Social Media Club Atlanta - Online Identity and Buzzword Bingo


While most of Atlanta was watching Florida play Oklahoma in the BCS Championship Game last night, 30 social media stalwarts attended the January meeting of the Social Media Club Atlanta at Manuel’s Tavern. So above the shouts and groans from fans sitting in the next room, we played Online Identity and Buzzword Bingo. Led by Amber Rhea, we discussed

- Is your online identity different from your real life identity?

- What does it mean to “manage your online identity?”

- Are there any off-limits topics on blogs? Who decides?

- Rethinking the personal/professional dichotomy and tearing down the walls of compartmentalization yea or nay?

Each time someone said a buzzword in his or her answer, we got to put down a bean over that buzzword. The Goal: The first person who had five buzzwords in a row would win.

Here were some social media buzzwords:

Hyperlocal
Whuffie
Social capital
Online reputation
Thought leader
Expert
Relationship building
Conversation
Integrity
Personal brand
Transparency
Credibility
Beta
Overshare
Authenticity
Peer influence mapping
Microblogging
Evangelist
Netroots
Viral
Crowdsourcing
User-generated
Long tail

The winner was a blogger known as JBrotherLove.

The winning string of buzzwords: Authenticity, Transparency, Personal brand, Conversation, Credibility

And yes, I got home in time to watch Florida beat Oklahoma, but my real concern is the Giants vs Eagles on Sunday.

Let me get back to you.
