USA for UNHCR #BlueKey Tweetup
USA for UNHCR is hosting their second annual #BlueKey tweetup at Ceiba Restaurant to benefit Refugees worldwide. The Blue Key campaign’s goal is to get a minimum of 6,000 people in the US to order their own Blue Keys by December 31, 2011. You can help them reach this goal and show your support by attending the tweetup and helping to spread awareness. The BlueKey symbol was selected to depict the idea of the safe and secure home that the UN Refugee Agency strives to achieve for the 43.7 million refugees that find themselves displaced from their homes due to war, conflict, or prosecution.
Nordstrom to Host their First Fashion Tweetup
Nordstrom’s has partnered with luxury blog fashion + class & jet lag and mens/womenswear designer George Zaharoff for their first ever in-store Tweetup at select locations. “This is the future of marketing – social media. And doing this innovative collaboration with George and Nordstrom is going to be exciting. The best part will be meeting everyone and also tweeting with them” says Editor of fashion + class & jet lag, Giuseppe Longo.
DC Twestival Rocked Shadow Room (and Twitter) Last Night!

DC Social Media Happy Hour, It’s a Wrap!
Last night, over 150 local social media enthusiasts gathered at Public Bar for the first DC Social Media Happy Hour – or rather the first one spun off from the new Facebook Group. When Facebook launched the new Groups feature I first joined the DC Tech group, formed by Justin Thorp. Seeing the potential to connect on a more personal level than Twitter offered I created the DC Social Media Facebook Group to collaborate with other industry professionals.

USA Today, Host to Mashable’s US Summer Tour – DC
Today I had the honor of an inside peak of the USA Today headquarters, located in McLean, Virginia. My well-informed and wonderfully obliging tour guides were Brian Dresher, Manager, Social Media & Digital Partnerships and Jodi Gersh, Social Media and Content Manager for parent company, Gannett, Inc. My first time inside a media powerhouse I was blown away by many things – the gorgeous facilities including pond-side dining and a full-scale gym and salon, lines and lines of decked out cubicles (serious flare, serious!) and collaborative areas that breathe creative thinking.
