Third Thursday this month has come a bit earlier than I expected (15th), but that means it’s time for us all to meet down at Paparazzi for some grub and a natter. Yes, it’s Social Media Club lunch this Thursday!

For those who have never been, it’s an opportunity to catch up with your online friends and socialise in a casual environment. We usually end up chatting about all things social media related, from new social networking sites, to the perennial gadget debates; from best practices in social media for wok purposes, all the way interesting links we’ve come across recently.

It’s an open event that anyone can attend. Just pop down to Paparazzi in Douglas at 12:30 and come find us sitting in the corner. I’ll be a bit late this month, but @ProgramX has kindly agreed to meet and greet. Hope to see you all there!

It’s time for Social Media Club, a casual forum for Social Media enthusiasts to get together for a quick bite. It’s a great opportunity to meet people you know online, have a chat about the latest tech and find out how others are using social media in their personal and work lives.

So come and join us at Paparazzi on Thursday 18th August at 12:30 for a spot of lunch. It’s an open invitation and anyone is free to join us. Whether you’re a social media expert, or wondering what these new developments are all about; come and grab a bite to eat with us. You’ll be in great company!

It’s Third Thursday this week and as every month, we’re meeting up for lunch. Yes, it’s Social Media Club, a gathering of people interested in Twitter, Facebook, Blogging and whatever new social networks are getting on the scene. Some of us use Social Media in their work life, some in the personal life, but we all share a passion for the medium and have met and made friends with others online. Social Media Club lunch is an opportunity to meet up with people you’re met online, a place you can come and share ideas and find new things to learn.

So come and join us at Paparazzi on Thursday 19th May at 12:30. It’s an open event, anyone can come along and feel free to bring a friend too. The great thing about Paparazzi is that they can accommodate any number of people who come. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone; we’re a friendly bunch.

Third Thursday is upon us, and as you may already know, Third Thursday is Social Media Thursday. And this month Thursday is going to be even more fun than ever. Here are the reasons why:

• Social Media Club lunch is on. It’s an informal lunch for people interested in Social Media. You may use it for work, for personal reasons or to promote your hobby, but if you’re interested in how to use Social Media, and are looking to network with your online friends and acquaintances, come and join us for lunch at Paprazzi at 12:30. Anyone can come, and bring your friends along
• We have a local celebrity visiting us for lunch. Famous tweeter @zoegillings (I believe she’s also known for her snowboarding prowess) is coming to lunch! We don’t have anything formal organised, it’s just a friendly chat over lunch, but it’s a great opportunity to meet her and hear all about what she’s up to.
• And if lunch isn’t enough for you, local podcaster and social media whiz Derek Richardson is the CMI’s speaker in the evening. They’re holding an event titled: Social Media – Captivating the Digital Domain and it’s open to anyone to attend.

There you have is, Social Media Thursday in a nutshell. So, who’s for lunch? See you at Paparazzi on Thursday 21st April at 12:30!

It’s that time of the month again – Third Thursday is upon us and we’ve established a tradition for people interested in Social Media to have a real life meet-up at Paparazzi to catch up off line. It’s an open event for anyone interested in Facebook, Twitter, Quora and the multitude of social networks out there. You may use these at work, in your personal life or may just be curious about what they are and how they may affect you. If any of these apply to you, feel free to come and join us!

High on the agenda this month will be the final preparations for Twestival, a fund-raiser we’re holding next week to raise money for Wish Upon a Dream. But there will be other topics that may arise in the discussion. Whether you found out about the crisis in Japan on traditional media or over a social channel for example. Or whether you’ve managed to make it into Sherrilynne’s Top Tweeters. Or even how you could use Social Media to improve your network. There are bound to be lots of topics on the table.

So, if you’re a regular you know the details. But if you’ve never joined us, feel free to come along and meet some of the people you know online in real life. If you’re not into Twitter, Facebook or blogging, come along and learn all about it. The venue is Paparazzi in Douglas, we’ll be heading down at 12:30 for a bite and a chat!
