Last night, I was at the Bryght offices in Gastown for the inaugural meeting of the Social Media Club (Vancouver edition).

Great crowd, great conversation and an agreement to meet again soon. Chris Heuer made the trip up from San Francisco to evangelize the idea, and I got the feeling that most of us felt it was the kind of club we’d like to belong to. I for one am ready for a bit of infrastructure to help spread the word about online social tools (there is life beyond Myspace, world) and clear up a lot of misconceptions about information sharing online. Read a proper report by an Actual-News-Guy-turned-citizen-journalist, over at NowPublic.

I’m looking forward to getting together as a group again, and if the next event attracts the same kind of turnout and lively conversation, then membership will follow soon after I’m sure.
