A Social Media Battle!

We've held two social media battle tournaments, once in October 2010 and August 2011! These battles were extremely well received and we thought with all that's happening in the social media industry today, it's a good time to hear the different arguments for both sides.

The Social Media Battles was developed by @danzarella. Each battle will be composed of 2 people representing opposing viewpoints on a social media topic. They’ll each be given 2 minutes to make their case, and 1 minute rebuttals to their opponents, then the audience will decide the winner. Fast, simple and honest.

Battle topics -

Automated Tweets vs. Live Tweets
Dan Proczko (Auto) & Carl Brown (Live)

Facebook vs. Google Plus
Zachary McClung (Facebook) & ??? (Google Plus)

Content Curation vs. Content Creation
Ryan Goins (Creation) & Fritz Klug (Curation)

IRL vs URL > In Real life vs online
Eric Schmidt (IRL) & Mike Yoder (URL)

What is a Tweetup?

The Tweetup is when the digital turns into face-to-face, 140 characters into a meaningful conversation, a recognizable position on a blog into an ability to listen.

Where will it be?

The wonderful awesome Wine Loft in downtown Kalamazoo. It's hooked up with Wi-Fi so you can bring your laptops if you would like and there's A/V so we'll do a live stream of tweets with the hashtag #tweetupkzoo. The private loft has been reserved.

If you have any other questions, tweet or DM @tweetupkzoo or founder @SarahLWLee.
