Social Media Week

Social Media Week will be celebrated at New York Public Library the week of February 7, 2011. Nice to see a big public library get involved like this. The talks they have up at the moment are Future Library: Socializing History with Maps and The Inner Workings: Staffing for Social Media. Both sound pretty darn interesting to me. Well done NYPL.

Social Media Week events are being held around the world (sadly, none in Australia). But I think it is interesting how this falls just a week after the ALIA Information Online conference.

There are some interesting looking talks around the world. 10 Ways to Suck at Social Media, Hosted by Chemistry is on in London, Sustainable Flashmob, Hosted by Foodspotting and Whole Foods Market in New York, and Empowering Women Through Social Media in Hong Kong all sound like they would be worth attending.
