in Montgomery, and it has been very successful #Bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:52 p.m.@liftmoving don’t forget those things happening outside of downtown as well (Woodrow Hall, Ruffner, Red Mtn, etc). #bhamchat -

Aug. 31, 2010, 7:58 p.m.@Jon_Lewis The same reason I don’t go to BJCC at night, it isn’t safe. Don’t ask what happen the last time I went to BJCC at night #bhamchat -
Aug. 31, 2010, 7:59 p.m.@thegeekwife I work downtown (for 18 years), and I have gone downtown at night on numerous occasions – never a problem. #Bhamchat -
