Upcoming Events, Social Media, Jobs and More for 2/1/2012

Well that was probably the weirdest January since I’ve been out here in Michigan.

I’m still convinced we’re being lulled into a false sense of security though…I’m pretty sure we’re still going to be getting whomped with snow into May because of this mild weather…

Anyway, on to our usual updates.

We had a couple Don’t Be That Guy entries that went live, we’re still having conversations and getting some traction on our ideas for an IT conference, we’re two weeks away from our next metro Detroit casual networking event, and of course we have jobs being posted and chats taking place in our LinkedIn group

First stop, as always, is our next event.  Thursday, February 16th.  Rochester Mills in Rochester Hills.  5:01pm start time.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.  As always, details on all of our events can be found on our Events page out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/, or over on LinkedIn.com at http://linkd.in/soDfC9

Don’t Be That Guy – The Angry Birds Edition went live at http://www.ITinTheD.com/3017/dont-be-that-guy-the-angry-birds-edition/

We finally figured out how to explain why You Are Not A Social Media Expert, and so we did so at http://www.ITinTheD.com/3035/you-are-not-a-social-media-expert/

You can still chime in and give us input (and we’ve had a ton of great stuff come in thus far, thank you!) about an IT conference in Detroit here: http://www.ITinTheD.com/2969/poll-it-conference-in-detroit/

Which brings us back to our LinkedIn group and jobs, where there’s everything from freelance gigs to sys admin gigs to people hunting for developers through directors.  Go.
