sosAssociates.com Blogiversary: Four!

2012 to 2016!!! Our fourth Blogiversary of celebrating the fun of exploring our community and writing about our experiences!

Like last year, I want to start by thanking my great co-writer and wife, Julie Smith! I always enjoy sharing the journey with her.

It brings me joy to look at the blog posts we did this past year -- great memories of fun times, plus the anticipation of a new year full of possibilities!

Here is our blogiversary photo collage, followed by a list of the 28 blog posts of this past year.

Past & Present

Hello, World! My First Blog Post!Four very fun and active years have passed since my first "Hello, World! My First Blog Post!" message!

The statement I put on the sosAssociates.com home page has not changed over these four years, nor has my @sos_jr twitter bio changed, since they still reflect the items that Julie and I write about:

sosAssociates.com is an extension of my @sos_jr Twitter interests -- taking it beyond the 140 characters. Current focus areas include:

  • Promoting and sharing experiences at Cleveland tech meetings, social media events, and some entrepreneur groups
  • WebSigCleveland.org
  • Website Design & Technology
  • Cleveland Cultural Events, Art, Theatre

On my first Blogiversary in 2013, I listed 120 tech, entrepreneur, and social media meetings in Cleveland and Akron that I tracked and promoted on Twitter and on sosAssociates.com. The list grew to 140 in 2014, and 165 last year.

The list is so large that I don't promote all the groups on this list. However, I still post daily @sos_jr meeting announcements of many of the groups over the lunch hour on Twitter at: Twitter.com/sos_jr -- please take a look and share with others by retweeting.

Call For Action

I believe this "Call For Action" is important. Thus, I am repeating here what I wrote last year. Please consider my action suggestions when you look at my list below. Thank you!

2016 marks my 11th year of running the WebSigCleveland.org meetings. Held on the third Saturday of most months, all WebSigCleveland.org meeting are free and open to all, so please help me spread the word by inviting others. I run my WebSigCleveland.org meetings as a labor of love, so like last year, I want to ask you to please do the following to support all the "Tech, Entrepreneur & Social Media Meetings" in Cleveland and Akron.

Call for action! The reason I publish the following list is to encourage you to thank the leaders and assist in promoting their meetings. Please do the following:

  • See the names listed with the events in my blog posts, and follow them on Twitter, if you do that sort of thing (I find Twitter fun, and a great way to learn about a lot of great activities). Please share their meeting information on your favorite social media.

  • Most of these Cleveland tech, social media, and entrepreneur meetings are free or low cost. Please go out of your way to thank the leader(s) and let them know you appreciate their good work. Offer to buy them their favorite beverage.

  • Finally, if you see a group listed that is not currently meeting, or think of a topic that is not being covered, please volunteer to take a leadership role to make the meeting happen!

Our Community is much stronger for having these opportunities to learn from each other. Thank you for supporting each other.

This list is not complete, and has a high probability of having errors -- perfection is not a worthwhile lifetime goal. Please use my list as a starting point for learning about all the great events happening in our community.

Once you find something of interest, please share it with others. I have learned that there are amazing things happening in our community, and I hope you help spread the word!

If there are bad links or incorrect information, please feel free to let me know via Twitter at @sos_jr or in the comments below. Of more importance, if you know of a tech or social media meeting in our community that I should add to my list, please leave a comment below, so all can share in your knowledge.

Thank you to all. I am looking forward to another year full of great possibilities!
