Hey there, Brian. Good to see that you’re throwing an impromptu SMB in San Francisco. I’m so pleased to see this breakfast series spreading around the country — and the world (Singapore will be holding an SMB on March 29).

I’ll set up you with an account on the SocialMediaBreakfast.com blog, too, so that you can post a recap of the event.

Hope it goes well!

I agree that it is pretty difficult to get the word out quickly about an event regarding something as broad as “Social Media”. In many cases, though, the whole “Make It Easy To Be Known” thing works impressively well. For example, in Phoenix, with a small geographical community of Twitter users, I have seen good sized groups show up to various “TweetUps”. That’s because the targets are all members and active users of the notification system.

Even if there was a system for managing meet-ups like this one, it would be yet another service for people to register for and keep track of.

How do people find out about things such as the social media breakfast?

I find it ironic that I tend to have a hard time getting clear reliable information about these events; you would think these would have the whole Make It Easy To Be Known thing down pat.
