Royal Oak - Social media mavens start Social Media Club Detroit

metromode, 8/27/2009

Social media mavericks no longer have to go it alone in Metro Detroit now that the Social Media Club is setting up a Detroit chapter.

Social Media Club started in San Francisco three years ago and now has chapters around the world. The club allows both social media professionals and people who have a passing interest in the virtual phenomenon to gather, meet and talk face to face.

"It's anyone who is involved in the digital landscape," says David Murray, one of the Detroit chapter's organizers. "The Internet touches just about everyone in business."

The group held its first meeting last week in downtown Royal Oak and is planning another in September. About 35 people attended the first meeting and Murray, whose day job is as a director of web communications, expects that number to grow within the next year.

"I'd love to see this get up to 200-300 people," Murray says.
