We’re about to produce an official logo for the Social Media Breakfast series, and I’d like to ask for your comments and feedback on the two versions that Mykl Roventine has designed.

Version 1: fork and knife

Version 2: the rooster

The only difference between the two? Version 1 features a more traditional fork-and-knife motif, while Version 2 includes a rooster.

We’ll take comments through Wednesday, May 6.

Note: In a roundabout way, my initial blog post asking for help in choosing an SMB logo has led to this point. The comments on Mykl’s entry (the first of four displayed in that post) late last year convinced me to work with him as the designer, but to make some changes. It’s just taken me a while!

Social Media is booming in Memphis, and we proved it at the December Social Media Breakfast! 50 guests, ranging from social experts to brand-new beginners, came to this month’s breakfast at Owen Brennan’s on Poplar. Many of them were drawn by the breakfast’s recent mention in Memphis’ largest newspaper, the Commercial Appeal. This was the last breakfast of the year and it proved to be an incredible turnout. The Memphis Social Media Breakfast is hosted by Dave Barger of LunaWeb.

The morning kicked off “officially” with a home-run presentation. We were lucky to have Jason Orendorff from Mozilla as our guest speaker this month. He showed us some great Firefox features and some very useful social tools built into the browser. Jason also gave us insight into the intricacies of running a company like Mozilla using thousands of volunteers and a mere 150 paid employees.

After Jason’s presentation, we broke out into core groups to discuss topics that were chosen by the audience in traditional BarCamp style. Discussions included:
- Video
- Community ROI
- Social Media 101
- Best Practices
- The Broken Web
- Mobile

Several of the attendees left their groups with plans to meet again later in the month to continue their conversations.

We’re truly excited to watch our next project, the Social Media Expedition, evolve, and we foresee it bringing lot of positive growth to the Memphis business community and beyond. If you were unable to attend, you can look for information on the next breakfast at our meetup page. Make sure you’re there next month to join the Expedition!
